The 1-0 loss demonstrated a step up from a 7-0 loss earlier this season. Last week’s games gave Warner encouragement heading into districts, calling it, “a great way to end the season.”
“It allowed them to see what they can all bring to the table as a team,” Warner said. “I am excited for our district game.”
In Coral Shores’ visit to Key West, Kimmy Dubon scored the team’s final regular season goal in the 3-1 loss. A match scheduled for later in the week against Keys Gate resulted in a win via forfeit, putting the Hurricanes at 4-6-2 with districts beginning this week.
