After a hard fought win on Monday against McDonald, the Newman Catholic boys soccer team continues to dominate their opponents. The Cardinals, now 14-0-1, have continued their undefeated season as they did last year. In an interview with head coach, Mike Switalski, he stated, “The difference between this year and last is that there is no difference. Rather we are still playing with the same concept, built on strong soccer tradition.”
With the loss of 12 seniors from last soccer season, the hopes for the Cardinals’ run for state seemed doubtful. However, the team’s seamless play and how they work together have become the basis for their winning streak. When asked who leads the team, Coach Switalski replied, “It’s not just one player, but the entire team. The seniors have brought great morale to the program and along with that the other teammates have caught the fever and become key players.”
The captains, along with the rest of the team, believe a state title is within reach. Now, more than halfway through the season and undefeated, their chances for state have ignited their drive for perfection. “There are upcoming games that will be tough,” said Coach Switalski, “but as long as we continue our energy, teamwork and enthusiasm, there is no reason why we can’t win. The key to success is team soccer.” Be sure to check up-and-coming articles for more news on the soccer team. Go Cards!
