The Hopewell Junior High girls’ soccer team had a big win over Beaver on Wednesday.

When these two teams met earlier in the season Hopewell walked away with a loss but this time around the game looked different.

The Viking girls came to play, and their perseverance secured them a 1-0 win, with the only goal of the game shot by Kendall Bain, assisted by Afton Budris.

The girls had a rough start to the season but seem to be turning things around with this latest win showcasing teamwork, determination and grit. They have one final game of the season at Freedom High School on October 1st at 4:45pm with the Junior High boys team playing before them at 3:30pm.

Also wanted to mention the effort of the Girls HS Soccer team.

While they’re certainly a bit short-handed this season, that didn’t stop them from competing and giving an outstanding effort against Avonworth

The Lady Vikings took Avonworth to double overtime before losing 1-0. Avonworth’s Kelle Herkaralyn scored the GW goal with just 1 second left on the clock.

The girls team showed determination as well, fighting hard against a tough Beaver offense.

Goalie Cora Quinn made a number of outstanding saves in the first half to keep the Vikings within reach, but Beaver took a two-goal advantage into halftime.

In the second half, Hopewell pushed forward and found success with two goals of their own. The first goal came when Afton Budris scored on a breakaway and the second came when Stella Sannan was able to score on a penalty kick.

However, Beaver was able to score two more times, and the game ended with a 4-2 loss for the Viking girls.

It’s soccer season all across Hopewell! Not only are the Hopewell HS programs in action but so too are the boys and girls junior high team.

⚽️ Hopewell Junior High Soccer Update ⚽️

Hopewell Junior High Boys and Girls hosted Winchester Thurston in back-to-back matches. The boys battled hard in a tough 3-2 loss, while the girls fought to a well-earned draw.

Boys Game Recap

The boys faced an early deficit after Winchester scored first to go up 1-0. Hopewell had more scoring opportunities than their opponent but just had trouble getting their shots past their goalie who had several key saves. 

Hopewell tied the game when Ben Gibson drew a foul. Gibson was called on to take the free kick where the goalie was able to deflect the shot forcing a corner kick. Gibson again took the kick from the corner where he delivered a perfect ball to Dylan Ankrom, who buried a header for Hopewell’s first goal. The momentum was short-lived as Winchester quickly responded, giving Hopewell a 2-1 halftime deficit.

After another early second-half goal from Winchester, the Vikings trailed 3-1. Hopewell kept threatening and saw their second goal come when Enzo Crisci broke away and dribbled to the net for the second goal. The last five minutes of the game saw several attempted shots from Hopewell but could not convert their third goal.

Girls Game Recap

The girls showed tremendous grit, with strong defensive efforts led by goalie Cora Quinn and Ellie McCoy to keep the game close. Winchester struck first in the opening half, but the Vikings responded after halftime. Afton Budris found the back of the net, finishing a setup from Rihanna Arthur to tie the game. The Hopewell’s defense held strong the rest of the way, securing a 1-1 draw.

Great effort by both squads today — the Vikings keep getting stronger each match!
