Girls Varsity Soccer

Sports teams for fall are quickly coming to an end. Trumull High's girls varsity soccer teams stands with that athletic crowd, although their heads may not be as high as last year. The team gave 100% effort, but it looks like they needed 110%, as they did not make the FCIAC tournament this year. This was a first for Coach Urlass this being his sixth year coaching the team, but as they say "it's how you play the game," and indeed, he still has praise for his players.

Coach Uhrlass told me nothing but positive things about his captains. He described senior Meg Loughman as "a consistent player who brought creativity to the field." Loughman also proves to be a real team player, as Uhrlass stated she had "great passing ability." The other senior captain, Kara Kapell, is full of drive, described as "bringing speed and hustle during a game. [She] is a real threat to other teams, as she is always ready to score." Kapell "puts pressure on the other teams backline," always giving her all.


Seniors are not the only ones keep the team running, as Junior Marissa Pearson is one of the three captains. According to Coach Uhrlass, "she is an excellent ballwinner." The backline also holds up well, with Melissa Rubin (grade 10), and Rebecca Smith (grade 10) as a "solid Defense".
Varsity Players deserve a round of applause, as the whole team works hard as they come onto the field ready to go. Their sportsmanship and teamwork keeps their coach smiling. Cheers for Varsity, you keep Trumbull High Proud.
