LVS Earns Spot in Regional Championship

Multiple goals, a clean slate, and a road win, move the Lady Vikings one step closer to State. Senior, Forward Kayleen Negron gets the game-winner in the 5th minute and that is all the Lady Vikings needed to move on to the Regional Championship match on Saturday.

Junior, Forward Lindsey Murray added another goal half way through the first half for her 6th goal of the season.

"It is nice to see contribution from our forwards and players coming off the bench," commented head coach Jay Fitzgerald. Its shows the depth and versatility that the Nolan Catholic squad has. Of the 21 players on the team, 13 of them have scored a goal. "We are excited about our chances in the playoffs," Fitzgerald said, "We are playing with a chip on our shoulder."

The Lady Vikings held Austin St. Michael's to 3 shots the entire match and took 23 of their own. The field was not as expected; it was narrow and hard but the Lady Vikings dealt with the environment with a shutout win, on the road and in the playoffs.

The Nolan Women's Soccer team enjoys going on the road, as the majority of their wins have come away from home. Fitzgerald went on to say, "I look forward to taking my team away from home - it gives us a chance to show off our program. I am proud of these young ladies"

Well, Fitzgerald and his program will get to do that for the remainder of the season as they travel to Houston to take on St. Agnes on Saturday and with a win there, they advance to the Final Four the following weekend in San Antonio.
