Hill Soccer had a great year in 2014, both teams won the Region for the first time ever! For the girls it is their second Region Championship, first since 2008. For the guys it is their first ever. The guys were not done with winning the Region though, they went on to win the District and named Plains District Champions. After that they advanced to the National Championship tournament where they went undefeated beating the #2 team Illinois Central and drawing with #7 Trinidad State finishing group play tied for 1st and being knocked out by goal differential. The boys finished tied for 5th at Nationals.
Easy to say that Hill Soccer is on the national radar now after this year. Each team had a player named National Player of the Year. The boys finished the year ranked in the top National Poll.

2014 Season has begun
The Hill Soccer teams had great training camps and achieved a lot within the first two weeks of training. The boys had a very strong start to their pre-season by beating Texas Wesleyan (D1 NAIA) 4-0 and then Howard Payne (D3 NCAA) 8-0. The first game for both teams were unfortunate losses to Richland who were ranked #6 (womens) and #3 (mens) in the national polls. However, both teams quickly rebounded yesterday with a complete sweep over Mountain View; the girls won 5-0 and the guys won 3-2. Next game is Friday for the home opener versus
Eastern Oklahoma State.
