fresh in their minds, the

girls came ready to play

on a Saturday morning.

The VC team dominated

the first half and won 7-

1 against the Burke Ea-

gles. Julianna Kranes

had a hat trick by scor-

ing 3 goals, with Molly

Axtell, Amanda Depew,

Teresa Fotino, and

Julianne Holbert each

scoring one goal. As-

sists were made by De-

pew and Emily Dooley.

A great come back after

two losses! Ahead are

The Valley Central Girls’

Varsity started the sea-

son off with a 4-0 loss

against Newburgh Free

Academy. It was a

tough game but the girls

fought hard and had a

few scoring chances,

but just couldn’t finish.

At the second game of

the season the girls

traveled away to play

Washingtonville, last

years Section Nine

Champions. Despite

Cindy Connoly’s 17

saves, Washingtonville

was just to tough this

time around. Washing-

tonville out scored VC 7-

0. It was the team’s

second loss of the sea-

son.

On a beautiful fall day

the VC Girls played Port

Jervis at home. The

girls were focused and

ready to play. The first

win of the season felt

great. Amanda Depew

and Teresa Fotino each

scored a goal. Molly

Axtell scored a goal and

had an assist.

Wikipedia says that Light-

ening is a massive elec-

trostatic discharge by un-

balanced electric charge

in the atmosphere. For

the Valley Central Girls

Soccer Team, the lighting

bolt through our soccer

ball is the symbol for the

energy to be turned on

when you step out on the

soccer field. Coach

Giudice started telling her

players to “Turn it On”

when they stepped out

on to the soccer field.

Coach Giudice would

say, “When you step on

the field it’s like turning

on a switch. You are an

athlete working hard as

you can and playing your

best.” As athletes we

know that when you step

off the field you leave

everything you had on

the field. The game is

over and you turn your

switch off and work on

your education, help your

family and your commu-

nity.

Why a L ightening Bol t?

it’s not her turn. Working

hard at practice and

pushing herself above

what she thinks she can

do. Playing and practic-

ing with “heart” and never

giving up.

It’s not always an easy

decision to make for

Coach Giudice and

Coach Davis.

came out looking phe-

the one the girls tie-

died for Coach

Walsh!) and a good

time was had by all

the girls.

On Saturday, Sept. 15th

the girls of the JV soccer

team got together to work

on a unique teambuilding

experience: tie-dying tee

shirts. The team met up

at a teammate's house

after practice with their

shirts in hand. This was a

chance to spend some

time away from the field

while getting to know

each other better. The

girls talked and were re-
