It was a magical season for the Zionsville soccer team, unfortunately it ended a couple of games too soon. On a cold Saturday, the Lady Eagles were able to beat #5 Brownsburg 1-0 in the morning game to reach the Semi-State title game. Yet in the night cap their efforts came up short as they fell 2-0 to the #9 Cathedral Irish.

The day started for the Lady Eagles as they took on a very strong Brownsburg team. It took three minutes for Zionsville to open up the score as Junior forward Lindsey Hansen came up big once again, scoring the game winning goal off a corner kick by Senior Kasey McKenney. This was all the scoring Zionsville needed as their vaunted defense again shut down another opponent to earn the chance to play for a semi-state title game.

In the night game the Lady Eagles squared off against a very solid Cathedral team who had beaten Batesvile 4-0 earlier in the day. Zionsville played a great first half creating several scoring opportunities, yet the Cathedral goalie made some amazing saves to keep the score 0-0 at the half.

Unfortunately in the second half, Cathedral struck early 4 minutes into the half off a cross from the right side of the box. The ball rebounded off of several Zionsville players and landed on the foot of a Cathedral forward who shot over Haseley's head to give the Irish the 1-0 lead.
Not even 5 minutes later, Cathderal increased the lead off a corner kick goal by Mariah Whitaker. The ball curved inside of the first post and into the net to make the game 2-0.

Zionsville pushed offensively to try to close the gap, but their efforts fell short as the Cathedral defense played a great solid game in the second half. In the end the Irish earned the semi-state title and a trip to the state finals.

"It is a dissapointing end to our season", said head coach Ramon Aguillon "However, this was a great succesful year for our program, to be able to beat three of the top 5 teams in the state as well as win a Sectional and Regional title is something the girls should be very proud of". "They accomplished some amazing things this year, we leave with a sour taste in our mouth, but still very happy with the season".

Zionsville season record ends at 16-3-4.

"I want to thank all of our seniors for their contributions, they have raised the bar in terms of expectations for future generations. They have laid the ground work for the future success of our program".
