The Lithia Springs girls soccer team is led by team captains Miranda Palacios and Sthefany Lopez, Coach Kevin Pace said.
The Lady Lions went 2-5 in their first seven games of the season, but Pace said the record “doesn’t show how this team has grown and all the hard work they have put into this season.”
“These girls are playing well together,” Pace said. “We just need to improve on the fundamentals and the wins will outweigh the losses. Hopefully if we continue to win region games we can make it to the playoffs.”
Lopez, a junior, has a team-best four goals and 10 points so far. Palacios, a senior, is tops in assists with three, second in points with nine and tied with junior Lucy Udosen for second in goals with three.
“These two young ladies have a long career ahead of them in soccer,” Pace said of Palacios and Lopez. “Both plan on playing at the next level. This is a young team that will get better with experience.”
