Perry versus Corona del Sol at Campo Verde High School.

They went to state and lost and now their back ready to fight their way to the top. Varsity Girls Soccer is off to a good start for the season and their hopes continue to be high on making it to state. On 19 November girls soccer had a scrimmage against Peoria and won 13-0.

Junior main center Gina Bracamonte says, “ Our team is pretty well put together. There was times we were shaky because it was the very beginning, but since then we’ve done a lot better and it was a good start for us.”

On  December sixth the puma girls played against Campo Verde, a team they have never played against before according to Bracamonte.

They came out on top winning 2-0. The two goals were made by Ashley Dahl and Peighton Gumm with help from Emily Romer and Kelly Canistra.

Romer kicked the ball in and the Campo goalie got a touch on it. The ball came out to Dahl who was then able to make the goal.

“The first game is always rough and you always have stuff to work on and I feel like it will be a good year and we’ll make it to state again this year because we have a lot of talent,” says Dahl.

Canistra was dribbling down to the left side and made it to the in line and crossed it where Gumm was then able to make a one time hit into the goal.

“I expect us to do well because we all work really hard but i think we still have a lot to improve upon until the end of the season,” says Gumm.

The Peoria scrimmage was successful along with the first game of the season against Campo. You couldn’t ask for a better start to a much anticipated season.
