Painter collects hat trick plus 2 Photos by Tara Hefferan Despite temperatures that remained below freezing the Lions heated things up on the field blitzing the nets with 7 unanswered goals in their season opener at Kenowa Hills while their defense kept the Knights from mounting any scoring threats at the other end. Grace Painter found the back of the net 5 times and added an assist while Jaxi Long pounded in a pair while twice sending passes to Painter that resulted in goals. Lynnea Briones, Connelly Hefferan-Nordlund, and Belen Torres each added an assist. Coach Painter “We lost 5 starters from last year either due to graduating or deciding to pursue other interests this spring. So we had to look for some girls to fill big shoes following our successful season last year. We have some freshman who are working hard to step up as well a couple new sophomores who are filling in some minutes for us. “I was pleased with our girls’ performance in their first game of the season. They passed the ball well and worked well as a full team. “ The Lions are scheduled to play their home opener today (Tuesday) when Sparta comes to town for a 4:30pm match.
