The Green Hope Women’s soccer team has been working tirelessly. The players practice for 1.5 hours a day and attend three games a week. Despite their efforts, the road to success hasn’t been easy. On March 30th, Apex Friendship scored two goals on the soccer team, handing the Falcons a 2-0 defeat. Instead of walking away from this defeat with a sense of sorrow, the soccer team left with valuable lessons.

“My main take away from that (Apex) game was that our new formation is working well to limit goal-scoring opportunities for opponents, but that we must do a better job of possessing the ball to have a chance to score ourselves,” said Jason Wolfe, the coach of the Women’s soccer team. 

Taking away from the Apex game, the team has been able to make a comeback. On April 4th, the Falcons beat Panther Creek 4-1 and added more points to the Fight for 55. Coach Jason Wolfe applauds the team’s sense of community even against tough competition. “They are a hard-working group of girls who like to have fun. I admire how positive/mentally tough they have remained despite our current record.”

The team is currently 3-8-1 with hope to improve their record.

Coach Wolfe has one final thought about the season, “We will keep doing the best we can.  I don’t foresee any tactical changes.  Our goal for the season at the halfway point (decided on by the players on Monday at practice) is to try and win 6 games total–we need 3 more wins to get there and then I will reward them with an ice cream party.”
