Our team goal at the start of the season was bold but simple: Win Nationals.
We knew it would be difficult but the road we took to get there was less conventional than ever expected. After an incredible start, we faced our first loss 8 games into the season which resulted in an early exit from the regional tournament for the first time in 3 years. Our path to Nationals became hazy but still within reach as we were given a second chance with an at-large bid, placing us in the third seed of our National tournament group.
The Mustangs battled through 6 grueling games in Round Rock, Texas, showcasing incredible teamwork with 8 different goal scorers, only 2 goals conceded, and 4 consecutive shutouts to reclaim the National Title! 🏆
