The accent is on youth for the Lyndonville/Barker girls varsity soccer team as the Lady Tigers prep for the September 6 non league opener at CSAT.

Elisabeth Ingersoll and Alexis Dauphinee are the only retuning seniors on the underclassmen dominated squad.

The veteran group also includes juniors Brooke Robinson, Rylan Townsend, Isabella Groves and Lilly Raduns along with sophomore Leah Costello, freshmen Alexa Robinson and Arnie Sturtevant and eighth grader Natalie Rath.

“We’ve got better numbers this year enough so we can have full varsity and JV teams which is a very positive step,” said Coach Lee Dillenbeck.

The Lady Tigers will open Genesee Region League competition at home on September 11 against Attica.
