Kentridge<\/a> girls soccer team is on a roll with a new head coach and a season goal to make the postseason fun.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nCoach Sherri Rolfs left the Kentwood soccer program to take over the head job at Kentridge.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a very strong group of girls and have high expectations for them,\u201d Rolfs wrote in a email. \u201cThey just need to believe they can win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The coach said the team has played well beating Auburn Riverside Tuesday 1-0.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Chargers are in fourth place with a 3-2-1 record. Its two losses were to Tahoma and Kentwood, both of which were undefeated through play on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Rolfs said Jena Flewelling, the goalie for the Chargers, brings both skill and \u201ca wealth of experience\u201d to the team along with Shyann Glasser and Mkenaa Hayes in the midfield.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Chargers defense may be the key this season which features Jessica Hendricks, Porsche Jennings, Abby Klinkenberg and Kaitlyn Wagner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Abby Klinkenberg\u2019s twin sister Lexi is also on the squad.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A freshman, Hunter Mar, cracked the starting squad and she joins her sister Haeley Mar on the team.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Katie Pennington scored the winning goal over Auburn Riverside Tuesday at 71 minutes and Flewelling earned the shutout.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kentridge will host Auburn Saturday at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
