In the same week that we finished the boys season, we began the girls season. Looking forward to another strong season with them, with 5 new team members!

The boys soccer program had an outstanding year at all 3 levels with a combined program record of 39-14-4. The varsity team had a season for the record books. They posted an incredible record of 17-7, which is the 6th best record in school history. They also scored 73 goals on the season, which is the second most in school history. Their dedication and hardwork earned them 11 shutouts on the season, an 11 game win streak, and third place in the very competitive Red Pool Conference. In the postseason, the varsity team defeated Pacific 8-1 and #3 ranked Webster Groves 1-0 on their way to the district championship game vs. #2 ranked Vianney. Even though their season ended in a 3-1 loss, their success and accomplishments are etched in history!
