Lenz’s Lonestar ’91 Team Crowned Region III Champions
BATON ROUGE, La. – Texas A&M freshman Rachel Lenz’s Lonestar ’91 soccer team erupted when they were crowned the US Youth Soccer Region III Champions at the BREC Burbank Soccer Complex Wednesday.
The Under-19 Lonestars ‘91 Red defeated the Dallas Texans ’91, 2-1, with all three goals coming in the final 25 minutes. The Texans scored first in the 65th minute before the Lonestars evened the game with five minutes to play. In dramatic fashion, Lenz’s team scored the game-winner with a minute left in the match.
“It was our team’s fourth or fifth time to play in the region championship and we always seemed to get to certain point and just didn’t win,” explained Lenz. “This was our first time to make the finals and we played one of our big rivals (Dallas Texans). After they scored, we had that feeling that we’d come back and win, and we were never panicked. I don’t think our team has ever celebrated a goal that much!
Lenz and the Lonestar ’91 took home their first region championship and at the same time punched their ticket to the US Youth Soccer National Championships July 20-25 in Overland Park, Kan., at the Overland Park Soccer Complex.
