Eagles Girls Soccer Falls in Opener to Des Moines Christian
The Eagles girls soccer team opened against traditional foe Des Moines Christian, but fell 4-1. Head Coach Mike Buchheit says the Lions found their first goal two minutes in and didn’t look back.

“We have a lot of new girls not only playing varsity, but starting on varsity. 7 of the 11 girls had never played a high school game and in one case a starter played their first official game of soccer.”

Katherine Wielard scored her first career varsity goal, assisted by Ellie Brouwer, and goalie Lydia Zylstra tallied 12 saves. The 0-1 Eagles host Ottumwa at the Pella Soccer Complex this evening at 5:30.
