STATE SEMIFINALS: Frisco Wakeland to battle Leander Rouse
Having not allowed a single goal in the playoffs, the Frisco Wakeland Lady Wolverines are ready to pack a punch as they head into the UIL State Tournament. VYPE DFW takes a look at their season so far:
So Far This Season
With several strong victories in non-district play, the team challenged themselves to take down as many opponents as possible while showcasing their ability to have fun on the field. One of the most fun teams to watch in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the Lady Wolverines defeated Coppell (3-0), Weiss (4-0), Keller Central (4-3), and more in their preseason schedule before opening up district play against tough opponents.
With an undefeated district record (13-0-1), athletes like Audrey Gilbert, Morgan Landry, Dayleigh Bos, Dilan Pistorius, Brooklynn Freeman, and others posted several convincing victories throughout the regular season including over Frisco Reedy (2-0), Carrollton Newman Smith (9-1), Frisco Lone Star (4-0), Carrollton R.L. Turner (7-0), Carrollton Creekview (6-0), and more. Steady and focused, the team allowed only five goals in district play while scoring 66 goals against their district opponents to finish at the top of their standings and head into playoffs ready to get the job done.
Once in the playoffs, the team never hesitated to do good work while having fun. Leaving each playoff opponent scoreless, the team defeated Lebanon Trail, Dallas White, Prosper Walnut Grove, Lucas Lovejoy, and Frisco Reedy before punching their ticket to the state tournament.
What to Expect
Ready to face-off against Pflugerville Hendrickson, the Lady Wolverines should have no problem taking on a challenge. In the program's third tournament appearance in four seasons, Wakeland is looking to secure their third overall title (winning titles in 2011, 2018, and 2022). Already knowing what it takes to get to the next round, fans can expect this squad to play relentlessly as they step onto the field in Georgetown.
The game is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 11 at Birkelback Field in Georgetown, Texas!

Frisco Wakeland Soccer
The stage is extremely familiar to Wakeland, but because of that the Wolverines might find themselves a little ahead in confidence. Dallas-Fort Worth area high school sports fans know all too well that confidence alone won't win championships- many have fallen due to being ahead of themselves. Wakeland is going to have to go into the semifinals with a brand new mindset against this tough Trimble Tech team if they expect to make it to the state championship game.
Trimble Tech is brand new to the state tournament which means that this appearance means way more to them and they have far more to lose. The Bulldogs have put in the work all season to make this state appearance happen and will stop at nothing to make sure they make it to the state title game.
The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 14th at Birkelbach Field in. Georgetown, Texas.
