On February 23, at Deland’s Spec Martin Stadium, the St. Johns Country Day School Girls Soccer team garnered their 11th straight State Championship and 14th overall State Championship title. Under the direction of Coach Mike Pickett ’83, the team overcame a tight first half in which the Shorecrest Prep Chargers met and turned back every attempt at a goal.

But at the 55-minute mark, Senior and Southern Mississippi-commit Julia Boaventura knocked one in past Shorecrest’s top-notch goalie. After breaking the 0-0 tie, the Spartans loosened up and played on, allowing Boaventura to score yet another goal just four minutes later, bringing the game to a 2-0 close and securing the legacy for another generation of Spartans.

The Spartans now trail St. Thomas Aquinas’ 15-Championships lead in the state record books by only one title.
