The MAST Academy girls’ soccer team warms up for its GMAC quarterfinal against TERRA on Jan. 9, 2024.

On January 9th, the MAST Academy girls’ soccer team comes out on top 2-1 against Terra Environmental Research after a lengthy wait for a second referee. The game was originally scheduled for 4 pm but was delayed 2 hours due to a tardy game official which left both teams feeling more anxious about the game than before. Despite the setback, the Makos were able to get things back on track.

8th Grader Daniela Sanchez-Zaccaria made one of the two points and Senior Jessica Engel made the second. Senior and Goalie Heidi Schultz made 4 saves over the course of the game. 8th grader Luisa Verswyel and Junior Florencia Alvarez both had 1 assist.
