Wolves improve to 2-1 on the year with big 7-2 win over Ste. Cecile

North Star’s Aria Pare kicks the ball upfield during her team’s 7-2 win last Wednesday. Pare scored two goals in the game.

The North Star Wolves senior girls soccer team were on the winning end of a high scoring game last week on their home field.

The Wolves girls soccer team is now 2-1 on the year after beating Ste. Cecile by a final score of 7-2 last Wednesday afternoon at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg. 

Taliya Robson scored three goals while Aria Pare scored a pair of goals. Felicia Fox and Emily McGuire also scored for the Wolves. 

“I think they played amazing,” said North Star coach Joe Ciliberto. 

In addition to their senior players, like Robson, playing well, they got contributions from younger players such as their Grade 9 rookies. 

Pare and goal keeper Emersyn Oliver are among those latter group of players.

Ciliberto also pointed out that Ada Faber had a good game on defense for the Wolves.

“It was an all-around great game,” Ciliberto said of the win over Ste. Cecile.

North Star hosts Essex today (April 23) at 4 p.m. 

Ciliberto expected that to be a good game as the Red Raiders are their rivals.

Ciliberto said this year’s North Star team has high hopes. He said they expect to go deep into the playoffs and win. 

The initial goal is to win the WECSSAA soccer championship.

“This is our year,” said Ciliberto. “We’re hoping we can play well and advance to OFSAA. We’ll see.”

The team is a “good mix” of rookie players as well as older players in Grades 10, 11 and 12.

“They are playing well together,” he said. “They are meshing well as a team no matter who they are up against.”

The Wolves are now at the halfway point of the regular season. 

After the Ste. Cecile game, they have the game versus Essex as well as a game at L’Essor April 28 at 4 p.m. and a home game against the Kennedy Clippers May 5 at 4 p.m.
