Alums Arrive for Annual Soccer Rivalry
Tsuneko Jarris ’08
It was a blazing hot September Saturday
as the members of our Varsity Boys Soccer
Team stepped onto the newly placed turf.
The weather peaked at ninety-seven degrees,
and the onlookers were perspiring on the
sidelines. Juan Arreaza ’05 of the 2005 New
England Championship team scored the first
goal with an impressive through ball from
Dave Eckhardt ’86. Closely following this
play, Nick Lines ’08 scored a screamer from
eleven yards out. The final score was three to
two, the Alumni taking the win.
Aside from this intense rivalry it was a
good time for the players, both students and
Alumni, to bond. “It is always fun to see who
comes back to play in the alumni game. This
year Juan Arreaza made an appearance which
brought back great memories,” said two year
captain Adam Pistel ’08. Strong contributing
players to the soccer team this year include
Kohei Hotta ’10, assistant captain Tomasso
D’Agosdino ’09, Will Cooley ’08, and newcomer
goalie Steven Kiss ’10.
The boys have a series of home games this
year and “Always love an enthusiastic
crowd!” says Cooley.
Volleyball: Meg Miller ‘08, Emily Cassello ‘08, and Amar Khalsa ‘08
Q: What is the chemistry like on your team?
We are still getting to know everyone’s strengths and weaknesses. We are
definently in the rebuilding stage but we start that way every season. In a
week we will really be more together.
A: How do you like your new coach, Ms. Hettrick?
Q: She is great! She really motivates us at every practice and at our games.
She is more intense with our practices. We are even running! She wants us
to be more successful and I definitely think we will be. At our first play day
we won two games that is already more games then we won last season. We
see ourselves going places.
