The Eisenhower Girls Varsity Soccer Team celebrated Senior night at Swinehart Field on Friday while hosting the OAA White Champions, the Lake Orion Dragons.  Beautiful weather and a great home crowd atmosphere made the night special for our 12 amazing Seniors.  Captains Maria Riggio, Makayla Belanger, Grace Pabian and Nina Ferraro were joined alongside the other Seniors – Alicia Horecki, Lucia Mancini, Jacqueline Hawkins, Marissa Marlett, Bianca Candela, Marissa Maniaci, Bianca Popovski and Kylie Kade.

Ike started an all-senior lineup.  It was a defensive battle, with both teams playing tough through the midfield.  Finally, in the 18^th minute, Maria Riggio was fouled on a drive and Ike was awarded a free kick.  Bianca Candela lined up the shot and drilled it perfectly into the back upper corner of the net for a 1-0 lead.  That was all the scoring that would be needed, as the Ike defense held strong.  Amazing saves by goalies Alicia Horecki and Sophomore Amy Sidaway helped seal the 1-0 victory!

The MAC Red champion Lady Eagles will travel to Grosse Pointe North next Monday to close out their regular season play.  Kickoff is at 6pm.   District playoffs start on Wednesday, when Ike hosts Utica Ford II at Swinehart Field.
