Archer Athletics has signed a new multi-year partnership that will celebrate Archer girls' strength and desire for greatness. As part of BSN Sports' Women of Will campaign, Archer athletes will soon train and compete in Under Armour uniforms with the Women of Will branding. "This program is an extension of the celebration of our female athletes as they work toward their goals and achieve excellence. Not only are we championing our athletes, but through Women of Will we are connected to a community of female athletes who are rising to the challenges that athletics provides," Athletic Director Kim Smith said.

Soccer Concludes its Season 
The soccer team had an unprecedented playoff run in a higher CIF Division 5 this season. In the first round, they defeated Louisville High School 3-0 with a hat trick by freshman Rose C. '23 and assists by Stella K. '20, and Alyssa P. '23

In the second round of CIF playoffs, the Varsity squad traveled to Hemet to play the Tahquitz Titans, a school of 1600. The only lights in the city were at Titan Stadium, the only smells from the neighboring dairy farm, and the sounds of two teams battling it out on a striped green turf football field.
 
Senior Riley A. '20 scored the first goal from 30 yards out, followed by a goal by Ali A. '22 off the dribble. In the final minute, Senior Captain Sophie L. '20 played a ball through to Freshman Rose C. '23 who beat both defenders and keeper with a shot to the far post.
 
In the Quarterfinal round, Varsity Soccer traveled to Rowland High, a school of 2,500 students, and took the team to double overtime with a score of 0-0. The team lost in penalty kicks 2-4, though it felt like a win because of their extraordinary play and efforts.
