Apex Varsity Women’s Soccer would like to get a one or two seed in the tournament.   One of the obstacles preventing that goal is Green Hope.  “Green Hope is the toughest opponent [in our conference].  We lost to them the first time around 2-1.  They’ve been very competitive.  They have given us the steepest competition of any conference team,” said Head Coach Kevin Todd.

The team has not won the State Title since 2007 and has not won the Conference title in two years.  “We have a legacy of winning and winning Conference Contenders for first place.  Green Hope is our toughest match.  I think we can get them next time and at least tie with them in conference [Standings],” said Senior Captain Allison Water.  “Our best games are when we’re in a slow, consistent flow offensively,” said Coach Todd about what plan of attack they’re going to have the next time they play Green Hope.  “The key word is attack.” 

Apex has a record of 4-4-1 whereas Green Hope is first in the conference with an undefeated record of 9-0.

In order to play each other for a third meeting, Green Hope and Apex would both have to advance in the state tournament.  “It would be the third time we play each other [in the tournament]. Who knows the outcome of that with the familiarity of the teams,” said Coach Todd.
