The Varsity Lady Broncos soccer team faced a gauntlet of elite competition this past weekend at the Midway Classic, coming away with two impressive wins and a wealth of experience against top programs.

The tournament began with a definitive "statement game" as the Lady Broncos took on the top-ranked Plano West. In a defensive masterclass paired with opportunistic counter-attacking, the Broncos stunned the favorites with a gritty 2-1 victory.

The momentum faced a significant hurdle in the second match against a powerhouse Byron Nelson squad. Despite a relentless effort, the Broncos struggled to contain a high-octane offensive attack, falling 1-7. While the scoreline was tough, the match provided the team with an invaluable look at the speed and precision required at the highest levels of postseason play.

Great teams are defined by how they respond to adversity, and the Lady Broncos responded with clinical efficiency. In their final matchup against a Shadow Creek team known for their sheer athleticism and speed, the Broncos took control early, securing a dominant 3-0 shutout to close out the weekend.
