2017 Tech Girls Soccer Capsule
TECH
League: Class 3A Sunrise
Head coach: Josh Jones, 17th season
2016 record: 14-5-3 (9-0-1 Sunrise, first)
Returning letter winners (starters): Thirteen (nine)
Top athletes: MF Valerie Webb (Sr.), D/MF Maria Galindo (Sr.), F Alysia Mestas (Jr.), MF Analysa Zepeda (Jr.), GK Chloe Dody (So.)
Outlook: The Roadrunners bring back nine starters from a team that advanced to the Class 3A state semifinals last year.
Dody (7 shutouts) and Galindo are back to guide the defense. The offensive firepower could come from Webb (9 goals, 9 assists), Mestas (8 goals, 5 assists) and Zepeda (3 goals, 3 assists).
“Tech returns a very solid group of girls who hope to continue their quest to advance in the playoffs,” Jones said. “If some of the veteran players and younger players can mesh together, they will be able to make another strong playoff run.”
