Girls Soccer: Leesburg's Kitty Foster Named Foxcroft's Player of the Week

Middleburg (Apr. 5, 2011) - Girls soccer junior midfielder Kitty Foster, whose goal with just over three minutes left last Thursday snatched a victory away from Quantico High, was named Foxcroft School’s Player of the Week for the period from March 27-April 4, Athletic Director Michelle Woodruff announced Monday.

Quantico was only minutes away from a 1-0 win when Foster slammed a hard left-footed kick from inside the 18-yard line that scooted the ball past the Warriors’ goalie before she had time to react. Neither team managed to score in two overtime sessions, giving Foxcroft a 1-1 tie with its Delaney Athletic Conference rival in its season opener.

Foster, a junior who transferred Foxcroft from Loudoun County High last fall, is just returning to sports after a torn Achilles tendon sidelined her for several months. A talented distance runner, she was forced to miss the fall cross country season because of the injury. She made her sports debut for Foxcroft in February when she helped the Hound Team to a Big Game victory in the annual Fox/Hound basketball competition.

Foster is the daughter of Kitty Foster of Leesburg and Dr. Gavin Foster of Hamilton, VA.
