Girls soccer team shows improvement despite 2-0 loss to Essex

By Ron Giofu

The North Star Wolves senior girls soccer team are 0-2 to start the season but the coaches are still encouraged by what they see on the field.

The Wolves hosted the Essex Red Raiders last Thursday afternoon at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg and came out on the short end of a 2-0 final score.

“I thought we played pretty well,” said North Star head coach Joe Ciliberto. “We moved the ball well. We just didn’t get the lucky breaks this time.”

Ciliberto was confident they are moving in the right direction and that things will be better during their next game in Kingsville against the Cavaliers.

“They played better than the last game,” added assistant coach Amadeus Yousif. “We had chances. It was better than the last time and there was a lot of improvement.”

There were frustrating times during the match against Essex, Yousif added, as they came close but couldn’t finish off their opportunities.
