In just a week, the high school girls soccer state tournament gets underway. Local teams have one game to solidify their playoff positioning. 

Davis heads into its final game in first place in Region 1 with an 8-1 mark, a game ahead of Syracuse. Bountiful is leading Region 5, sporting an 11-2 mark. The Redhawks are two games ahead of Northridge, meaning the Redhawks had already wrapped up a region championship heading into their final regular-season game. 

Davis 

The 13-3 Darts face Farmington at home on Thursday. A win would clinch the Region 1 title for Davis for the second year in a row. It would also secure the Darts a high seed in the state tournament. Regardless of the outcome Thursday, Davis will almost certainly wrap up a first-round playoff bye and a second-round home game. 

The Darts earned a huge win over second-place Syracuse on Sept. 26, prevailing 1-0 in overtime. The victory broke what was at the time a first-place tie with the Titans. Simone Packer scored the game-winning goal in overtime, her 14th of the season and 24th of her career. 

On Tuesday, Davis followed that up with a convincing 5-2 victory over Layton. Packer scored again, bringing her team-high total to 15. Samantha Maudsley led the way with two goals, while Lydia Neville and Reial Phongsavath each had a goal. Brooklyn Phongsavath had two assists, and Jentrie Gardner and Courtney Burbidge each had one assist. 

Davis has outscored Region 1 foes 34-8 this season and has given up just 16 goals all year, tied for second best in Class 6A. 

Farmington

When Farmington meets Davis on Thursday, it will be a chance for the Phoenix to get revenge for an earlier 3-1 loss to the Darts, Sept. 17. But it won’t be easy. Davis has been tough to beat this season. 

Meanwhile, Farmington is 5-4 in Region 1 and 8-6 overall. On Sept. 26, the Phoenix defeated Layton 3-1 behind goals from Anndi Wright, Mo Nielson and Brynlee Austin. Oaklee Stanford, Taya Rich and Taytem Grant recorded assists. 

The next game, Farmington exploded in its top offensive performance of the season. 

The Phoenix defeated Fremont 9-2 on Tuesday, scoring five times in the first half and four times in the second. Grant had an enormous game. The junior had four goals on the day. She had five goals coming into the contest and hadn’t scored since Sept. 10. Breklyn Archibald had two goals, while Wright had a goal and two assists. Stanford and Nielson also scored. 

Bountiful

A year after finishing just a game behind the region champion in Region 5, Bountiful broke through and captured the region this season. The Redhawks had also finished second three seasons in a row. 

The Redhawks enter their last game of the season at home against Box Elder on Oct. 3 with a record of 12-3. Bountiful is also on an eight-game winning streak, with many of those victories being blowouts. 

On Tuesday, the Redhawks routed Clearfield on the road, 5-1. After leading just 1-0 at the break, Bountiful reeled off four second-half goals to pull away. Belle Sorensen was the offensive star, as she has been so many times. The junior had three goals, giving her 24 on the season, seventh in the state and first in Class 5A. Paige Jensen had a goal and two assists, while Alivia Roberts and Isabelle Hill each had goals. Bella Morgan added an assist. 

Bountiful also defeated Viewmont on Sept. 26, running away with a 5-0 shutout win. Sorensen had two goals and an assist. Emmy Sorenson had a goal and two assists. Meanwhile, Morgan had a goal and an assist, Millie McPheters scored once and Myka Page assisted on a goal. In the net, goalkeeper Eliza Naegle recorded the shutout, No. 6.5 for her on the year. 

Bountiful has been prolific offensively this season. Not only has Sorensen been the top scorer in 5A (she now has 56 goals in her career), but Page has added 16 goals and 10 assists. Izzy Hill has five goals, and Sophie Winzeler has contributed four goals and seven assists for the Redhawks. Sorenson had nine assists and a pair of goals. 

Viewmont

At 7-6 in league play, the Vikings head into their regular-season finale against Roy on Thursday in a tie for fourth place in Region 5. They are 8-8 overall. 

Viewmont has struggled the last two games defensively, allowing 10 total goals. Following its 5-0 loss at Bountiful, Viewmont dropped a 5-2 decision at Box Elder on Tuesday. The Vikings were down 3-1 at halftime and were outscored 2-1 in the second half. All five Box Elder goals came from one player. 

The Vikings like their chances in the final game of the regular season at home against Roy. In the first meeting between the two teams, Viewmont earned a convincing 4-0 victory on Sept. 3. 

Viewmont’s top offensive performer this season has been junior midfielder Annie Layton. She has scored a team-high seven goals to bring her career total to 14. Lucy Morris and Raegan Rast each have two goals. Tally Smith has four assists to pace the Vikings. Goalie Susan Lamb has been solid in the net, posting seven shutouts. 

Woods Cross

The Wildcats are 6-7 in league play and 6-10 overall, with a home game against Northridge this Thursday the final game on the schedule. 

Woods Cross enters the contest against Northridge having won three of its last four games. The lone defeat in that span came Sept. 26 in a shootout against Bonneville on the road. The game went into penalty kicks after a scoreless regulation and two overtime periods. In the shootout, Bonneville prevailed by making three penalty kicks to one for Woods Cross. 

The Wildcats rebounded, however, with a big 4-1 victory at Roy on Tuesday. Woods Cross scored twice in each half and shut out the Royals in the final 40 minutes. Bailey Brown had a stellar performance. The senior scored two goals and had an assist to help her team beat Roy for the second time this season. Sydney Oaks and Rylee Linton each had a goal and an assist, while Lucy Bahr also assisted on a goal. 

On the year, Brown is the team leader with eight goals, while Clara Howes has six and Oaks has five to go along with a team-best 10 assists.
