Excitement Surrounds Start to U18 Fall Season

9/8/11…This coming Saturday the girls U18 team travels to Rockford, IL to start their 2011 Fall MRL season.  The girls will be taking on the Palatine Celtics on Saturday afternoon and Fox Valley Strikers on Sunday morning.

 The Shattuck-St.Mary’s U18 girls have won the Fall MRL title the past two years and are looking to make it a three-peat. The team has been training everyday for the past two weeks, and are looking forward to getting on the field for their first competitive games of the season.

The U18 team has four returning players from last years squad, Kaelyn Korte, Lily Jilk, Amanda Goulet, and Dani Patterson. Along with the four returning players, the team is made up of a quality group that played on the U17 squad last season. Head coach David Linenberger feels that his side is ready for the weekend games, stating, “I feel that we have a quality squad this year. A hard working group with good team camaraderie.”

SSM will kick-off with Palatine Celtics Saturday @ 5pm, and have a quick turn around for their kick-off with Fox Valley Strikers the next morning @ 8am.

Good Luck to the U18 Girls this weekend!
