PREVIEW: Lady Bobcats Ready To Rise
After a tough season last year, the Trophy Club Byron Nelson Lady Bobcats soccer program is ready to get right to work and do whatever it takes to have a more positive season. Looking strong with a lot of chemistry, what can fans expect to see from the Lady Bobcats this season? VYPE DFW is here to tell you!
A Look Back
Last season, the Lady Bobcats had a less-than-ideal start that started to snowball as the season progressed. Unable to find the proper footing, the team finished their season with a 2-9-4 overall schedule (2-5-4 in district play) with a 6th place spot in their district's standings. The team worked hard and continued to show growth through many of their moments on the field and, despite their record, they were able to pull of victories over Keller Fossil Ridge and Keller Central.
What's to Come
With a new season ahead, the Lady Bobcats are looking strong and have continued to build chemistry on the field. After opening their season with a tough 4-0 loss against Flower Mound Marcus, Byron Nelson was able to fend off Lubbock Coronodo to finish in a 0-0 tie before recording a 4-0 victory over Grapevine.
Led by Nadia Ortiz, Grace Berry, Shelby Erskine, Rachel Raper, and more, the team is looking sharp and can be expected to continue on the up trend they are on. Their first game of the new year will be in a tournament where they will face off against Lubbock Cooper- looking to show everything they have - on January 12th. From there, the team will continue to finish their non-district schedule and prepare themselves for district play. Fans can certainly expect a better season. This squad is strong and has a drive to be great! Be sure you catch the team in action!
The Lady Bobcats will open district play at home against Keller Fossil Ridge on January 24th at 6:30 p.m.
Byron Nelson Lady Bobcats look to open district strong
With the preseason behind them, the Byron Nelson girls soccer team is looking for a strong start to district play as they open up the district schedule against Southlake Carroll on Tuesday evening. The Lady Bobcats are known for overcoming adversity to play strong against their opponents throughout the year. VYPE DFW takes a look at what fans can expect from Byron Nelson girls soccer for the remainder of the season:
Last season, the Lady Bobcats finished at the top of their district with a 10-1-1 district record. The team posted big wins over the likes of V.R. Eaton, Timber Creek, Fossil Ridge, and Southlake Carroll en route to the playoffs. Their sin against Fossil Ridge featured 11 goals from an incredible squad. During the playoffs, Byron Nelson defeated Euless Trinity and El Paso Eastlake before being knocked out by Keller. This year, the Lady Bobcats are looking to go even further, but first they must take down their district opponents.
The Lady Bobcats will open district against a strong Southlake Carroll squad on Tuesday. Despite tough losses to Ursuline, Grapevine, Coppell, and Flower Mound during preseason play, fans shouldn't lose hope in Byron Nelson. The team has proven that they are ready to take on anything that comes in their way. When the Lady Bobcats are down, they aren't down for long. Led by strong athletes, fans can continue to expect an offense with an attacking mentality who will keep the pressure on their opponents defense. The defense can also be expected to rise to the occasion and put in the work through district play in order to make a deeper playoff run.
