On Sept. 23, the girls soccer team lost to Abington Heights 5-0.

According to head coach Kevin Quinn, Abington Heights is one of the most skilled teams that DV will face this season. 

“They were in the state championships last year,” coach Quinn said, “and a junior on their team broke the school’s [Abington Heights’] scoring record last season.” 

Despite facing a tough team, the Warriors battled their way through with full effort the whole game.

Key players during the game were senior Cara Churchill and senior goalie Dakota Jordan: two of the four captains of the 2024 season, along with seniors Juliet Fitzpatrick and Arianna Healy. “Dakota made a lot of good saves,” coach Quinn said. 

Coach Quinn believes both players were integral to the team’s development at this point in the season.

“Cara has really stepped it up, a lot of the games she’s been great. Especially against Scranton Prep,” he said.

Coach Quinn stated that the Warriors have a lot to improve on for the rest of their season. 

“We need to limit penetration, block shots and look to attack in transition,” coach Quinn said.

The team is ranked 4th in PIAA District II power rankings with a record of 2-4-2.

The Warriors take on Holy Redeemer High School on Oct. 15 for Senior Night.
