Guadalupe Quiroz is starting over – sort of.

The junior midfielder is in her first year at Grand Street Campus. She transferred to her hometown school in Bushwick after she was asked to leave Christ the King because of disciplinary issues. She also said her parents were no longer going to be able to pay her tuition because of the cost of her 12-year-old brother Itzy playing soccer with the prestigious New York Hota club program.

“I got so attached to my girls and my teammates,” Quiroz said.

Lucky for her she was going to a familiar place with familiar people, where she is putting the past behind her. Her mother and father both attended Grand Street and she already knew Wolves teammates Lizzette Cuautle, Ani Andara and others from the neighborhood or her Gotham Girls travel team. Grand Street coach Andre Lumey also knew her since she was younger.

“She has definitely adjusted really well,” Lumey said. “The team really looked to her to be the leader. Being that she is one of the more experienced players they really lean on her leadership.”

He immediately told his team that it was going to be able to play at a higher level with her in the lineup. Christ the King coach John Fayad said Quiroz always brought toughness to the field. This season she has already contributed 20 goals and 17 assists. As a result of such production, Grand Street is 8-1-0 and tied for first place in PSAL Brooklyn A-VII.

“The team loves her, but the biggest thing to me is her ability, once she gets that break away, to be able to finish at the end,” Lumey said.

News of Quiroz’s arrival spread throughout the division. After a 1-0 loss to Brooklyn Tech last week, two Engineers players came over to her and asked if she was the girl from Christ the King and said they were told by others to look out for her. Quiroz is extremely skilled with the ball at her feet, an adept passer and has the strength to fend off defenders. But it’s her leadership skills that have been so invaluable.

“What these girls need is more push and more confidence,” Quiroz said. “It’s not just one player that makes a team. If we work together we can get far.”

New position fitting Fieldston softball star well: Kate Miller is used to directly impacting a game on the softball diamond. The Fieldston senior is an all-city caliber shortstop and third-place hitter for the Eagles during the spring. Softball commitments took her away more often that she would have liked from the school’s soccer team, where she was a defender last season.

“I’m really glad that I have been able to be at more games,” said Miller, who has yet to pick a college for fotball. “It really killed me last year when I had to be away for softball. I’m really glad I can be here for the team.”

She is on the field and producing in a bigger way than she has in the past. With a few key seniors choosing not to return, Miller has become a captain and the team’s workhorse at the center midfield spot. She had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win over Horace Mann on Wednesday.

“She is like our general on the field,” Fieldston assistant coach Jason Reynolds said. “She commands what needs to be done at the center of the field. It’s absolutely wonderful having her there.”

Petrides’ Roda showing versatility: Victoria Roda has been asked to do double duty by head coach Kim Caccese. The senior, arguably the city’s best sweeper, has been an offensively catalyst for a Petrides team that has struggled to find scoring punch after the graduation of Amanda Feldstein, who had 100 goals in four years. Roda has drawn plenty of attention when moved up to the midfield late in the games, which takes pressure off striker Katrina Wiesner.

“Normally when I move her up, teams will put one, two or three players on her so that they crowd her side,” Caccese said. “They are paying attention to the change and adjusting, but we do get a lot more opportunities when we move her up there. She creates a lot for us.”

Roda already has seven goals and four assists in nine games, the most points she’s had in a season since her freshman campaign when she had four goals and eight assists. She had Petrides’ lone tally in a 2-1 loss to New Dorp, had a goal in a 2-2 tie with Susan Wagner and had two goals and two assists to help beat Curtis 5-0.

“I think that shows her diversity,” Caccese said. … “I am relying on her and Katrina a lot. It seems that she is up for the task.”
