With 17 wins this so far this season, the Orcutt Academy High School girls’ soccer team is having a record-breaking year. Much of that success is thanks to student Taylor Martinez, the team’s unstoppable junior forward.
In recent games against Dunn High School and Templeton, a team that was previously undefeated, Martinez scored the only goals of the games, both of which led to wins for Orcutt.
Martinez has played varsity all three years of her high school career, according to head coach Brian Speer, and he credits many of the team’s wins to her consistent hard work.
“Taylor takes advantage of every minute she is on the field, and her work rate is off the charts,” Speer said. “I always encourage the other players to feed off her energy.”
