Mound Westonka girls soccer equaled their best recent regular season record with eight wins and eight losses (going back to 2008).  This record matched the performance from 2014. The team also earned their highest ever ranking using the QRF Rankings found at Minnesota-scores.net, with a 77th-place finish out of the 192 girls soccer programs statewide. The team earned a No. 5 seed in the 5-AA section and an away game at the Blake School.

The last week of the regular season ended with an easy win and a frustrating loss.

The week’s first game was against Hutchinson and was also the annual celebration of the girls senior players.  Mound Westonka will graduate four senior captains this season - Anna Elliot, Quinn Jenson, Libby McCue and Megan Wanner.  Wanner and McCue both got two goals, Elliot also scored, and junior Alicia Hatlestad provided the sixth and final goal in the encounter.

The second game was against a tricky Zimmerman side. The Mound Westonka team had most of the possession in the game, but the White Hawks could not find the net. A couple of defensive slips let the hometown Zimmerman team take the lead, and the White Hawks lost 0-2 on the night.

Overall, the 2021 regular season for the MWHS girls’ soccer program was a success. Second-year head coach Doug Lerfald has the team heading in the right direction. The next test will be whether the team can earn their first section playoff win since 2016 on Thursday, October14.
