2018 Sierra Vista Girls Soccer Capsule

SIERRA VISTA

League: Class 4A Desert

Head coach: Ross Muir, seventh season

2017 record: 8-8-2 (6-5-1 Southwest/third)

Returning letter winners (starters): Twelve (seven)

Top athletes: MF Jasmine Trinidad (Jr.), D Emma Zeigler (Sr.), GK Jamie Kalaau-Sunia (Sr.), D Isabella Costa (Jr.)

Outlook: The Mountain Lions bring back seven starters, but lost a talented senior class.

Zeigler (3 goals), Costa (2 goals, 1 assist), Trinidad (1 goal, 3 assists) and Kalaau-Sunia (4.5 shutouts) will be among those who are asked to contribute.

“After the loss of some exceptional seniors, our developing underclassmen have big shoes to fill,” Muir said. “We are leaning on the returners to maintain the hard-working mentality that got them to playoffs last year.

“The new players on the team have shown great potential and dedication to go along with their youth. The experience of the returners should mix well with the new players, and we are hopeful to continue that success.”
