Marco Island Academy’s girls soccer team stands united before a game.

With winter sports now underway, the Marco Island Academy women’s soccer team will kick start their 2024-2025 season playing their first game this week. Our Lady Rays will battle the lions of First Baptist Academy this Thursday, November 7th, on MIA’s home field.

This season, the team will once again have the privilege to be piloted by head coach Jax Wantlin and senior captains Helen Totten and Mary Montgomery. The team, with a substantial wave of freshmen players, is working at connecting as a team, never having played all together, but is optimistic of an exciting, successful season ahead.

Senior captain Helen Totten explained, “We have a lot of new players and I think that we have a lot of new potential as a team. It might take us a few games to get into the rhythm but I’m confident that we are going to be a great team.“.

The team will continue their season later this week as they travel to Seacrest Country Day School on Friday, November 8th. Good luck Lady Rays!
