Goalkeeper and senior, Abby Prager believes staying concentrated and having a fierce mindset keeps them scoring.
“I think a lot of our strategy was to come out with a lot of intensity and really focusing on hitting on everyone’s feet and scoring,” Prager said.
“I’m looking forward on improving and seeing how long we can stay undefeated, also hopefully getting a couple wins in league and going to CIFs and seeing how far we can get in that,” Lange said.

Leah States and Ryah Hernandez, both sophomores, had scored with assists from Ward and sophomore Lexi Gentry.
