Looking to make her final year of soccer memorable, senior Sydney Gerber is excited for all the lasts as an Andover Central Jaguar.
“I have played with some of these girls for a very long time, so I’m excited for one final season together. I am also excited for team dinners and our lock in, I think team bonding is very essential to a successful season. I’m looking forward to continuing some of my pre game rituals like taking pickle shots,” Gerber said.
On the field, Gerber is a forward who has earned all-league honorable mention the last two years, and rightfully so, head coach Stephanie Garcia said.
“She is our endless runner. She is fast both on and off the ball, she always gives 100 percent and she creates many opportunities for us because of her effort. I can always count on her to be a team player and to never give up. She is self-motivated and is always looking to improve,” Garcia said.
Gerber is not just a skilled soccer player but she also spends her time in the fall playing volleyball. But that doesn’t stop her from having strong chemistry with her soccer teammates.
“I am an outside forward and think of my role as pushing the ball up the field to create goal scoring opportunities for myself as well as my teammates. I think my connection with the midfielders is a big factor in our success in the box,” Gerber said.
