Senior Jenna Sampson tries to keep ball in the Viking’s possession at the game against Kamiak on November 3. Though they fought hard to win this game the team lost to Kamiak 0-2. However they defeated Monroe and are ready to take on Kamiak again to continue in the competition. “We played well but it didn’t turn out as well as me hoped,” Sampson said referring to the November 3 game.

The girls soccer team fought long and hard to score their way to districts. With the unfortunate loss against Kamiak on Tuesday, November 3, their fate was on the line for the upcoming game against Monroe on Thursday, November 5. However, they pulled through for an outstanding victory of 3-0. Now, the team will have to face Kamiak again on Saturday, November 7 to hold their place on the district charts.

Senior Jenna Sampson knew that the team made mistakes throughout the match against Kamiak. She knows that they need to have a more competitive mindset because the stakes are at the highest if the team wants to continue through districts.

“It was a really close game, and there was a lot at stake. Districts are a lot more competitive than regular season games. We made simple mistakes that they took advantage of, and that’s how [Kamiak] won,” Sampson said.

Make sure to support your fellow Vikings this Saturday at Arlington High School at 3PM. Keep calm, and score on, girls!
