The inaugural soccer season concluded after eight games with three wins and five losses. Ethan Kittle scored the first goal ever for Swift, leading the team to score a total of 25 goals against opponets during season play. Seventeen goals were scored against the Swift team.

Swift’s soccer team challenged opponents from McGinnis Woods School, Sophia Academy (Volleyball), The Cottage School, Cumberland Academy and Chrysalis Academy during this memorable season of play.

Regardless of the outcomes of these inter-scholastic competitions, the experience and feeling of team spirit will stay with the players, coaches, parents, family, school faculty and administrators for a long time.

The 2011 soccer team displayed a positive attitude throughout the practices and games. The team developed over the course of the season and improved at a steady pace and has definitely made significant strides. It is clear that there is a big difference in performance levels between the first and last games played. Coach Saylors worked diligently to develop the team. As a result of the team’s hard work and Coach Saylor’s dedication, Swift prevailed against Cumberland Acadamey in the final game 7- 0.

Cullen Moore and Owen Hodson were solid as the last line of defense, Hannah Lewey, Brandon Reid, Brian Gormley, Faith Owens, Alex Creed, Graham Wanamaker, Amanda Doran, Erek Karadeniz and Robert Reeves played back in defense and mid field, where they provided a steady supply of balls to the frontline fire power of Ronin Molina-Salas, Trevor Masse, Molly Brown and Ethan Kittle.

This has been without doubt, a very successful outcome for all involved. The coaches and administration are confident that as the school grows and the team develops, the Swift soccer program will flourish. We look forward to beginning next year with enthusiasm and building on the foundation established throughout the 2011 season.
