Hunting for Excellence: Southlake Carroll Lady Dragon Soccer
After dropping only one game last season, the Lady Dragons are back in action and ready to get the job done this season. As Southlake Carroll gets on track to secure a strong season on the pitch, VYPE DFW takes a look at the squad and what's ahead:
Rewind
Last season, the Lady Dragons dominated on the field as they posted victory after victory from the start of the season. Outscoring their opponents 171-8 in the regular season, the team posted incredible victories over Coronado, Dripping Springs, Brandeis, Lake Travis, Keller, Byron Nelson, and more en route to the playoffs. Through the playoffs, the team sent home Weatherford (10-0), San Angelo Central (4-0), Permian (2-0), and McKinney Boyd (3-1), before falling to Flower Mound Marcus (1-0). Ourscoring their oppoents by a total of 180 goals on the season, the Lady Dragons had everything to be proud of as they entered their offseason preparations.
This Season So Far
Opening their season with a 10-0 shut-out victory over Cleburne followed by a 6-0 shut-out victory over Aledo, the team has made their presence known again. Recording several impressive victories through non-district play (like a 10-1 victory over Burleson, a 14-0 victory over Weiss, and more) the team has started their season with a 7-0 overall record-- six of those victories being shut-outs.
As the team prepares for their upcoming district schedule, fans can expect this fast-paced offense to continue strong against their opponents. Geared up for greatness, this team is impressive and won't slow down as they pave their path toward the playoffs again this season. Opening district play against Timber Creek on Wednesday, the Lady Dragons are looking ahead toward another dominant year. Be sure you catch this squad in action!
Southlake Carroll Lady Dragons won't go down without a fight
A UIL state championship followed by a halted season due to a global pandemic: Southlake Carroll girls soccer is looking to make up for lost time as they fight through their district schedule.
"We've been training a lot, wearing our masks, and social distancing as much as we can. When we aren't training, we're team building," said senior Morgan Quillen in an interview with VYPE DFW earlier this season.
After the interrupted season, the Lady Dragons have been working hard to get back on track this season. Currently ranked in the fifth slot in their district, the Lady Dragons are showing that they aren't willing to go out without a fight. "Our goal this year is to get through the season and get through as many games as we can. It's very unpredictable right now," said junior Hanna Khan.
As an already great program, it's easy to remember the highest moments and want to strive for that feeling again. "[It was] totally surreal. It was one of the most important moments of my life and I'm hoping to do the same thing this year," senior Gabby Jamall said remembering the state championship just two seasons ago.
The Lady Dragons are 5-4-4 this season and 1-2-1 in district play. They still have quite a few games to go. Their next one is Friday at home against Timber Creek at 7:00 pm.
