Lady Mustangs Capture Optimist Tournament!
The Lady Mustangs capped off a successful tournament with wins Friday (3-0) vs. Madison and in the championship game Saturday (2-0) vs. Sherberne-Earlville. Amber Piersma scored both goals in the final to power the Lady Mustangs. Amber was joined on the All-Tourney Team by defensive powerhouse Zoe Hoke.
The Lady Mustangs captured MVP hardware on both offense and defense, as Hayleigh Gates and Hannah Gigliotti were recognized. Coach Williams' team is young, often starting five freshmen, but they are anchored by strong senior leadership.
Congratulations to our Lady Mustangs!
