\"River<\/a><\/p>\n

By Emily Thornton, Staff Writer<\/p>\n

The Girls Soccer program has arguably been the most dominant River Hill team for the past few years, winning the state championship three years in a row. This year, the fight is no different. Former starting goalie, Julia Caine, graduated in 2015, leaving senior Katie Caddigan in charge.<\/p>\n

Three-year-starters Jessie Hopkins and Becca Higgins suffered\u00a0 ACL injuries in the spring, causing both of them to be out for the season. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be tough without Jessie or Becca, but we\u2019re still gonna put up a fight. We have a lot of strong freshman on our team working hard to fill their position,\u201d Katie Caddigan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot being able to play soccer my senior year is beyond emotional. My job this year is to keep our team\u2019s attitude up and mentor the newer players in the best way I can,\u201d states Jessie Hopkins.<\/p>\n

Their current record is 4-1-1, losing only to Reservoir 3-2. Atholton looms as one of their biggest rivals. \u201cEvery single player is strong. It\u2019s definitely going to be a challenge, it always is,\u201d states sophomore Gracie Seybold.<\/p>\n

They play out wide and back into the middle which has been their approach for several years, and it has clearly been successful.<\/p>\n

Senior Caitlin O\u2019Brien provides strength on the defensive end, but many underclassmen have been adopted this year, and the coach expects a lot from them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all the freshmen it\u2019s going to be a little harder to adjust. They\u2019re extremely skilled and talented though so I\u2019m sure they will get the hang of it,\u201d states sophomore, Megan Chun. \u201cLike me last year, they definitely feel a lot of pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n

They beat Linganore High School 2-1 for the state title last year, and they hope to get to States again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want a 4-peat! Let\u2019s get it!\u201d, says sophomore Maddy Kater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
