Liberal Girls Aim Big in 2021

Brock Kappelmann - March 22, 2022 1:50 pm

The Liberal girls soccer team opens their soccer season Thursday at home against Garden City.  Liberal has nine seniors including WAC Player of the Year Ashley Carrillo coming back from last year’s team which went 8-9-1 with a playoff win over Junction City and 4-3-1 in the WAC.  Liberal went 7-8-3 with a playoff win in 2019 with a playoff win over Wichita South.  Liberal was 6-10-1 in 2018, 8-9-1 in 2017, and 7-10 in 2016.  Those records are significant because before 2016, only once had the Liberal girls won seven or more games in a season (2008).

Some of the key players for Liberal are senior forward Ashley Carrillo, sophomore midfielder Arely Molina, freshman forward Nicole Catalan, senior goal keeper Ashley Melendez, sophomore goal keeper Ashley Acevedo, senior back line Leslie Galindo, senior back line, center mid fielder, and forward Johana Ortuno, senior forward Sadie Solis, senior back line Alexia Martinez, and senior forward Valeria Gonzalez.  Gonzalez and Carrillo were first team all WAC players last year.  Carrillo scored 20 goals with five assists.

Coach Carlos Ruiz is in his sixth season and seventh year (counting 2020 Covid year) at the helm of Lady Red soccer.  Arlene Ruiz, Monica Vega, and Viviana Ortiz are the assistants meaning all four coaches are from Liberal.  Ruiz was a guest during Sportsguys on Tuesday morning.
