Girls Soccer

2026 Season Preview

The Roncalli girls soccer team will once again be facing a tough schedule for the 2026 fall campaign. The Circle City Conference portion of the schedule (this is the final year for the conference) includes Guerin Catholic, Brebeuf Jesuit and Bishop Chatard.  Last season, the Royals defeated Brebeuf in penalty kicks to secure their first Circle City Conference title in school history and are hoping to bring the trophy home yet again this year.

Non-conference games include Cathedral, Columbus North, New Palestine and Franklin Central. After winning a sectional title last season, the Royals went on to defeat Danville in the regional semifinal, and ultimately fell 1-0 in a heartbreaking loss to Park Tudor in the regional championship. This year, the Royals moved up to 3A and will face Franklin Central, Greenfield-Central, Greenwood, New Palestine, Perry Meridian and Southport in the sectional. Their hope is to repeat another sectional title and bring home a regional championship, which would be the first in school history. In the 2025 campaign, varsity finished 11-7-2 with 13 of 18 players finding the back of the net and four players scoring five or more goals.

Players to watch for the Lady Royals include seniors Demi Goss, Lizzy Metzger and goalkeeper Vivie Hayes.  The underclassmen to watch include junior Addie Gates, sophomores Selah Roach and Brooklyn Ahaus and freshman Whitney Horton.
