STA Stars win match against Pius, securing 4th place in the nation ranking

By Anna Leach

Last night, the STA varsity soccer team defeated St. Pius X with a score of 6 to 0. While the team beat Pius, the game did not run perfectly the entire time.

According to sophomore center defender and center midfielder Christina DeZeeuw, “It was the easiest team we’ve played all season,” but “at five minutes left in the [first] half, we hadn’t been able to score a goal.”

Within 10 minutes of the second half though, the Stars had scored four goals.

“From then on it was smooth sailing,” DeZeeuw said.

This win ranks the STA varsity soccer team fourth in the nation according to the Powerade Fab 50 Rankings by espn.com; the Stars currently have a 5-0 record for this season. Despite the high placement, the team is trying to be realistic about their performance and future performances, DeZeeuw said.

“We’re not going to let the win go to our heads. We don’t want to get full of ourselves. [You] show up and play every game no matter what.”

Tomorrow, the Stars will play Lee’s Summit West High School with a goal differential, or the amount of goals scored on the opposing team minus goals scored against the Stars, of plus 24.
