The Westport girls' soccer team fell to powerhouse third-seeded Douglas 7-0 during a D-4 Round of 32 away game at Auburn High School on Monday night. The Wildcats finished their season with a record of 13-5-3 and say good bye to senior captains, goalkeeper Morgan Pacheco and Jaquie Jusseaume as well as forward Kaelyn Butter, center back Audrey Xavier and back fielder Avery Pereira.
"It was an unforgettable season," said Pacheco. "I made a lot of memories with the new girls and the existing team."
"Our new head coach Gus Arajuo and assistant Roger Cabral have brought so many positive aspects for us during our senior season," said Jusseaume. "I loved it for our senior season."
Sophomore striker, who scored twice during the Wildcats 2-1 double overtime preliminary playoff victory at O'Bryant High School, ended the season with 37 goals for the season and 119 for her career. The preliminary tournament win was also the first for Wildcats head coach Gus Araujo and assistant Roger Cabral.
"We had a great season," Coach Araujo said. "We took down the Mayflower League and we had the best goal differential and scored the most amount of goals in Division 4. We played well against the difficult teams in our division and for a young team, there were a lot of things to be proud of."
