Recently the Hilbert Women’s Soccer team has been struggling to come up with wins. The last couple of games they have been able to tune the games around and help pick up wins for Hilbert.

On Monday, October 16^th the women’s soccer team was able to come home with a victory, eleven to nothing. On Wednesday, October 18^th they were able to take another win on their senior night against Pitts-Bradford, ten to one.

Junior Chloe Champagne says, “our last two games have not been against very competitive teams.” When asked about what has helped the team in the last two games. Champagne also says that the communication on the team has gotten way better than it was in the beginning being as everyone who was new to the team hadn’t had a chance to bond with each other yet.

Communication on the team is very important according to both Senior Kaitlyn Sobczak and Junior Chloe Champagne. Without communication the team has not been able to put full trust into each other, as the season goes on the communication has gotten better as stated by both Sobczak and Champagne.

Sobczak says that “trust in each other” is what has made the last two games so successful. “We are at our best when we use every player on the field and trust them to play at their level,” she said.

Sobczak said she is very excited for this season being as it is her final season. She wouldn’t want to be on any other team and couldn’t be any more proud or grateful for the team she has been on the past four years of college.

Champagne being a junior means that she is one of the girls that people look up to other than seniors. She loves the feeling of other people being able to look up to her and ask her questions or open up to her about anything they might be struggling with.

 “The hardest thing about this year season is the adversary with injuries and sicknesses that we have faced,” stated Sobczak. “The adversity we faced only made us stronger and more disciplined on and off the field.”

Champagne shared her hardship of the year by talking about the red card she received while playing a game previously. She takes full responsibility for what she did, and she knew she let her emotions get the best of her and that it would not only affect her but her teammates as well.

“That was a major mental setback that I had to get over to continue being a successful asset to the team.”
