Women’s soccer team falls

Coming off two consecutive seasons in which the women’s varsity soccer team failed to advance out of Sectional, this year’s team entered the tournament bound and determined to “take back the ship.”
The team was ranked Number-1 for most of the season, finishing undefeated in the MIC. The Hounds broke their tournament slump with a 2-1 win over Noblesville on Oct. 13 to clinch the Sectional championship, and then traveled to Zionsville to snatch a Regional victory. The team’s State journey ended prematurely with a 1-0 loss to Brownsburg at Semistate.
Lexi Tryba, varsity soccer player and senior, said she thought the team accomplished a lot. “I think next year’s team will know what it takes to be successful. I look forward to seeing the younger players step up and have the opportunity to lead, and I expect great things from next year’s team.”
Head Coach Frank Dixon said the team exceeded his expectations through the year. “As a coach, I judge each year’s team not by its final record but by its ability to become better over the course of the season. This group of girls continued to improve each day. I believe they became the best team in Indiana over the last few months, but as the saying goes, the best team doesn’t always win,” he said. “Next year’s senior leaders will have very big shoes to fill.”
