One of the most remarkable stories in Indiana high school soccer this season has been the performance of the Noblesville girls’ varsity team (19-0-2).
It’s one thing to go through the whole season unbeaten, a feat reserved for some state winners in the past. However, it’s quite another to go through the season — and thus far postseason — unbeaten and not even concede a single goal.
Even the great Carmel team of 2002 conceded goals during its unbeaten and untied season (25-0).
In fact, the closest anyone has come to stopping the Millers in their tracks was co-No. 1 Carmel itself in the sectional final, with the game going to penalty kicks after a 0-0 tie.
Noblesville now plays Evansville Memorial (20-2) in the state finals at Kuntz Stadium on Saturday. The winner will face the victor of Culver Academies (18-0-1) and the winner of the Fort Wayne Snider semistate final — which takes place tonight — later on Saturday evening.
Meanwhile, the boys’ state finals will see Evansville Memorial (21-0-2) — conquerors of Columbus North (who in turn beat Providence in the regional final) — take on the winners of the Fort Wayne Snider semistate, delayed due to inclement weather. Mishawaka Marian (15-6) will play Zionsville (19-3-1) for the other spot in Saturday evening's final.
