Monroe opens with road win at Stanwood

Published 9:00 pm Tuesday, September 7, 2004

STANWOOD – It was only the first game of the season, but Monroe girls soccer coach Kathleen Potthast said she couldn’t be happier with how her Bearcats kicked off 2004.

Could you blame her?

Junior Chelsey Bumbaugh and sophomore Keena Hopkins had two goals apiece in the first half and Monroe went on to defeat Stanwood 5-0 in a season-opening Western Conference, North Division game.

“We played away, and that’s always tough” Potthast said. “Our team just played a lot of good finesse passing game. Hopefully, they can both keep that up throughout the season.”
