Outlook
Two of Florida’s most formidable girls’ soccer programs collide today as nationally-ranked Bartram Trail takes on Sunlake in a semifinal matchup.
The Bears, who sit atop the 6A classification, face a Seahawks squad that’s riding high after avenging their lone loss with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Steinbrenner in the regional final.
Sunlake’s dynamic offense, powered by Kayla Bays (14 goals) and Adia Symmonds (11 goals), will test a stingy Bears defense that’s surrendered just 0.32 goals per game.
The Seahawks have been equally impressive defensively, allowing only 0.55 goals per contest while amassing 69 goals of their own.
Both teams bring impressive postseason pedigrees into the clash, with Bartram Trail perfect since the district tournaments while Sunlake has won four of five in that span.
