Alton High Head Girls Soccer Coach Gwen Sabo-Howland said the Redbirds started off sluggishly, giving up a goal in the first five minutes of the game. But the Redbirds roared back and made it 2-1 in the next 5 minutes.

"We had some good looks offensively," today said Coach Sabo-Howland. "Hopefully we can take that momentum into next week when we open conference play."

Alton's girls travel to Southwestern for a 5 p.m. match on Tuesday, then return home for a 6:45 p.m. Southwestern Conference opener on Thursday against Belleville West, then host O'Fallon in another SWC confrontation at 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, March 29.
