First-team all-state forward Audrey Bryant (Sr./Texas-commit) spearheads the offense, supported by second-team selections Laila Nieto (Sr. MF), Makenzie Majors (Jr. F/TCU-commit), and junior playmaker Lily Marquez.
On defense, second-team honoree Ellie Teachout (Sr. D) and standout junior Ryan Fogel have helped limit opponents to just 12 goals all season.
With both teams showcasing dominance throughout the winter, this championship matchup promises to be a thrilling showdown.
Will Ursuline cement its dynasty with a third straight title, or will St. Agnes play spoiler and reclaim the crown? The answer awaits Wednesday morning at 9:30 AM at the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex.
