On Tuesday, May 31st, the Dryden/ Imlay City girls soccer team competed in their semi-final district match at home against Goodrich. The girls played a magnificent game, everyone made a huge impact and contributed to the whole team’s effort. Unfortunately, Dryden/Imlay City’s girls soccer team lost the game 5-1 against Goodrich. Dryden/Imlay City’s single goal was scored by senior Jenna Peters. Goalie Ashley Hickmott made a total of nine saves throughout the game.

Great job, girls! Everyone did an extraordinary job this season, contributing to the team and also having amazing sportsmanship throughout the season. It is going to be exciting to see what next season has in store!
