Lady Wildcats Soccer 3-0 For Season

The Centreville High School varsity girls’ soccer team heads into the spring break with a 3-0 record, scoring 10 goals and giving up only two in the first weeks of the season. 

On March 18, they traveled to TC Williams and defeated the team 6-1. Weathering frigid temperatures, wind, and constant rain, the girls came out fast. Team captain Clara Logsdon wasted no time scoring her first of six goals only 28 seconds into the match, as she took a well placed pass from Jenna Green and beat several TC Williams defenders to calmly slot the ball past the diving goalie. Green and Logsdon worked well together as Green logged four assists on the day, hitting Logsdon on runs throughout the first half. Baillee Gilmore also logged a skilled assist, hitting Logsdon in stride as she finished the first half with 5 goals.

Entering the second half leading 5-1, with deteriorating weather conditions, the scoreless second half battle was broken when Logsdon scored her sixth goal of the match. Midfielder Grace Mondloch launched a long ball over the TC Williams back line and got her first assist of the young season.

Centreville’s first home match of the season on March 20 was against a very talented Woodson High team. Excellent back-and-forth play from both teams saw the game tied 0-0 until Logsdon broke the stalemate in the first half. Madi Simons’ brilliantly placed corner kick found her racing in toward the goal. 

Down by a goal, Woodson came out in the second half relentlessly attacking. The defensive line of Richmond recruit Lindsay Egbers, Kasey Martino, Lexi Littlefield, and Logsdon shut down numerous Woodson runs, and goalkeeper and Liberty University recruit Tori Collar made several spectacular saves to keep Woodson scoreless. Across three games this season, Collar has collected 17 saves in goal. Looking for insurance, Centreville midfielder Nastassia Tiangco found Logsdon and delivered a perfect pass for an assist as Logsdon notched her eighth goal in two games.  

When the team returns from spring break, they are scheduled to play at home against West Springfield on April 2, then will travel to McLean on April 4.
