The Lobos came out ready to play hard against Grace Academy, one of their first league games of the season, and the Lobos took the day, beating Grace 3-2 on Sept. 29.

Charlie O’Neill, who scored one that day for his team, said, “They were a good team, hard to get around their defense. But we just kept our focus.”

O’Neil scored one on an assist from Nia Bartalucci that found air and a hole into the goal.

“They all played well as a team that day. Charlie scored, William Carson scored, and Nia Bartalucci,” coach Melanie Weber said. “They played really well as a team and everyone had a huge impact on the game. Arlen Coiley broke his leg goal keeping on Tuesday, though, and that was a tough break, literally. But everyone made their mark.”

For example, Lobo Grant Fisher fed the ball to Nia Bartalucci who controlled it and shot it for a post score against Grace.
