Cyclones Girls Soccer Has Improvements to Make After 1-1 Start

(Harlan, IA) — The Harlan Girls Soccer team is 1-1 and tonight they’ll visit Carrol for their third match in the last 4 days.  The Cyclones beat Panorama 4-3 on Monday with Aubrey Schweiso leading the way with a hat trick.  The next night though the Treynor defense shut down the Harlan attack in a 3-0 shutout.  Schwieso had 18 goals a year ago as a junior and Carly Torneten who is now a junior had 10 goals last year.  They looked good in the first game says Cyclones Head Coach Jared Boysen starting with Schwieso

Boysen says those scoring opportunities did not come against Treynor and he says they have to improve their defense after allowing 6 goals in the first two games but he does have confidence in their goaltender Grace Albertsen

Junior Lily Schechinger will lead the defense as the stopper with Junior Lauren Schmitz on the outside.  Midfielders include Senior Ivy Stephens who was hurt last season.  Senior Kassie Anderson will be on a wing and Freshman Abbie Anderson is a promising newcomer who scored her first varsity goal against Panorama.  Harlan has 10 or more victories the last three seasons and in order to make it four, Boysen says they just simply need to play their game

Harlan plays Carroll tonight who they’ve beaten all three times they’ve played — its the season opener for the Tigers.
