Fifteen minutes into the game and the score was 0-0, it was the next 20 that could’ve sent the brand new Chief squad spiraling out of control.  Four goals, all off of miscalculations or crazy plays, saw the Chiefs down 4-0 at half.  Sophomore forward Rylie Cassette and Junior Kendyl Sikorski both got to goal in the first half and narrowly missed.  Moving into halftime the Chiefs needed to avoid the looming danger of loosing their 1st game, at home, and by shut-out.  This would be a tall task by a team of 18 with 13 of them playing their first ever varsity game against a powerful Divine Child team who already were salivating over a chance to shutout the mighty Chiefs. At a minute and a half into the 2nd half the Chiefs gave up a penalty shot that was almost the nail in the coffin as they went down 5-0.  These Chiefs would not brake though!  Down 5-0 any other team would’ve fallen apart, been shut out, and sent home to lick their wounds.  Not these girls, they fought and started hanging with the more powerful Divine Child girls and held the rest of the game to a 0-0 tie.  Junior defensewoman, Maggie Warden, had a shot on goal that almost caused trouble as well as fellow junior, Lily Chollette.  Sikorski almost scored again late in the game as well as freshmen Maggie Mentzer, who drilled the crossbar off of a well calculated shot.  Sophomore goalkeeper Riley Humeniak used her giant “Hamburger Helpers” to catch and steer away anything that came near her and Junior Melissa Mentzer worked tirelessly with help from senior Mira Lazenby, junior Danica Lividini and freshmen Ava Banko. Sophomore  Shaylyn Carpenter controlled the middle while senior Breeann Roupe and sophomores Ava Plackowski and Addison Bozynski worked up and back on the outsides.  Sophomores Addison Dolencic, Callie Eaton and Molly Johnston held down the back line with help from junior Hannah Purcell.         Come see another tough one as the Chiefs tough Journey to the top continues on 4/5/23 at home 6:00 against Father Gabriel Richard HS
