A pair of local girls soccer teams produced winning teams last year, and they hope that formula for success holds true this season. At The Bishop’s School, the Lady Knights under head coach Brian Quinn finished 17-4-1 a season ago and captured the Southern California Division III title along the way. Key players for Quinn this winter look to include Lindsey Holman-Kelly, Stevie Griglak, Francis Harvey, Marje Lacombe and Kaylie Davidson. “Our early season schedule is one of the toughest in Bishop’s girls varsity soccer history — La Costa Canyon, Torrey Pines, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Patrick Henry — who are all talented teams that I feel will test the girls and prepare them for league play,” Quinn commented. Bishop’s is set to play Coronado today, Dec. 18, before heading into winter break. At neighboring La Jolla High School, the Lady Vikings under head coach Kristin Jones finished 15-3-3 last season, returning 15 players who participated in last season’s CIF title game. According to Jones, sophomore Callan Parra and junior Brianna Chapman will direct the offense, while Alex Foster and Tess Plant-Thomas lead the defense. “Big things are expected this year,” Jones remarked. “With so much experience, we are hoping that leads us to the CIF title game once again.” — Editor’s note: La Jolla Country Day School did not respond to a request for information on its team.
