On Thursday, May 5th, the women’s varsity soccer team played John T. Hoggard High School. This is their second time playing Hoggard; the first match ended early in the second half due to a mercy rule. This time, the Trojans brought more energy and life to the game. The defense had a great game, staying solid all night, making it hard for Hoggard to score goals back to back. Every player was hustling and giving it their all on the field. By the second half, the score was 3-0 in Hoggard’s favor, not very good for the Trojans, but significantly better than their last match. This game was Hoggard’s senior night, so during halftime, all of their seniors did their walk. During the second half, the Trojans still weren’t giving up, they stayed tough a focused with everyone doing their job. With only three more goals scored in the second half, the game ended in a 6-0 victory for Hoggard. While it was a tough match for the Trojans, they fought hard and gave it their all.

During her school’s off-season, she plays for a travel team in Wilmington–she has been with them for seven years.

Some of her favorite artists are Megan Moroney, Taylor Swift, and Chris Stapleton. Her favorite books are anything romantic. She loves watching movies, her favorite film of all time is “Mamma Mia.” Outside of soccer, Jones enjoys shopping and hanging out with her friends. “I’ve already spent all of the money I made this summer,” said Jones. “ I am a very impulsive buyer, it’s so easy now with Apple Pay.” Jones plans on attending a 4-year university in North Carolina, hopefully continuing her soccer career.
