Mercer Island girls soccer tied Interlake High School 0-0 Thursday, Oct. 24. 

The Islanders battled the Saints in an exciting game that ended in overtime. 

The Islanders had quick and agile ball handling skills, strong shots and aggressive plays, forcing Interlake to play hard defense. However, no points were scored on either end.

“We need to find a way to get more balls in the back of the net but our defense looks really strong and we are hanging in there with any team in the league,” assistant coach Corey Goelz said. 

The energy in the stadium was high with Lily Purchnos quick dodges, Audrey Kris’s fast breakaways and goalie Amy Braman’s saves.  

“I’m really proud of the work,” Goelz said. “Everyone shows up and works hard every game.”

Captain Scarlett Counihan was also quick to build the team up highlighting some of her favorite moments this season.

“Arden scored and she’s a freshman which was pretty fun” Counihan said. “Everyone was really excited, the locker room pregame was really hype.” 

Despite the tie, Goelz is still optimistic about the team.

“It’s such a fantastic group, everyone works so hard. I’m really excited for both the rest of this season and for the future,” Goelz said.

Come see the Islanders in their last home game of the season Oct. 31 against the Bellevue Wolverines.

    The next time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to learn, but I truly thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you may repair for those who werent too busy searching for attention.

    I suppose that some will say the movie was a success because it was action packed, exciting and appealed to a non-trekkie younger audience.

    I’ve observed that in the world of today, video games will be the latest rage with children of all ages. Often times it may be not possible to drag your son or daughter away from the games. If you want the best of both worlds, there are plenty of educational video games for kids. Good post.
