The Nolan Catholic Women’s Soccer Team is undefeated with a mark of 12-0 and have moved up in the National Rankings to #12 by ESPN. A total of 8 players have double digits in points which shows the depth this Lady Viking team has this year. Senior captains, Mallory Baum (9 goals/8 assists/26 points) and Morgan Ulliman (11 goals/4 assists/26 points) and junior Emily Grider (7 goals/6 assists/20 points) lead the Lady Vikings with at least 20 points in 12 games. The backline of Chelsea Heiman, Sam Henggeler, Emily Baker, and Kaytee O’Brien rounded out by goalkeeper, McKenzie Sauerwein have only given up 2 goals on the season.
The Lady Vikings need only 1 point to clinch the district championship and they have 2 district games left to play. Their schedule doesn’t get any easier through the brutal month of January. They start out by hosting one of the nation’s premier showcase events, the 2009 Red Bull Nolan Showcase taking on nationally ranked Southlake Carroll (#19) and McKinney Boyd (#47). Other nationally ranked teams the Lady Vikings will come across are #3 Marcus and #4 Plano West.
