Work Hard, Play Hard: Belles soccer season is underway

The Belles soccer season gets underway Wednesday with a home opener against the neighboring Holy Cross Saints. Seven first-year players and 15 returning players have been hard at work since mid-August, planning their victory. They’re looking forward to a winning season.

Team co-captain and Belles center Bridget Ronayne ’10 says the team is ready to take the pitch this week, marking the beginning of a successful season. “The team’s goals for this season are to compete at our highest level throughout conference and non-conference play,” Bridget says. “We want to put a winning season together and to become successful both individually and as a team."

To accomplish these goals, Bridget says, "the team will have to work hard at training every day and carry over the skills and techniques we’ve learned individually and as a whole into our game.”
