While their season is over, they're still getting their soccer fix this summer, as they'll be watching the U.S. Women's National Team go for its third straight World Cup championship, which has never been done on the men's or women's side.The Stars are the state's six-ranked team in Class 5A. The team won their first district title after going 15-1 in league play, and outscoring their opponents 84 to 3, which included 15 straight shutouts.
"Because it's a Women's World Cup year, just the visibility around women's soccer is so much more than it typically is," Reed said. "So, it's really fun to latch on to that a little bit. And keep the buzz going for women's soccer in Austin, too."
