The First "Real" Home Game

Last Tuesday saw the first home game on Trinity's campus. Because of the historic achievements of last year's girls varsity soccer team, it was decided the honor would go to them to play the first game on our fields. After a time of prayer and reflection on the work to get us here, I was asked to cut a ribbon held by current and previous soccer coaches, and the game began.

Thanks to so many of you who came out to celebrate the opening with us. For a game in early March, the weather was beautiful and the field looked great. I chatted with the referees during half-time and they remarked that it was one of the nicest fields they had seen in our area.

Once the game started, the big question was "who would be the first person to score a goal on Trinty's campus?" The suspense wouldn't last long. A couple minutes into the game, Olivia DelGrosso made a great breakaway run and kicked a great shot at the goal. The ball hit the top beam of the goal and bounced right towards an alert Jamie Myers who kicked it into the goal. The historic photo to the left shows the first official goal on Trinity's fields. Goal by Jamie Myers with assist by Olivia DelGrosso. The girls went on to defeat Franklin Academy by a score of 10-0.
