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.

LVS Congratulates their Sister Team from California, San Clemente
LVS has developed a special bond with the San Clemente Women's Soccer Team from California. We want to wish our sister team, the Lady Tritons, a special congratulations on advancing to the CIF SS Division 1 post-season playoffs as the #1 seed. San Clemente will take on Orange Lutheran High School in the first round on Thursday.San Clemente traveled to Fort Worth in January to compete in the Nolan Showcase Presented by JATO and went undefeated with wins over #19 Southlake Carroll, #6 St. Thomas Aquinas (FL State Champion), and Dallas Ursuline Academy.
The Lady Vikings showed the Tritons a night of Texas hospitality at the Fort Worth Stockyards. The teams feasted at Coopers BBQ and then danced the night away at the World's Largest Honky Tonk, Billy Bob's of Texas. Ending the night mixing it up with as many flavors and toppings as their little heart desired at Menchie’s. Good times in Fort Worth.
As San Clemente advances to CIF post-season play, so has the Lady Vikings. They travelled to Houston to defeat St. Agnes and gain their 11th straight Regional Championship. With the win, the Lady Vikings have advanced to the TAPPS Women's Soccer Final Four in San Antonio which kicks off on Friday. Good luck to both teams and here is to athletics bringing new friendships together.

LVS Crowned Regional Champions; Perez gets First
Eleven years and counting, the Lady Vikings take the Regional Championship back to Fort Worth and advance to the TAPPS Women's Soccer Final Four next Friday in San Antonio.
One goal was all it took for Nolan Catholic and that goal was the first of the season for junior, Alex Perez. It came in the 61st minute. Perez took a perfectly placed cross from senior, Sara Chandlee and flicked it over the Lady Tigers goalkeeper.
"We have necessarily been opportunistic and have underachieved for most of the year but not today," said Lady Vikings head coach Jay Fitzgerald, "It is the playoffs and we are a different team."
Another road win for the Lady Vikings brings them one step closer to a State Championship. Seven out of the 10 wins for Nolan Catholic have come on the away from home.
Experience and emotion are huge this time of year and the Nolan Catholic Women's Soccer Team have been here and that competitive edge got them to another Final Four.
The Lady Vikings will take on John Paul on Friday at 11:00am at San Antonio's Heros Stadium for a chance to play in the State Championship match the following day at 12:00pm.
