The Academy varsity soccer team had Senior Night, celebrating six senior soccer players.

The match was held at Kapiolani Park on Jan. 19. where the team scored a double-digit victory over St. Francis School.

Senior Kahea Ah Sam said, “We were so happy for the win and my experience with Senior Night was definitely one to remember because of the support from my family and friends. I realized how much soccer has affected my life throughout the years and how it has helped me to make lasting friendships.”

Seniors have been looking forward to their senior game and are grateful for the support from schoolmates and family members.

Senior Nia Fernandez said, “I’ve been playing soccer since I was five years old, and I’ve been waiting my whole high school soccer career for senior night, but now that it’s over, I realize I’m going to miss high school soccer and all of its memories. Senior Night was definitely memorable because it was one of our last games that we might ever play in our soccer careers.”
