Starting another spring soccer season, Christine's team defeated its cross-town rival 2-0 on Sunday.
The two Scotch Plains teams faced off on the opening weekend of Intercounty Youth Soccer League U17 (under age 17) girls competition.
Christine's team played hard and smart against a tough opponent. As one of their coaches said afterward, they "got to the ball first" through most of the game. Their goalkeeper handled every close shot beautifully. In the final minutes they appeared to be tiring and the opposing team mounted several attacks, but to no avail as the defense kept the shutout intact.
The regular season runs through May 16.

Since the other Scotch Plains team, our cross-town rivals, call themselves the "Sharks" I think Christine's team should be the "Jets." Go Jets!
