North Kingstown Girls Soccer wins JV State Championship
In the midst of varsity playoff action, the JV's big victory was a little overlooked.
Written by Lisa Edwards.
The JV girls soccer team got off to a slow start with our first game resulting in a loss to Prout School. The team consisting of 9 sophomores and 11 freshman quickly came together though to win a total of nine games in the regular season.
JV playoffs were handled slightly different this year, in a one-day tournament format on Saturday, Oct. 26, at Bend Street, in Warwick. Only the top four teams were able to play and North being in the number 4 slot, had to make it through the first game against LaSalle. The North JV girls hit the field ready to win and shut out the stunned LaSalle team.
