Albion will open the girls soccer season by hosting a tournament on September 3 and 5.
The opening round on Thursday will have Attica vs. Oakfield-Alabama and Albion vs. Barker/Lyndonville. The Albion vs. Barker/Lyndonville contest, which will be at 6:45 p.m., will also count as an Niagara-Orleans League game.
Albion returns a good nucleus including seniors Ava Woolston, Shayla Higgins, Brittany Lewis, Yaritza Fernandez Perez, Dulce Sanchez and Isabella Truelson along with junior Alayna Flugel; sophomores Aaliyah Jones, Lena Grillo, Lux Froman, Jane Nesbitt and freshman Madison Frasier. Lewis was a second team N-O All-League honoree last fall and Wooston earned Honorable Mention.
“We have most of our team back and they are working hard so we should be improved,” said Coach Maggie Orbaker.
Albion went 2-6-4 in N-O action last fall.
