On Tuesday, September 17th, WA’s Boys’ varsity soccer team lost to Cambridge 1-0. Even though it was a defeat, WA players had a positive attitude and held their heads high. They all were looking out for each other on the field but despite their best efforts, Cambridge went home with a win.

About 15 minutes into the first half, captain Andrew Awada collided with a player from the other team. Awada was led off the field, appearing to be okay with no major injuries.

During the remainder of the first half, Cambridge scored a point for their team. WA continued to give it their all, passing the ball to each other down the field. Their efforts were interrupted by the end of the first half but they were determined to make a comeback in the second half.

The second half started up and WA players seemed more confident on the field. Passing the ball back and forth to each other, the team seemed more in sync with each other.

By the end of the second half, neither WA or Cambridge scored another goal. It was the last ten minutes of the game, WA was rushing to score, hoping to tie the game. Despite their hard effort, Cambridge left the game with a win on their back. Though WA may have lost, their teamwork and positive attitudes really stood out throughout the game.
