With Injuries keeping three expected starters on the sidelines, Waubonsie Valley showed once again how much depth the girls soccer program has in its season-opening victory at Wheaton North on Monday.
Freshmen Shannon Donelson and Tina Tomaras started and a handful of other newcomers saw action in the game for the Warriors, who are ranked No. 1 in the nation in two polls.
"It felt we had good chemistry, which is good with all the new girls on the team," senior Catherine McClellan said. "It's good for them because they get that first game under their belts and then they can start to feel better about playing. I'm sure they were probably a little nervous at first."
Waubonsie, which extended its unbeaten streak to 59 games (57-0-2), played without senior Bri Rodriguez, and sophomores Hannah Klancic and Jessica Price.
Donelson made her presence known early, stopping a Falcons shot at the goal line to save a goal in the sixth minute.
