Housy girls poised for winning season

FALLS VILLAGE — With 11 days remaining until Region One schools begin the academic year, it’s time to look ahead to the upcoming fall sports season. Our first look: the 2015 Housatonic Valley Regional High School girls soccer team.

The Housy girls completed their most successful season in program history in 2014, advancing to the final of the Class S CIAC tournament before falling to Portland 2-1 in double overtime. They finished the regular season with a 13-3 record, good for second place in the Berkshire League.

The 2015 season has the potential to be just as successful, as Housy returns all but four players from the 2014 team, including the school’s all-time leading scorer Lauren Segalla, juniors Chloe Dakers and Amanda Jacquier, and sophomores Emily Geyselears and standout goaltender Molly Dowd.

At the end of last season, Head Coach Tess Segalla was optimistic about the team’s future, indicating that although the team had things to work on, they just need to continue to build on the success from the 2014 season. 

“We just need to keep doing what we’ve been doing, that’s it,” Segalla said in a post season interview with The Lakeville Journal.

Practices for the upcoming season begin on Thursday, Aug. 27. Athletes should arrive by 2:30 p.m. with practices beginning at 3:30 p.m. All participants must be registered by Aug. 26 in order to practice on the first day.

The first regular season game will be held on Friday, Sept. 11.
