"I was really proud of how we finished up the season," said Head Coach Betsy Warren. "We have taken a big step in the right direction for building the future of Chatham Soccer this season, and the win-loss record does not reflect this team's performance. We are a young team, starting six new players, but as the season went on everything really fell into place. The players came together as a team and battled it out until the final whistle in every game. Our three seniors, Ashley Lamb, Savannah Moon, and Lindsey Matusak were the heart of the team and lead by example with their hard work."
