Lehigh Township goes unbeaten

The Lehigh Township Athletic Association U10 A girls soccer team went undefeated this season. The girls team led by head coach Roger Straub and assistant coach Aimee Galicki, coached the girls to a perfect season winning the Blue Mountain Soccer Youth League Division with a record of 10-0.

In those 10 games, the team only allowed 11 goals to be scored on them, and four of those games the other teams were scoreless. This past weekend, the girls continued their winning streak, going 6-0, only allowing 2 goals to be scored on them to win the Garcia Cup Tournament, ending their perfect season at 16-0, an accomplishment achieved by so few teams.

The girls were able to achieve this amazing accomplishment due their dedication and determination that they showed throughout the season. The offensive line, comprised of Rebekkah Galicki, Raine Korpics and Kyleigh Straub, were aggressive and unstoppable. They worked well together, and were nicknamed the "Triple Threat."

The main defensive line, comprised of Gianna Kintz, Julia Mertz and Korinne Andersch, was solid and tough. Through their hard work, the offense for the other teams were given so few chances to score.

Lauren Straub, Erica Hudson and Rachel Hudson were fierce and competitive players, often playing both offensive and defensive positions. The team was able to shutout so many teams because of the great goal keeping skills of Alexandra Benedict and Kylie Gilliard, jumping and diving on all balls that came their way.

The girls are more than just teammates, they are friends off the field as well. They played hard all season, showed great sportsmanship and worked together as a team. There was not one superstar of the team, each girl was a valuable player and because of their cohesiveness as a team, they were able to have the perfect season.
