Underclassmen dominate the veteran laden lineup for the Kendall girls varsity soccer team which is taking aim at a top Genesee Region League finish this season.

The Lady Eagles, which went 8-4-1 in the league and 10-6-1 overall last fall have a large contingent of over 15 returnees.

Senior Ava Quintern (24 goals, 7 assists) and sophomore Sophia Picardo (14 goals, 11 assists) who both earned G-R All-Star honors and sophomore Addison Kludt, who was an Honorable Mention selection, head the Lady Eagles large veteran group.

The returning upperclassmen also include seniors Ciarra VanDusen, Ava LaMay and Leann Clay; juniors Stella Kwiatek and Alea Barrett and sophomores Keara Reed, Hailey Ball, Olivia Sawyer and Adriana Schiavone.

“We’ve got a lot of players back and we’re looking to have a very good season,” said Coach Angel Rosario.

The Lady Eagles will open G-R competition on September 9 at home against Oakfield-Alabama.
