The Ringgold girls soccer team celebrated senior night with a 4-1 victory over visiting Albert Gallatin in Section 2-3A play Thursday at Joe Montana Stadium.

Four members of the Class of 2021 were honored before the game and one of those seniors had herself a performance to remember.
Faith Bodnar scored two first-half goals and just missed out on a third for Ringgold (3-3, 3-3). Both Bodnar tallies were set up by sophomore Katelyn Ferrence who had a goal of her own as well.

“Every win is important to me, it affects how we move as a team, how we work as a team and how we are off the field as well as on it,” Bodnar said. “The win tonight just gets us one step closer to the playoffs.”

Bodnar and her teammates played a good game, but, according to her, not good enough. Ringgold coach Olivia Wilkerson agreed.

“We really connected as a team, there were a few breakdowns,” Bodnar said. “We’ll fix it. There’s always room for improvement and we know what we need to do.”

“Like Bodnar said, we had some breakdowns but we fixed them,” Wilkerson said. “We came out on top. This team just has a way about them, it might take a conversation but they bounce back and figure it out.”
