“I think we have the same amount of confidence we always have. We know that If we do what we do best we have a great opportunity of winning the game. It’s going to be hard game but we are super excited,” Goalie, Lauren Parker told Loveland Magazine. Parker holds the school record for consecutive shutouts.
Springboro holds a record of 16-1-2 win-loss-tie– only slightly below Loveland’s 17-1-0 record. Last year, Springboro overcame a 2-0 deficit in order to beat Loveland 3-2, ending Loveland’s season. Saturday’s game will, in essence, be a rematch of the 2016 regional final.
“Last year was a sad game but this year I think our edge is that we have a work ethic that is unmeasurable. No matter what, everyone is working for each other,” Parker finished.
