Prep roundup (continued from page 31) “They learned the game as freshmen,” Pepper said of her current senior class. “Every year they’ve gotten better. The key this season is the passing has gotten better. Once you have a passing game, it’s tough to beat.” Gunn deftly moved the ball up and down the field against Menlo, using its aggressive play to spark its comeback. Kosco finished with four goals while Abra- ham had two. Maggie Wynn, another one of Gunn’s 15 seniors, added a goal along with Wu. Senior goalie Kim Scheiman was solid, as were senior defenders Elissa Brown and Stefanie Monica. Pepper said the difference between last year’s second- place finish in league and runnerup spot in the league tournament (to Menlo) is just one more year of being together. The heart and dedication of seniors who have worked together for four years is tough to beat. “This year is another year of confidence, of working together,” said Pepper. Following the regular season, Gunn will participate in the league tournament. Semifinals are May 10 with finals set for May 15.

Keith Peters “Most likely, we’ll meet them (Menlo) in the finals,” Pepper said. The Gunn seniors wouldn’t have it any other way.
