Girls soccer: June 2008 Archives

This slide show has nearly five minutes of Waubonsie Valley state championship girls soccer photography for your viewing pleasure. There are some funny voice bubbles added in too.

The National Soccer Coaches Association of America just released its final high school girls soccer poll for the spring. And two-time state champion Waubonsie Valley failed to repeat as national champions.

The Warriors are ranked No. 2, behind Parkview of Lilborn, Ga. Last season after Waubonsie won its first Class AA state title, the Warriors were rewarded with a No. 1 ranking by the coaches.

This year the Warriors, who started the season at No. 1, slipped down to No. 11 after a tie with Lincoln-Way Central and were never able to reclaim their top spot.

But take heart Waubonsie fans. StudentSportsSoccer.com continues to feel your Warriors are deserving of the top billing in its poll.


The excitement from this year's Class AA state title probably won't wear off for a while. But people are already asking: How many more titles can Waubonsie Valley win?

The Warriors enter next season with their 58-game unbeaten streak intact. All but three players from the team that just went 26-0-1 will return, including coaches all-state picks Bri Rodriguez and Vanessa DiBernardo. Rodriguez, who tore the ACL in her left knee in the quarterfinals, should be back to full strength long before the season starts.

It's not a stretch to say the Warriors should add to their trophy case next spring.
