2024 Bob Durig Mo-Kan Final

Game 4: (4-0-0)
27 March vs. BV Northwest for the Title (3-0)






We had an All-EKL Final as Northwest posted shutouts over both Sion and St. Teresa. The Saints also nabbed a couple of shutout wins, but we put 13 goals in the net to the Huskies' 3.

The Huskies came out strong, but if you discount the first ten minutes or so of this match, the Saints pretty much controlled it.



The Huskies started with a creative kickoff with an unbalanced right attack, and used that to energize their entire first 10 of the match. They showed speed and quickness early, but we settled in, stopping those early attacks before they were deep into the front third, and then gradually took control of the match.

It was 2-0 at the half as the Saints netted, yet another, corner kick goal and, yet another, baseline attack goal. We have seen this scoring approach in all four of the Saints' wins.


It was quite a tournament debut for our varsity freshman as Angel kicked off Holy Week as a Saint with five goals.

Jane Hansen was just unflappable in the back as she anchored a Saints defense (Payne and Zinkus joined her on the All-Tournament Team) that gave up no goals throughout the tourney. She was rewarded by her selection as the Tara Peck Award Winner for being the most valuable player in the 2024 Bob Durig Memorial Mo-Kan. 


The All-Tournament team also recognized Angel DiCola, Sydney Zinkus, Brooklyn Marn, Anisten Cabantac, and Maggie Payne. But honestly, so many Saints had a great tournament that another 3-4 could have been on the team as well.


The Saints will be back in action next week away at St. James and at home against Bishop Carroll.

We have arrived: The State Finals 2024

Game 20: (19-1-0) 25 May vs. BV Southwest at Spring Hill for the whole ball of wax (5-0) 2024 Stats We reached the final game of the season with a strong performance in the Semifinals against a quality Bishop Carroll team, earning the right for the presumptive match-up from DAY 1 of the season, Blue Valley Southwest. The Saints had an opportunity to write some more history today. We had allowed 6 goals all year; that's .330 goals against for Maggie Payne, and even less for the team. Southwest will need to score as they did yesterday (7 goals) to drastically change those numbers. The girls had an opportunity to win their 20th state title—nobody has done that in soccer, or in the school for that matter. They are also on a streak that could reach that special number—4. The Saints won the first four State Titles in Girls' Soccer history, and then in 2010 went on a seven-year run.  We went with the line-up we have been using for the last part of the season. It has worked pretty well...

We entertain Bishop Carroll

Game 6: (6-0-0) 4 April vs. Bishop Carroll at 6:30 at Saint Thomas Aquinas (3-2, OT)  2024 Stats EKL Standings In the replay of last year's State Championship match, the Saints came away with a gritty, overtime win. To get to OT, Maggie Payne had to save two PKs in the second half. And, of course, she did it. ( First PK Call , First Save ) ( Second PK Call ; Second Save ) I just love how we can count on Miller to attack the baseline; she creates lots of corners, and she created the game-winning goal tonight as she drove down low before sending it across the box. Ainsten had some choices as she drove the ball down the seam, but she chose wide to a walled-up Miller, and that became the game-winner with just a cool finish from Brooklyn. We are still allowing too much attack from the middle of the field as Carroll earned 7 corners and put 11 shots on frame to go along with several dangerous free kicks. In another match without Rylance, we certainly played hard tonight. Our work rate wa...
