Congratulations to Junior, Jill Rekart for earning this weeks Eagle of the week honors. Reks had an outstanding game against Bryant this past weekend. She was huge presences on the defensive end, collecting 5 ground balls, causing 5 turnovers and gaining 2 draw control possession. Furthermore, the defense was able to hold Bryant to less than 5 goals, in large part due to Rekart’s defensive leadership. In addition, she showed her offensive skills by scoring 2 goals and adding 1 assist. Rekart has shown tremendous work ethic and leadership throughout this week and throughout preseason. Her hard work in practice has translated to her play on the field. There is no doubt that Rekart will be a true threat on both ends of the ball this coming season! Congratulations to Jill and her Gold Team!
