Trinity Girls Soccer Opens With 5-0 Shutout Over McCluer North
By Jim Wieners
Trinity Catholic Girls Soccer began a new era March 23 with a 5-0 shutout over McCluer North at James Eagan Field at Eagan Civic Center, across Waterford Drive from the Ferguson-Florissant School District Administration Building and McCluer North High.
Five Titans — freshman Casey Clark, senior Morgan Clark, senior Hannah Dietker, junior Kelsey Keppler and junior Kierstyn Weaver — each scored a goal while Morgan Clark added two assists. Trinity outshot McCluer North 21-3 but McCluer North sophomore goalkeeper Navone Armstrong made 13 saves.
The Titans are now coached by Don Schmidt, who succeeded Vince Drake after Drake coached at St. Thomas Aquinas-Mercy and Trinity since the late 1960s. Drake guided Aquinas-Mercy to 11 State Boys Titles, two of them before the Aquinas-Mercy Merger (one shared with Bishop DuBourg) and a 1987 Girls State title. Drake ended his coaching career by leading the Trinity Girls to a third-place finish in state last year.
