Good night with good people; LVS16 Banquet

A week ago the Lady Vikings Soccer Program celebrated another successful season of LVS.  Tons of wins, goals, laughs, memories, sweat, etc.  There was success on and off the field.  It all started when the Lady Vikings held their annual LVS Team Camp in July and then headed off to Possum Kingdom Lake for a Team Retreat before the school year even began.  Off-season started a week into school with a bright and early crack of dawn training session and from that point forward the tone was set.

The bar was set high and everyone was #ALLin.

Joe Ts was the stage for the Welcome Back Luncheon as well as the end of the year banquet.  Almost 100 people filled the room last Sunday night in support and celebrate of a job well done by these LVSers.  The players arrived to what it seamed like paparazzi and posed for pictures before the evening invocation delivered by junior, midfielder Kate Klesier.  Dinner was served and the program began.

The JV team played the toughest schedule in the history of the program with 8 of the games decided by 1 goal.  You know the game of soccer... if one moment, one ball, one touch goes a different way then another double digit win season was in the books.  They fought back to another TAPPS JV Post Season Tournament and in that semi final game again ONE moment goes differently, the championship game is the final game of the season once again.  

The varsity won 20 games with 12 of those by way of a shutout.  In scoring 96 goals, the varsity won the Duncanville Kick Off Classic, were crowned TAPPS Area and Regional Champions, and made their 28^th trip to the TAPPS State Final Four which is more than any other team in the history of TAPPS. 

This is one of the most consistent programs in the history of high school soccer closing in on 800 wins averaging almost 17 wins a year.  

The JV Awards were handed out on the evening with Lauren betting getting Player of the Year.  Defender of the Year goes to Hailey Hunt.  The Utility Player of the Year is Sophie Bailey with Co-Most Improved Players going to Lyssa Cedeno and Wesley Feemster.  Deborah Cottrell gets the Bleed Blue Award.

The varsity awards will be handed out at the All-Sports Banquet on May 13th.

The evening was capped off with a 77 minute feature presentation of the 2015-2016 season, starting with 320 hours of footage during the year.  A lot of memories stuffed into 77 minutes.  ALLin is a Be An Athlete® production presented by JATO Media.

"A lot of good people in the room tonight that deserve the credit in the success of this program," said head coach Jay Fitzgerald.

LVS Off-Season Underway

The Lady Vikings Soccer Program takes to the field after another successful season of 20 wins as off-season will continue after Spring Break.

LVSers went their separate ways during this Spring Break.  See where they went.

The upcoming week is Easter Week and the Lady Vikings will have a short week of training in preparation for LVS17.

With very high expectations, preparation never stops.

On Sunday, April 24th the program will play dress up, get together and celebrate the 2016 season at the Annual LVS Banquet.

LVS going to State for a record 28th time; Wednesday Night Match 7pm

The Nolan Catholic Women's Soccer Program captures their 28th TAPPS Regional Championship today with their 3-0 shutout over Incarnate Word San Antonio.  With that said, the Lady Vikings qualify for the TAPPS State Final Four more times than any team in the history of TAPPS.

Hannah Allred and Kate Kleiser combined for the 3 goals today and sophomore, goalkeeper Sarah Becan gets her 9th shutout on the year.  The Lady Vikings improve to 20-10-2 and move one step closer to capturing their 5th TAPPS State Title.

With a 1-0 halftime lead, the Lady Vikings continued to add waves of attack outshooting the Incarnate Word side 16-3 on the day doubling the lead in the 54th minute as Allred scored her second goal of the match.  

Later in the second half of play, Klesier pushed forward and got tripped up on her way to goal and was awarded a penalty shot which she proceeded to make good on for her 7th goal of the season.

LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald commented, "Another solid effort from our group; we just don't stop, we have done a nice job with our patience yet again and every single kid on this team is contributing."

This team is as balanced a team as they come.  Sixteen out of the 19 players on the roster have played in close to 30 games this season and with 20 wins on the season they look for just 2 more.

The TAPPS State Final Four starts next Wednesday against Bishop Lynch.  Both State games will be played at John Paul II High School.  Ursuline and TCA will play at 5:00pm and Nolan and Lynch will follow at 7:00pm.  The championship match will be played on Saturday, Feb. 27th at  the Wheatley Heights Sports Complex in San Antonio at 6:00pm.

LVS Claims TAPPS Area Championship; Next round Saturday

TAPPS 1-5A third place battled 3-5A third place tonight at Allen Academy in Bryan, Texas.  The Lady Vikings scored 5 unanswered goals to advance in the TAPPS Post-Season.

All eyes are on Saturday, February 28th in San Antonio, the sight of the 2016 TAPPS State Championship.  With 5 goals on the night, Nolan Catholic got closer to that date.

Beaumont Kelly came into tonights match with an impressive 14-9-5 overall record and were able to hold the Lady Vikings scoreless in the first half of play.

Actually, it wasn't until the 65th minute when the Lady Vikings got on the board as Katee Kimmey side-footed a Mikaela Gamboa cross into the far post.  That goal proved to be the only goal needed to improve Nolan Catholic to 19-10-2 on the year and also Kimmey's third game-winning goal of the season.

Eight minutes later, Gamboa got a goal of her own off an assist from Hannah Allred.  Allred then had the next 2 helpers to Megan Bettinger and Kate Kleiser.

Bettinger connected for the 18th time this season.

Selena Guzman put the icing on the cake with her 6th goal of the year as Klesier fed her the ball in the 78th minute.  Klesier has an impressive 15 assists so far this year.

The first half left to little surprise as the Lady Vikings maintained a consistent attack for the opening half of play getting a goal called back and having a penalty kick saved.

LVS head coach, Jay Fitzgerald said, "We have a lot of young players on this team that were getting their first action in the post season and it took us a while to get our feet under us.  I was impressed with the way we came out and the way we kept the foot on the pedal.  We stayed patient the entire game, the game opened up, and we capitalized."

Next up for the Lady Vikings is Incarnate Word San Antonio this coming Saturday at Waco ISD.  The kick off is set for 12:00pm.

This match will determine the TAPPS Regional Champion and the winner earns a spot at State in the Final Four which will take place in San Antonio the following weekend.
