Final Score: ISY vs. ILBC – 0-0

The ISY high school girls’ soccer team showcased improved teamwork and formation in a competitive home game against ILBC, resulting in a 0-0 draw. The team maintained strong positioning, with players understanding their roles and supporting each other on the field. Rachel, playing as sweeper, was instrumental in midfield, providing solid defensive coverage and lending support to the attack. This game highlighted the team’s progress and unity, reflecting a promising outlook for the rest of the season. Great job, girls!
