Trinity was down by one at the half, but after halftime they came out strong. Katie Was scored the first goal in the 53rd minute and was assisted by Sophie Busk. Melissa Thomas scored the winning goal in the 76th minute with an assist by Marilyn Preuss. This 2 to 1 win is a solid victory since Westview is one of the most competitive teams that they play every year. The girls start their conference season 1-0 and are 2-0 in the season overall. -Katherine Couch ('12)

The junior varsity also played Northwood in their first game of the season. The girls played amazingly well as a team, looking out for one another's weaknesses and utilizing all their combined strengths. The teams were very well matched. Northwood scored its only goal when the box was overcrowded and Trinity’s keeper, Lucy Anderson, was blocked from grabbing the ball. The girls lost the game 1-0 but played exceedingly well under the wet conditions.
