Waterford's Road to the Sectional Semifinals
The Waterford girls soccer squad delivered a commanding 5‑0 win over Elkhorn in the regional finals, a performance highlighted by Veronica Street’s four goals. Co‑coach Tyler Vogt praised the team’s execution, noting that Street’s return from club soccer this season added a new dimension to the attack.
The victory underscores a season of dominance for Waterford, which captured the Southern Lakes Conference title and secured the top seed in its sectional bracket. The team has outscored opponents 92‑10, dropping only a single match to Prairie, the current No. 1 team in the Division 4 poll.
Next up, Waterford will host Edgewood on Thursday night in the sectional semifinals. Edgewood arrives as the No. 3 team in the Division 2 poll and was the Division 3 State Runner‑up a year ago, making the matchup a clash of two of the state’s most promising programs.
The winner will advance to face either Monona Grove or DeForest on Saturday afternoon, a prospect that has the community eager to see how far the young, defense‑focused squad can go.
