Girls soccer gets kick from ‘wicked left foot’
thesewardphoenixlog.com
She’s just a freshman, but Catie Zweifel is quickly establishing herself as
the future of the Seward girls soccer team.
Zweifel netted two goals in last week’s 3-0 victory over Skyview and added a
goal and an assist in a 2-2 draw with Nikiski a day later, allowing the
Seahawks to taste some success after a slow start to the season.
The sensational striker, who grew up playing club soccer in Eagle River, is
proving to have one of the most accurate shots on the Kenai Peninsula.
“She’s a fast player with a wicked left foot,” Seward coach Myla Liljemark
said. “Being fast, she finds herself beating the defenders in one-on-one
situations. She has great shot placement.”
Seward’s Kristina Atherton added a goal and an assist against Skyview and
goalkeeper Chelsey Clarke made 25 saves, including a penalty kick. It was
the second time in as many matches that Clarke stopped a PK, a situation
that favors the shooter eight times out of 10.
