Semifinal Showdown
St. Michael the Archangel delivered a commanding performance in the Class 3 girls soccer semifinal, routing Capital City Lady Cavaliers 6‑0 on a crisp Tuesday afternoon. The Archangel offense exploded for six unanswered goals, highlighted by a converted penalty from Addi Basler and a flurry of strikes from Harper Burdick, Lorelai Landa, Lydia McVey, Mackinley Gosset and Wytnee Herrman.
Between the onslaught of goals, Capital City’s goalkeeper Ryann Flower kept the Archangel attack at bay for stretches of play, logging 11 saves that underscored the defensive resilience of the Cavaliers despite the final margin.
With the semifinal in the books, Capital City now turns its focus to a third‑place showdown against Rockwood Summit, while St. Michael prepares for the state title game against Fort Zumwalt South. The upcoming matchups promise another chapter of high‑stakes high school soccer in Missouri.
