The Ballard High School girls soccer team opened its 2009 season with a 2-0 non-
conference win against West Seattle High School Sept. 8.

The Beavers scored in the first five minutes of the game, which is one of the team's goals, coach Val Seid said.

"Hopefully it will set the tone for what type of team we will be this season," he said.

The Beaver goals were scored by Jordan Travis and Cassie Winters, and freshman Kat Anaseni tallied an assist.

Seid said Anaseni could be one of the top freshmen in the league.

"I think she'll have a huge impact on this team and on the league," he said.

Ballard plays five more non-conference matches, including their next against Mercer Island at 7:30 p.m. on Sept.10 at Ingraham High School, before opening conference play against Redmond High School Sept. 22.
