2016 Sierra Vista Girls Soccer Capsule

SIERRA VISTA

League: Class 4A Southwest League

Head coach: Ross Muir, fifth season

2015 record: 7-9-2 (7-7 Sunset, fifth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Nine (five)

Top athletes: MF Calista Reyes (Sr.), MF Danielle Johnson (Sr.), D Grace Lasker (So.), D Emma Zeigler (So.)

Outlook: Reyes (18 goals, 7 assists) is one of five starters returning for the Mountain Lions, who are young. Muir said half of his team are freshmen or sophomores.

“We have a lot of youth that is learning as we go,” Muir said. “We are leaning on a small number of returners to maintain the hard-working mentality from last year.

“The new players on the team have shown great potential and dedication to go along with their youth. The experience of the returners should mix well with the new players, and we are confident to continue that success.”
