On April 21, the girls played in the annual BA Bash soccer tournament at home. After winning this tournament two years in a row, BA would be looking for a three-peat, but there were four new schools in the tournament this year who are better than any of the other schools that have been in the tournament before.

In the first game against South Milwaukee, the three Blue Knight captains came up big exactly when they were needed. After being down 1-0 at halftime, Collins scored from a Pesch assist to tie the game, and Ana Bayerlein made an unbelievable save with one minute left to secure a 1-1 draw. The second game was a convincing 2-0 victory over a Winnebago team that only lost one game last year and only one so far this year. All BA defenders played amazing and were well organized by Ally Anderson. Pesch scored both goals to bring her BA total to 100! Congratulations to Pesch for this massive accomplishment!

BA made the championship game based on having the most points in its group. After giving up an early 0-1 lead to Mauston, the girls battled through their exhaustion, scoring three goals to win a third consecutive BA Bash championship. Pesch scored twice more and Collins added the third while senior Jenny Giera played a great game in defense. The freshman and sophomores looked great throughout the tournament as they have made tremendous improvements in the past week.
