Girls Soccer Looking to NCS Playoffs
The girls soccer team finishes play in the North Bay League this week and will now turn their attention to the NCS playoffs which start next week. The Coyotes joined the North Bay League this winter and showed they could compete with the top schools in the area.
Two ties with perennial league and NCS contender Maria Carillo and a win against Analy were the highlights of league play. In addiition, the Coyotes were competitive in every game, with six of their losses coming by one or two goals.
"It was difficult to know what to expect, given it was the first year of the newly formed league," said Athletic Director and girls soccer coach Chris Ziemer. "We were placed in the league based upon previous years success and the girls were outstanding in every game. Our goal in the first season was simply to compete in every game and credit to the girls for doing that as we were facing a quality team every game," added Ziemer.
The Coyotes will learn their NCS playoff destiny on Sunday, when the sixteen teams are announced. The Coyotes are currently ranked #13, but given their strength of schedule it is possible they are seeded in the top half of the bracket.
Opening round NCS games are on Wednesday February 13th, with time, location and opponents announced on Sunday.
"It has been a memorable first year in the NBL, and we are excited about the future as well," added Ziemer.
