Mill Valley earns 6A title as KC-area schools sweep girls soccer championships: Scores
Mill Valley left little doubt in claiming its first girls soccer state championship.
Locked in a scoreless draw at halftime against Shawnee Mission East, the Jaguars scored three goals — by Delaney Reishus, Olivia Page and Julia Coacher — in the second half of the 6A state championship game.
Mill Valley capped its 18-2-1 season with a 3-0 win over the Lancers.
Shawnee Mission East, which reached the final after blitzing Manhattan 5-0 in the semifinal round, finished the year 18-3. Washburn Rural (15-5-1) won the third-place match 4-1 over Manhattan (12-6-2) Saturday at Wichita’s Stryker Complex.
Class 5A
At Hummer Sports Park Soccer Stadium in Topeka, it was St. Thomas Aquinas (18-2-1) capping off a remarkable season with a 2-0 state championship game victory over a Bishop Carroll team with one previous loss on the year.
St. Thomas Aquinas dominated from the 5A semifinal round on, winning 4-0 to end what was at the time a perfect season for Maize South to reach the championship game. Maize South (19-2-0) also fell to St. James Academy (18-3-0) in the third-place game.
St. James Academy had to settle for third after coming up just short in the semifinal against Bishop Carroll (19-2-0) — in a game that featured 120 scoreless minutes, four overtimes and seven rounds of penalty kicks.
Class 4-1A
KC-area schools made it three for three at the Kansas state tournaments, as Bishop Miege took down Wichita’s Trinity Academy 4-0 in the state championship game.
Miege (14-7-0) knocked out Hayden of Topeka 4-1 in the semifinal round before matching that offensive output in the final at De Soto High School Soccer Complex.
Trinity Academy (11-9-0) advanced over Baldwin on penalty kicks in reaching the championship game. Hayden (12-6-2) won 2-0 over Baldwin (14-6) in the third-place game.
