Despite the chilly autumn night, a crowd of students gathered on the bleachers to cheer on their friends and join in the fun of the competition. “Getting to know my peers in the intellectual life is wonderful,” said Lucy McCann (’27), “but it’s really fun getting to see their competitive side on the soccer field!” John DeTar (’27) was just as impressed by what he saw as well: “I’m proud to see this example of my classmates’ work ethic.” 

Walz’s team pulled ahead early, leading 1-0 at the end of the first half, but their opponents brought the score to a tie early in the second with a goal from Teresa. Before long, however, Elena made the shot that pulled her team back into the lead, and, with seconds left in game, Hannah Chadwick (’27) cemented the squad’s win with another goal, bringing the final score to 3-1. 

“This has been the most fun season I’ve ever played in my eight years of playing soccer,” said Hannah. “Our team had such good chemistry. There was never a game that I didn’t leave praising Jesus for how much I love soccer!” 

“It was so special to watch my team fall more in love with my favorite sport,” said Elena. “I’m just very grateful for my team and our win.”
