Our season came to an end last night at the District A6 semifinal game vs #1 seeded Lincoln Southwest. The girls played an amazing first half, holding them to only one early goal due to some miscommunication. We settled in for the rest of the half and battled hard. But then the second half got away from us and we ended up losing 7-0. Every single player got into the game last night and all of the seniors ended their final game on the field.
We will definitely miss these seniors, but will continue to build on the foundation they have added to for the Burke girls soccer program. We wish all of our seniors the best in their endeavors after graduation.
Out of the 21 girls on the Varsity team this year, 12 had never played at the varsity level before. That experience will be extremely beneficial for next year's team!

Amazing group of girls that never gave up on each other all season. We're sending off 8 special seniors, 4 of whom will be playing in college. Thank you to ALL of my players and coaches for a special season! Couldn't have asked for a better group of girls! And they always had each other's backs. Thanks ladies! #OneTeamOneFight

A hard loss Wednesday night for our team. After battling since the first week of the season though injury after injury, illnesses and injury, oh and injury, we accomplished one of our season goals of making it to the District Championship game. After our Monday upset of #1 seeded Norfolk (who won the wild card today and made it to the State Tournament with the help of Millard South who upset Lincoln Southeast) we faced #7 Papillion LaVista for a chance to go to State. We played 50 minutes of scoreless soccer until they finally netted the lone goal and game winner, 10 minutes into the 2nd half. Our players pushed and pushed and just couldn't get dangerous shots on goal. Sophomore captain Holli Knudsen played through an extremely painful back injury to record 15 saves on the night, and help keep it close. Every player played their heart out and left it all on the field.
I have never been more proud of a team I have coached than this year's team. It would have been easy after that first week to just give up on the season, and really any time after as we added injury after injury, but these girls NEVER gave up. They battled and worked and fought in every game we played against every opponent. No team was better suited for being BETTER THAN THEIR RECORD. A special thanks to the seniors and everyone else who made the season something special.
