Team of the Week
Burlington High School girls soccer: For the first time in the Southern Lakes Conference, the BHS girls soccer team is looking at something huge – the possibility of an SLC title.
The reason? The Demons remained undefeated in the conference last week with a 2-1 win over Elkhorn – considered by many to be a favorite in the SLC.
Both of Burlington’s goals were scored by freshman Merin Mundt, but the Demons got a complete-team effort in the victory. Opposing coach Eryca Card credited BHS goalie Tanya Schilling with a tremendous effort in the game.
The Demons are now 6-0 in the Southern Lakes after beating Westosha 3-0 Tuesday night, are 10-3-1 overall and have scored 31 goals over those 15 games.
