Gymnastics: No charge until Metro playoffs begin.

Unheralded and sorely under-rated, HNA’s varsity soccer team quietly fought their way into the WIAA State soc-cer tournament, where they launched an upset-filled run to the State title game. Only a late, come-from-behind

goal by undefeated Gig Harbor spoiled the Cougars’ Cinderella run, 2–1; the silver-medal trophy marked only the second State title game appearance in the history of Holy Names Academy’s soccer program.

Congratulations to all the Cougars and their coaches—including Head Coach Julianna Sackeyfio, voted Metro League Coach of the Year by her peers!

Soccer Record: Overall program record 38-9-4. Varsity: 16-7-1. JV: 12-1-2 . JVC: 10-1-1.

Post-Season Highlights: After a great 5-0 victory over Nathan Hale to begin playoffs, varsity dropped two big match-es against Lakeside and West Seattle. As the team’s window to State was narrowing, the Cougars rallied to defeat Eastside Catholic 5-1, and then, in a last-chance, “pigtail” game against Lake Washington, held on to a 1-0 lead to clench the fifth-seed spot to State.

In the opening rounds of the championship, the Cougars defeated Snohomish 2-0, then faced heavily favored Seattle Prep in the quarterfinals, besting their Metro League rivals, 2-1. Buoyed by that upset, the Cougars took on Prairie in the semifinal match, securing their spot in the championship game with a commanding 3-1 victory. In the title match on November 17, the Cougars fought hard to defend a 1-0 halftime lead, but a late comeback by undefeated Gig Har-bor resulted in a 2-1 loss.
