MARYLAND HEIGHTS • There was no freshman initiation for McCluer North sniper Skyla Koch.
No extra chores for the newcomer.
"She immediately fit right in and was one of us," senior forward Maggie McGrellis explained.
Koch is simply too good to have to undergo the usual freshman-style pranks.
The lightning-quick forward continued her blistering start to the season with a pair of goals Friday to lead the Stars to a 2-1 win over De Soto in the Parkway College Showcase at Lou Fusz Soccer Complex.
Koch, who has 12 of the Stars' 18 goals this year, scored with 4 minutes and 3 seconds left in regulation to break a 1-1 tie.
