Ionia Girls Varsity Soccer team played their best game of the season but were defeated by Charlotte by a score of 3-1 on Monday night. 

We took an early lead on a Kara Kramer-Lake goal and ended the half up 1-0. We held the lead for the first 15 minutes of the half and then Charlotte snuck in a goal. They followed with back to back goals off corner kicks and we were unable to answer the call late. A few different bounces off the corner kicks and things could have ended differently. 

Kara Kramer-Lake scored the lone goal for us tonight. Marte van Diest has stepped into a huge leadership role late in the season and played her best game of the season. Mimose Sandborn also played an excellent game for us at sweeper, she’s also stepped up and been big for us after some major injury troubles to the team early in the season. 

The girls continue to improve every single day. We will take on Lansing Waverley Wednesday at 7, with Jv starting at 5:30.
