Spartans remain undefeated in 2025
The Spartans defeated Hardin Valley Academy, 2-1, on Sept. 23 at home. Webb led, 2-0, at halftime after Simone Romain scored in the eighth minute and Mary Mac Emery scored in the 31st minute.
Webb also led Hardin Valley Academy in corner kicks, 2-0, during the first half.
Spartans’ head coach Elaine Roth discussed her team’s unbeaten start to the 2025 season.
“We battled through some early season injuries, and players were coming back into the rotation, so that certainly helps our depth,” Roth said. “I think the girls are gaining confidence at a time during the season where they need it.”
Emery is a junior and committed to Texas on Aug. 5.
“She will graduate in 2027,” Roth said of Emery. “She was voted captain by her teammates, so she is one of our captains. She is a great leader and I think people really respect her work ethic. She gives direction, but it is in a manner that the girls like to follow. Emery is a great teammate and player.”
Romain is a sophomore in 2025 for Webb.
“Simone is one of our young and talented players,” Roth said. “She actually got quite a lot of playing time last year as a freshman. That experience helps her step into her role as a starter this year. She is one of the ones that seems to get a little more confident, a little more explosive every game.”
Webb concluded its week of competition with a, 2-0, win at Baylor on Sept. 25. Romain scored the Spartans’ first goal and was assisted by McKalie Ball, who scored the final goal and was assisted by Emerson Clarke. Lauren Newell recorded a shutout for Webb.
The Spartans are 10-0-1 with matches versus Briarcrest Christian, Knoxville Catholic and Central remaining in the regular season.
