Sportsmanship pays off for MHS girls soccer

By Alexis Ramsey

Fifty-four to nine.

It’s an odd ratio but one that means a lot to 24 girls on one soccer team. That ratio is how many goals the Middletown High School girls varsity soccer team scored to how many that were scored on them throughout the season.

One to zero is the winning score for the third State Championship that the MHS soccer team has won in a row.

It was a tough game, two teams butting heads until the very end. With only 23 seconds left on the clock MHS junior Mary-Ann Pritts received a pass from MHS senior Mary-Kate Afzali that allowed for a left-footed kick to the right top of the goal.

After a season of hard fought games leading the team to its third straight State Championship win MHS girls varsity soccer coach Heather Kline said, “I can finally breathe.”

Now, nearly a month after the breathtaking win over Fallston, the MHS girls soccer team has received the honor of the MPSSAA Girls Soccer Steve Malone Sportsmanship Award.

Shown to the entire school over the morning broadcast Mackenzie Noel, MHS senior and captain of the team, received the award along with Kline.
