GIRLS SOCCER
Salem High striker Jasmine Bryant began her senior season in top form last night at Bertram Field, notching a pair of goals as the Witches knotted up Gloucester 2-2.
The co-captain opened the scoring just 90 seconds into the game when she won a ball up the left side, made a move to the net and finished. Bryant later gave Salem a 2-1 lead, but Gloucester evened the score early in the second half.
"Both teams had chances but the defense was good," said Salem coach Fred Day. "I thought out defense was outstanding, especially the senior leadership from Lauren Schaejbe and Jackie Rocheville."
Day also singled out defenders Jessica King as well as Leslie Baez, Desiree Deleon and Holbrook Phelan. Gloucester's two goals came from Clare Pleuler, who buried a pair of free kicks.
