Cor Jesu…. What a class act. They couldn’t make our memorial game for Lydia at the beginning of the season so the coaches bought the memorial T-shirts and the players wore blue arm bands to our game tonight. Women leading women.

Good Luck at State wrestling MADDY KUHN!! Be confident in yourself! We know you can defeat your opponents, both mentally and physically. Let your strength shine through and lead you to a state title. 💪
Very humbled to receive the all region coach of the year award for public schools. I didn’t earn this alone.. thank you to everyone who has helped liberty build a program that can compete at a high level in 5 short years as a varsity program!
Lydia’s family would like to invite anyone interested to join them for 10:15am mass in the ICD chapel on Sunday Feb 18th for a memorial mass to celebrate all of the joy Lydia brought to our lives.
It is so hard to believe that it has already been a year.

Seniors last day of school today!!
These young ladies have been incredible leaders for our program. I'm so grateful that our soccer journey isn't over yet. I love being out on the field with this 2023 group.
Lost to St. Dominic in the district championship tonight. Not the Way we wanted to go out. There is so much to be proud of this season. In just eight varsity seasons minus Covid year, Liberty soccer has accomplished so much as a program!
Chloe Netzel scored her 51st goal of the season making her the leading goal scorer in the STL area this season!! Netzel is also the current leader in overall points! The stats should be updated tomorrow on STL today.

These two have made a significant impact on our program over their high school career. I’ve loved watching them grow into the incredible young women that they are. It’s been an honor to be a small part of your journey!
I’ve said it a bunch today and I’ll continue to say it. I’m super proud of this group of girls. Seniors you laid a great foundation for this program to build on for many years to come. You helped establish Liberty on the STL high school soccer map!
Chloe Netzel has been honored by the United Soccer Coaches Association as a High School Scholar All American. This is an incredible honor that only 4 girls in the state of Missouri earned this year.

I still can’t believe All this. It’s devastating to know that you all lost one year of high school soccer. My goal is always to make your experience as enjoyable and memorable as possible. I hate that we missed this opportunity together.
I’m not really sure what to think about these creations but there was for sure some great team bonding happening today! 🤭😬we are missing a few teammates but they will definitely be added soon. 🤷🏼♀️
It’s the little things in life that warm the heart sometimes. 🥰 My 9 year old daughter snuck into my soccer clipboard and wrote this on a paper that she knew I would find.
Fought tooth and nail against FZS tonight but we just couldn’t catch a break. Lost 2-1. Extremely proud of our effort!
Goal:
Netzel - 1
Assist:
Struttmann - 1
