![A SLIPPERY GAME: For junior Isaura Lopez, playing at House Park means an atmosphere of both excitement and nerves. For their first time playing there this season, the girls varsity soccer team met up with rivals LASA last Wednesday in the pouring rain. With full stands despite the downpours, the game had high stakes from the very beginning, which only fueled Lopez.
“I felt good going into the game,” she said, “I was nervous but I felt like I was prepared and ready to go.”
Though her confidence never faltered, the introduction of a new player to LASA’s squad caught Lopez off guard. With teammates telling her to watch out from the sides and the crowds jeering from above, she realized the competition was going to be harder than she anticipated.
“There was a fast player coming in on the field and I was told to be ready,” Lopez said. “I got a bit more nervous because I thought I wouldn’t be able to beat her, but I managed to.”
The rain didn’t help either, causing people to slip and the ball to change direction on a dime. This added level of difficulty only made McCallum’s need to communicate greater, something Lopez says the whole team could use some help with.
“We need to work on communication,” she said. “Being able to talk when we want the ball and control it more.”
Though the first match-up ended in a 1-1 tie, Lopez is confident in the team’s ability going into their next meeting.
“Our team played pretty well considering it was pouring rain,” she said, “We were playing a good team, and we still managed to play better [than them]. I know next time we will beat them.”
