SAPULPA, Okla. — Sapulpa senior center midfielder needs two goals to tie and three to break the Sapulpa High School career goal-scoring record currently held by her head coach and mom.
Sapulpa High School senior Sara Arundell is just two goals away from tying the school record for career goals. The record currently belongs to her head coach, Lori Arundell. Sara’s mother.
Lori set the record of 44 goals scored in a career in 1992. Sara has 42 goals with 13 games left in the regular season.
Sara goes for the record Tuesday, March 10 at home against the Chieftains’ Highway 97 rival, Sand Springs. If three goals in a game in order to break the record sounds like a lot, consider this. In the first two games this season, Sara has scored eight times – twice in the season-opening 7-0 win over Newcastle and six times in the Lady Chieftains 9-0 shutout of Putnam City.
When Sara breaks the record she will then own two records her mom previously held. Last season, she scored 20 goals to set the single-season scoring record. The record had previously been 16 in a season.
Sara has signed to play collegiately at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. on March 10 at Sapulpa’s Westside Sports Complex located at 1611 S. Wickham Road.
