The Jamesville-DeWitt High School Varsity Girls Soccer team fell one game short of becoming state champions last fall and are out for redemption. The Lady Rams have remained victorious and kicked their competitors throughout the years, winning seven consecutive sectional championships. Currently, the team stands with a winning record of 14-2 and are devoted to winning sectionals. The team has given dominating performances against Christian Brothers Academy, where they won 8-0, Fayetteville-Manlius, which was another shutout at 3-0, and West Genesee, where they won 4-1. The Lady Rams compete against Homer on Oct. 20 at Jamesville-DeWitt High School.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Early in the season, the Lady Rams encountered many setbacks and were forced to rearrange and adapt. After the first game against F-M, freshman starting goalie Katie Cappelletti was rushed to the hospital for appendicitis and, unfortunately, was sidelined for the following five games. Cappelletti \u201chad to miss important games, especially the (Baldwinsville) game,\u201d said junior Lainey Foti. To counter the setback, sophomore Emma Silverstein filled in as starting goalie. \u201cEmma really stepped up,\u201d said Foti. However, the injuries didn\u2019t stop there; for sectionals, the Lady Rams are without one of their star players. Junior starter Ali Durkin tore her ACL and is out for sectionals. Head coach Hayley Nies said the team will miss the speed of their second leading scorer.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In order to become more of a unit, the team has pizza parties occasionally to bond together as a team. Freshman Sydney Baker is one of the four freshman on the teams, says she fits right in and doesn\u2019t feel uncomfortable. Everyone gets along,\u201d said Baker, and Coach Nies agrees.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Despite some difficulties the Lady Rams have faced, their mind is set on \u201cgoing far in sectionals.\u201d said Silverstein. The team\u2019s former success hasn\u2019t been easy. Sweat and dedication keep the team\u2019s chances alive. \u201cPractices have gotten more intense,\u201d said senior captain Alex Catanzarite.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alex Pomeroy and Connor Ball Staff Writers The Jamesville-DeWitt High School Varsity Girls Soccer team fell one game short of becoming state champions last fall and are out for redemption.
