September 11, 2018
The Academy Girls Varsity soccer team lost 2-0 to Cibola High School in the finals of the Metro Soccer Tournament on Friday, September 7. Cibola attackers Sydni Burrup and Sarah Torres, both juniors, scored in the 13th and 15th minutes of the match. Both goals were off of corner kicks. Despite the loss, making it to the finals was a huge milestone for the Chargers. Not only did the game mark the first time the team has made it to a Metro final, but they also made tournament history as the first 4A girls team to advance to the finals. The students and parents who came out to support gave the girls a boost through a challenging game, and the tournament is a promising beginning for the team’s regular season.
