2018 Spring Valley Girls Soccer Capsule

League: Class 4A Desert

Head coach: Matt Hubbard, second season

2017 record: 4-13 (2-10 Southwest/sixth)

Returning starters: Seven

Top athletes: F Mackenzie Carcelli (Sr.), MF Dani Carballo (Jr.)

Outlook: The Grizzlies were young last year, but bring back seven starters and hope the experience gained last season will pay off.

Carcelli (7 goals) and Carballo (2 goals, 3 assists) should be among the leaders on offense.

“This team is full of young talent,” Hubbard said. “Last year we had many sophomores playing varsity. This year we return with experienced upperclassmen and added some young phenoms coming in as freshmen.

“We have a goal of landing in the top four of the league this year.”
