Both SJC teams were in pre-season action on August 23rd as they hosted the varsity and junior varsity squads from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School for friendlies at Quinn Field.
Under the leadership of first-year Head Coach Angelo GRANGER, the Cadets battled to a 1-1 tie in JV action. Both teams were well-supported by family, friends and peers throughout the 70 minute contest, much to the delight of the SJC student-athletes who have bonded well over the course of pre-season training.
In the nightcap, the varsity found three points thanks, in part, to the heading accuracy of Cat who finished a lovely cross in the 75th minute to give SJC the lead. The Cadets had more of the run of play in the second half as B-CC peppered SJC 'keeper Kirsten with a barrage of short and long-range strikes during the first 40 minutes of play.
The SJC back four, led by Liz, Morgan, Demi and Allison, held their ground well against the defending Maryland state champions. Kudos to all members of the varsity for their efforts in the friendly against B-CC.

The exhibitions were also a time for members of both teams to welcome back SJC assistant coach Patrick PRONK, who had been in his native Netherlands prior to the start of pre-season to attend to family matters.
