(Elizabeth Flores/The Minnesota Star Tribune) 1st Half: Prior Lake 0, Wayzata 0 We’re underway here at the Bank, kicking off our first of six girls semifinals. Wayzata appears to be without All-Minnesota sophomore outside back Carolyn Voss, who made last year’s All-Tournament team as the Trojans won the state title. Voss had the rare honor of being among 20 teenage players called into the U.S. Youth National Team’s under-16 camp, which runs this week and includes matches overseas against England. But this Wayzata squad certainly doesn’t lack talent or state tournament experience. (There’s a reason they’ve reached No. 9 in the national United Soccer Coaches Association poll, after all.) The Trojans have qualified for state the past four years and finished runner-up in 2023, in addition to their title last year. Reliable senior goalkeeper Sophia Alvarez missed nine regular-season games due to injury but is back in net at the right time for the Trojans. She’s come up big in the playoffs so far.

After the boys battled yesterday, it’s a dozen girls teams taking to the turf across three size classifications today, competing for a spot in Friday’s state championship matches. First up are our two Class 3A big-school semifinals. Starting us off is defending champion and No. 1-seeded Wayzata against upset-hungry and No. 5 seed Prior Lake. The Trojans will look to fend off the Lakers, who are making their first trip to state in over two decades under first-year head coach Phil Walczak. This Class 3A tournament is especially competitive, with Wayzata winning 1-0 in overtime against St. Michael-Albertville in its quarterfinal, and Prior Lake needing a late goal to beat Lakeville North 2-1. Both teams are deep (thanks to being two of the largest schools in the state) and are battle-tested (thanks to tough regular-season schedules). Interestingly, the teams haven’t faced one another yet this season. Keep an eye on Wayzata’s junior forward Lauren Craig, who leads the Trojans in both goals (25) and assists (22) in their quest for a ninth state title. Senior forward Ellie Ohlmann, a Drake commit, also tops the Prior Lake roster in both categories, with 15 goals and 13 assists this fall. — Cassidy Hettesheimer Share Article LinkedInComment About the Authors Cassidy Hettesheimer Sports reporter Cassidy Hettesheimer is a high school sports reporter at the Minnesota Star Tribune.See More Olivia Hicks Olivia Hicks is a reporter for the Minnesota Star Tribune.See More More From Girls Soccer After Annunciation tragedy, soccer serves as outlet for Holy Angels playerGirls Soccer Teagan Jurek lifts Prior Lake over Lakeville North in 3A girls soccer quarterfinalsGirls Soccer Holy Angels girls soccer team shuts out St. Francis in Class 2A quarterfinalsGirls Soccer Watertown-Mayer reaches Class 1A state semifinals with 1-0 win over La Crescent-HokahGirls Soccer Strib Varsity Homepage Social Navigation About Strib Varsity Advertising & Sponsorships Strib Store Quick Links Sports Hubs Livestreams Admin Login Manage Account Support Center Report a Correction The Minnesota Star Tribune © 2025 StarTribune.
