The only forward that doesn’t play multiple positions is sophomore Monica Parra. She has been ineffective on the offensive end and has been pulled from games due to lack of in-game knowledge. Attempting to put goals on offense has been stressful for coach Stupar. Sophomore Danielle Skidmore, who played as a backup goalkeeper last year, was listed to play goalie this year. She didn’t get the starting goalkeeping spot and wanted to see some action in her final year.
So coach put two-and-two together and Whala!
Skidmore was moved to the winger position. She has been playing this position for over a month now. Depending on the opponents and the in-fame situations Stupar sees, decides on whether she starts or not and how much playing time she gets—either way it’s better than riding the bench.
Consistent players like Carla Hager, Melissa Heredia, Marisol Vite, and Courtney Meza continue to hold it down on the defensive end. Sophomore goalkeeper Breanna Dundes has been improving as of late—she has been taking lessons from last year’s sophomore goalkeeper Thannia Huerta. Huerta was the best goalie in the Foothill Conference last years allowing nine goals all year, while earning 2 shutouts.
There are only three games left in the season. Up next on its schedule are Desert, Victor Valley and Mt. San Jacinto. AVC defeated Mt. San Jacinto earlier this year, and loss to Victor Valley earlier this year. AVC plays at Desert Tomorrow at 3 p.m. Desert was shutout 2-0 in a loss in early October.
