When the George Mason Girls Soccer team began their unprecedented streak of Virginia State Championships forward Ava Roth was a 5th grader at Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School. Now a junior, Ava kept the record going scoring both Mustang goals, including one from behind her back, in Mason's 2-1 title victory over Maggie Walker Governor's School. Great offense, greater defense, great team.
