Despite the freezing weather and even bouts of rain, the varsity girls’ soccer team still began the season with The Woodlands Tournament, posting a 0-1 loss against O’Connor.

“I thought we played well as a team despite the freezing weather,” senior Mallory Davidson said. “We connected well but sometimes got a little unlucky.”

The loss didn’t keep the players down for long. For their second game against Clear Lake, the Lady Mavs ended 3-0 with a goal shot by Davidson and two others shot by freshman Hannah Solano.

“It was so great to score the first goal of the tournament, especially because I haven’t played in a while,” Davidson said. “I’m so glad I’m able to be a part of the team this year.”

However, the team faced another loss in the final game of the tournament against Cypress Creek by a score of 2-1.

With a starting record of 1-2-0 for their season, the team still has a long schedule ahead of them.

“Our goals this year are to play hard no matter what and to be selfless,” Davidson said. “We are a team and we can’t win without each other.”
