Nolan Women Advance to State Championship

The Lady Vikings score early and that is all they needed in route to a 1-0 win over John Paul. Senior, Alex Rios scores off an assist from Emma Chandlee in the 2nd minute.

LSU commit, Paige Harris was flawless in goal, shutting out her third opponent in a row for a total of 10 on the year.

"We expected to be in the State Championship and these young ladies played like that," commented head coach Jay Fitzgerald, "they are a different team from the regular season and they belong here." The Lady Vikings defeated John Paul for the 2nd time this year, the last being on January 4th which was a milestone for the Nolan Catholic Women's Soccer team marking the programs 400th win since 1986.

The State Championship is nothing new for the Lady Vikings, as they have advanced to the final for the 11th straight year facing Ursuline in each of those years.

Ursuline defeated San Antonio Antonian 7-0 in the semi-final game. The State Championship is tomorrow at 12:00pm at Heros Stadium in San Antonio.
