Ruiz Looks to Bring LHS Girls Soccer Up to Par

KSCB News - March 23, 2016 1:00 pm

Carolina Limon. That’s a good place to start for first year Liberal High School head girls soccer coach Carlos Ruiz. Limon, who has signed to play soccer at NJCAA power Butler, has led Liberal in scoring in each of the past two seasons. Ruiz, a 2009 LHS graduate, place Limon on defense during the first practice. Despite being Liberal’s obvious top offensive threat, Limon didn’t hesitate in hustling to the defensive spot earning the coach’s trust from the very start.

Ruiz inherits a program which has never won. Liberal has gone 5-10-1, 5-11, 6-10, and 2-14-1 the past four seasons. Ruiz has been’s Lori Navarro’s assistant for five years and played for the Redskins before graduationg in 2009.

The team has already received bad news as Garden City CC signee Ariana Diaz injured her knee and is out for the season after an injury last week. Some key players to watch include Sr. defense Vanessa Alvarado, Jr. forward Kayla Gokey, So. forward/midfielder Alondra Alvarado, Fr. defense Kim Alarcon, and Jr. goalie Reyna Gonzalez.

Ruiz says the program has good athletes but neads more ball touches to click as a team.

Liberal opens at Dodge City Thursday and plays at home against Borger Friday. The team was featured during the Sportsguys Tuesday morning.
