On Tuesday, they played non-conference foe Mount Horeb at home to a 0-0 tie in regulation. Sugar River had 4 saves and Mt. Horeb 3. The girls also recognized their parents that evening. Nice to see all the parents’ support!
Thursday the girls traveled to Watertown to take on another conference team of Luther Preparatory School. Another hard-fought matchup ending in a 1-0 shutout for their 11th of the season. Ellie Gentilli had the lone Raider goal with an assist from Kirsten Krantz in the first 5 minutes of action. Sugar River had 1 save and Luther Prep had 6.
