Overtime thrills…two first-ever soccer state champions
After the dust settled from the weekend’s state high school championship soccer matches, the city of Tucson came away with solid possession of Division II. And a single school in the Phoenix Valley very nearly wrapped up all of Division I. The Salpointe Catholic boys’ team survived a very physical encounter with Scottsdale’s Notre Dame [...] -
Brophy wins AZ Soccer Showcase to kick off nat’l tourney
Building a high school sports event that can be called a ‘national’ tournament takes time. But you have to begin somewhere.

Five of [...] -
Tempe Diablos tourney helps evaluate prep soccer teams
The Tempe Diablos soccer tournament is a great early-season gauge because it draws most of the top high school teams from around the state. This year was no exception.

UA soccer showed promise for 2011, but can’t find the net
Arizona soccer started the season with great promise and high expectations, as the Wildcats returned 11 starters from last season – including a seasoned goal keeper. But the bloom is off the rose, as they say. Three games into the 2011 season, the women’s team is still looking for its first win… and its first [...] -
NAU soccer to christen Lumberjack Stadium vs. Drake
The NAU women’s soccer team will open its ‘like-new’ 1,000-seat stadium this Friday, when it hosts the Mortenson Mountain Classic. However, the Lumberjacks won’t enter the inaugural game riding high, as expected. Instead, they come into the match-up with Drake University limping along after an 0-2 start to the season. Northern Arizona, which was coming [...] -
Catalina Foothills sweeps both 4A-I state soccer titles
Catalina Foothills High School did what no other school was able to accomplish at this year’s soccer state championships. The Tucson school swept both the boys’ and girls’ titles. This was an interesting year in ‘big schools’ soccer, as three of the four divisions held the possibility of a boys/girls sweep. In addition to Catalina [...] -
Tucson soccer teams win Brandon Bean pre-season event
The high school soccer teams in southern Arizona got together last week for the annual Brandon Bean Classic tournament to kick off the 2010 soccer season.
