Eisenhower tied Grosse Pointe North 1-1 on Senior Night. The Eagles had plenty of chances throughout the evening and struggled to capitalize through the first half, heading into halftime in a scoreless tie. In the 2nd half, Junior Captain Ava Dukaj put Eisenhower up 1-0, with 6 minutes remaining on a beautiful cross from Freshman Ellera Jakubowski. The game looked to be in hand until GPN earned a corner and were able to tie it up with a little over 3 minutes left in the game. Seniors Amy Sidaway and Viveca Krolczyk were incredible all night in net behind stellar defense from Abby Beardsley, Katie VanDeWinkle and Julia Aniel.
Halftime saw a celebration of the Class of 2023. The Seniors and their families, who have contributed over the years to the Eagle program were honored as this was their last home game of the season. Senior Captains Grace DeJong, Chloe O'Loughlin and Amy Sidaway, as well as Viveca Krolczyk, Ellie Daoust, Elena Medina and Gabrielle Matoski all were celebrated with their families in a wonderful halftime ceremony led by Nora VanDeWinkle and her crew of volunteers. It was a great night with a Reception afterward, enjoyed by the players and their families.
Up next - the Eagles travel to L'anse Creuse North on Wednesday for another MAC Red Matchup. Kickoff for JV is at 4:30 pm with Varsity to follow at 6:30pm
