Northwest Texans aren't slowing down
The Northwest Texan soccer program has been going full speed from the moment they stepped onto the field for practice this season. Currently sitting in the first place spot in their district, the Texans aren't willing to slow down for anyone. The team has been on fire this season and looks to continue to make an impact through the rest of their district schedule. So, what can fans expect from the rest of this season? VYPE DFW lays it all out for you!
A Look Back
Last season, the Texans finished fourth in their district with a 7-6 district record (11-10-2 overall). Northwest was able to make a quick playoffs appearance, but ultimately fell in a hard-fought 4-2 match against Wichita Falls. The team showed great strength as they shut out six of their opponent last season including Denton Ryan (3-0), Denton (3-0), Lake Dallas (1-0), and more. The Texans outscored their opponents 36-30 on the season before finishing in the playoffs.
This Season, So Far
So far this season, the Texans have been on a roll. With an undefeated district record so far (3-0-1), the Texans are sitting in the first place spot in their district standings. After fighting through their non-district schedule, the Texans used everything they learned to make a district campaign go their way. Through non-district play, the team faced adversity and played against pretty strong teams in the area- sharpening their skills and preparing them for their district opponents. Defeating Burleson, Lancaster, and Lake Dallas in preseason matchups, Northwest made it known that they came to play hard this season.
So far in district play, the team has defeated Aledo (3-1), Azle (3-0), and Fort Worth Brewer (3-1) while pulling a 0-0 draw against Saginaw in the district opener. On a three game win-streak, the Texans are looking to continue district play Tuesday, February 7 against a 1-9-5 Granbury team.
What To Expect:
Northwest can be expected to continue their dominant style of play through district. The team is looking down a long list of people they have been known to play tough against already. With only four games left until playoffs, the Texans are looking to make a case that they're one of the strongest teams in the area.
Be sure you catch the team in action! Their game against Granbury on Tuesday evening will be in front of a home crowd and is set to begin at 7 p.m.
Northwest Girls Soccer starts season with a bang
The Northwest Lady Texans soccer team opened up their schedule on Tuesday, January 11 with a victory on the road. The team is looking to make their first playoff appearance since the 2016-17 season. With the Lady Texans' strength showing on Tuesday, there is not doubt that this squad is certainly set up for greatness!
In their first game of the season, the Lady Texans posted a 3-0 win over Fort Worth Chisholm Trail. Rachel Hand started off the scoring with a goal off of a free kick. Not long after, Hand found Jenna Nolting on a corner kick and Nolting was able to send the ball into the net. Jenna Kirk was able to score the team's third goal in the 38th minute and the Lady Texans went on to win the match.
Northwest is slated to face-off against a handful of really great teams during their preseason play including the likes of Kennedale, Aledo, Argyle, and more before heading into their district schedule. The Lady Texans, looking strong on the field, can be expected to play with quick-footed offense. Not only does the team have a strong set of scorers, though, the Lady Texans are equipped with a great set of defensive players. Fans can expect the team to make a strong campaign towards one of their best seasons yet!
