Girls Soccer

On September 26, 2018, the girls varsity soccer team competed but lost 4-1 in their last game against the Magruder Colonels. Senior Jennifer Lopez scored the goal off of senior Annie Riley’s phenomenal passing skills that led to an assist.

“We played well but let off at the end,” Lopez said. “We need to play the whole game with energy to come out on top and secure the win,” she added. The Wolverines look to win their next game on October 3, which is an away game for them against the Rockville Rams. Go Rines!!!
