Slow and Steady Wins the Game

by Mimi Ramsdell

The Hopkinton Varsity Girls Soccer Team added another win to their record this homecoming. In a 2-0 win against Hillsboro, Gabby Forrester and Jenny White each scored. While the Hawks dominated the entire game, it was not until near the end of the first half that the Hawks scored. “It just took us a little longer to get the job done,” explained Preeya Nobis. “We took a lot of shots on net at first, but just could not get the ball in.”

After Forrester’s first goal, White scored, from 40 yards away, securing the Hawk’s lead. “Jenny’s goal was intense and very impressive,” teammate Katie Babson recalled. It appears that due to the rain, the ball slipped out of the goalie’s hands, allowing the second goal.

This win helped Hopkinton’s record, now 8-1-1. The Hawks are looking for a strong finish to the season and hopefully making their way deep into the tournament.
