Seniors Girls D2 Soccer Honour Graduating Players - Issue 10

Senior Night is one of the most meaningful traditions in King’s-Edgehill School athletics, and this year the senior girls’ soccer team celebrated it twice, facing Avon View High School in both of their Senior Night games. Before kickoff, the School paused to honour three graduating players whose skill, leadership, and dedication have shaped the program. Here is how they were introduced to the crowd.

 

Grace ’27

Our first senior is someone we want to thank for her many years of contributions to the KES soccer program. Although she battled some significant injuries, she always supported the team, cheering them on from the sideline when she could not be on the field. She is a top-class wing back who played her best game in the regional semifinal against CK. She is also a lifer, the moral compass of her peers, and your Head Girl. With the #6 on her back, give it up for Grace!

Annika ’27

Next up is one of our captains, a role model on and off the pitch who pushes her teammates to be their best. She has played through adversity and injuries. She is our set-piece specialist and the engine of the team, running circles around her opponents. She is the anchor, the glue, the conductor and the executioner all at once while she is dominating the midfield. Her contributions helped carry us to last year's final at RNS, to back-to-back regional finals, and to two provincial qualifiers. Our team captain, wearing #4, Annika!

 

Natalia "Tals" ’27

Finally, we have another team captain and another lifer: the epitome of athleticism and leadership. She is having a true breakout season. She has not missed a single practice, has played almost every minute of every game, and has scored 20 goals along the way, helping the team reach back-to-back regional finals. She earned her starting spot on the senior team in Grade 9 and has never looked back. We could not be prouder of her development or more thankful for her contributions to the team. Your star striker this season, wearing #3, Natalia "Tals"!
