Notes
Weather may have delayed the 1A NCHSAA Women’s Soccer Championship Match but it could not deny the Christ the King Crusaders from repeating as Champions. On Sunday afternoon at the UNCG Soccer Stadium, Christ the King edged Woods Charter 1-0 to take the title back to Huntersville. After a scoreless first half, the Crusaders broke into the scoring column five minutes into the second half. Junior Brianna Pacholski found the back of the net thanks to an assist from senior Elle Gorman. Senior captain Riley Milligan was named MVP. While the goal made the difference, the Crusaders' defense made the lead stand up, just as it has all season long. Christ the King allowed just six goals in the 2023 regular season and only three in the NCHSAA 1A Playoffs. The win caps the season for the Crusaders at 17-2-3. Woods Charter also finished as runner-up in 2022 and finished 2023 20-2-3. The Wolves have lost just three matches in the last two seasons, two of them have been to Christ the King in the Championship match.
