BACKGROUND INFORMATION:Natick HS Girls' Soccer is coached by David Wainwright, Kari-Ann Daley, Kayla Steeves, Kimberly Morrison.  The captains are Kyra Hacker, Briar Grady, Allison Jeter.
 
The team won the Massachusetts Division 1 State Girls' Soccer Championship for the 2021 Fall Season.  This is the first State Championship for the Girls' Soccer Team in school history.  In the last 4 years (since the Fall Season of 2018 when this group of Seniors were 9th graders), the Girls' Soccer Program has had historic success.  They were D1 State Finalists in 2018 losing in a penalty kick shootout (after playing 100 minutes of scoreless soccer v. Wachusett Regional HS).  They were D1 South Finalists losing to eventual State Champions Bishop Feehan in the Fall of 2019.  Last year - Fall of 2020 - because of Covid there was not a State Tournament.  And this season they were 2021 State Champions.  The team captured 3 Bay State League Titles during this time and numerous other accolades along the way.
 
Natick HS and the Natick Public Schools are so proud of this team not just for their unparalleled success on the field but for the grace and sportsmanship in which they have carried themselves on and off the field.
