The Riordan girls’ soccer season drew to a close with an exciting senior night win against Drew. The match was a strong home win of 5-1. This game was not just a normal game but a heartfelt way to send off the seniors. The senior girls were ecstatic to end the season strong.

Co-captain Ava Bowles ’25 said, “Winning our senior night was a fantastic end to an amazing four years with this team. The stands were packed with roaring friends, family, and fans excited to watch our lady Crusaders end the season strong.”

The girls completed the season with a 5-4-2 record and are improving every year. After Riordan started accepting girls in 2020, the women’s athletic department has been growing and improving every year, with this past year being one of the first to have senior girls who started as freshmen.

Along with many of Riordan’s women’s sports, girls’ soccer is not yet in the WCAL league, but they wish to compete in a more
competitive atmosphere in the coming seasons. Though many of the team’s players are graduating this year, the team is expected to continue to persevere and succeed.

Senior and co-captain Josie Espinoza-Schleicher ’25 said, “I know we are leaving the team in great hands.”

The school will see more success from this team in the future.
