Teams making the playoffs usually find nothing but tougher and tougher teams, as it should be. Soccer is certainly no different. Goals are scarce enough as it is but even more so in the playoffs. Many of the teams own undefeated seasons. Last week the Lady Tigers confronted undefeated Harlingen which ended up 1-1 and penalty kicks. Brooke Greenville scored the lone goal assisted by Juanita Diaz Fajardo. The 4-3 edge in PKs was gained by Carson Thompson, Shae Sisson, Emerson Barefoot and Bailey Stephenson.
This brought it to the regional finals with Vandegrift. The Lady Vipers would tie the game at one with 23 seconds left. After two scoreless OT's, the Lady Tigers moved on to state semis with undefeated Kingwood, by a 6-5 margin in PKs. This time Fajardo got the lone goal, assisted by Stephenson. PKs: Greenville, Thompson, Ella Castillo, Stephenson, Annabelle Pittman, Barefoot. Pittman's save on Vandegrift's final PK try for the win earned her player of the game.
The Lady Tigers push for another state championship was stopped at the semi level when undefeated Kingwood eked out a single goal and made it stand up. DS ended their season 20-2-4.
