On Thursday, May 2nd, the girls’ soccer team defeated Kennedy High School in a home conference game.
The day before, their game against South got cancelled and the girls went into their game against Kennedy ready to play. During the first half, the Lady Spartans gained the lead, scoring one goal in the first half by Junior Elina Laine. TJ picked it up during the second half, scoring three goals, all by Sophomore Kelly Cordes.
The weeks before, after four games were cancelled and two and a half weeks of not being able to play on the turf, the girls soccer game is back in action, winning three of their past four games.
On April 29th, the Spartans headed into Viking territory where they played North High School. It was a close game, the final score being 4-3, with the TJ coming out on top.

The day before, the girls had a rough game against the East Angels. The ladies played hard but couldn’t pull off the win over their long time rivals. The girls came out strong, only allowing in one goal during the first half. In the second half they kept up their intensity, but the Angels were able to get ahead, scoring their first goal in the second half off of a penalty kick. The final score of the game was 5-0.
On the 26th, the Spartans played Montbello, and came out with an easy victory of 6-0. Sophomore Marinah McGinnis score one goal along with her sister, Braelah, and Roder. Cordes was able to score three goals.
