Our AIMS Reporters were busy yesterday (Sept. 2), stopping by several Aquinas matches to capture the action! Here’s their coverage of girls’ futsal, football and water polo:
Girls Waterpolo

The AC girls water polo team battled St Cuthbert’s College yesterday (Sept. 2), and while they didn’t get the win, they had great defence and shooting.
“It was a great tournament against St Cuthbert’s. We are improving every single game and the team is getting better,” said Coaches Aidan Bollee and Taylor Svendsen.
Year 7 players Nina Philp and Mieka Sander said that the one thing the team needs to work on is “driving into space.”
