After a few games, Evelyn expresses her thoughts on the season and how it feels to be part of the varsity level. “It’s going pretty well, I think we have been doing really good in all of our games,” says Evelyn. 

Having a sister on the team could add lots of encouragement to their playing. Evelyn adds what her goals are for soccer.  “To be able to get a lot of playing time and to be able to communicate well with my teammates,” says Evelyn.

Kwyn has one more year with her sister before she graduates next year. She shares her bond with her sister on the field, “It’s really fun because we connect really well, and it’s fun to be able to play together.”

 A goal Bruce has was “to win EYL because we are a good team this year, so I think we had the strength and everything to win,” says Kwyn.
