The Lindbergh High School girls soccer team notched a statement win on April 14, shutting out Union 2-0 behind a dominant performance from sophomore standout Kasey Patten. Patten netted both goals—one in each half—leading the Flyers to victory. She now has three goals on the season for Lindbergh. 

The Flyers’ defense also shone against Union, with Mackenzie Bieg and Josie Watz combining efforts in goal to secure the clean sheet. It was the third win of the season for Lindbergh, who had previously defeated Seckman and Jackson on March 25 and April 7, respectively.

With the win against Union, Lindbergh improved to 3-5-1 on the year. As of April 24, Lindbergh sits at 4-8-1.

Despite a losing record, the Flyers have been competitive in a challenging early-season schedule, suffering narrow losses to strong programs like Cor Jesu, losing 1-2, and Rockwood Summit, losing 0-1. Though the opposition has been stiff, Lindbergh head coach Jake Pittroff emphasized the importance of testing his squad against elite competition.

“We’ve been competitive and played in some really tough games. I think we are starting to put things together and play better.” Pittroff said. “I’m a big believer that a team has to be built by playing the best. In order to be the best, you have to beat the best.”

With the postseason looming, Pittroff hopes the rigorous schedule will pay dividends.

“I think the tough schedule helps us,” Pittroff said. “We are getting better technically and tactically. I also think our decision-making has improved, especially defensively.”

The team is led by captain Lauren Smith, who will continue her soccer career at Spring Hill College, a Division II school. Senior Kate Warren also provides leadership and experience, while Danni Cotter, who has tallied four points this season, is set to play at UMSL. Patten, as well as Gabby Moran, who has six points on the season, have emerged as key offensive catalysts.

With a daunting Class 4 district on the horizon, Pittroff remains realistic about the challenges ahead.

“It’s just a powerhouse,” Pittroff said. “It’s one tough district.”

As the Flyers continue to build both their tactical foundation and mental grit, Pittroff is optimistic about where this journey could lead.

“It’s a journey of learning,” he said. “The girls are building aptitude and mind skills, which are life skills they will need to be successful.”

The Flyers faced Notre Dame on April 16, winning 1-0. They next played Webster Groves on April 18, St. Joseph’s on April 21 and Layayette on April 22, losing the three games 0-3, 1-4 and 0-5, respectively.

Lindbergh will face Ursuline Academy on April 25 at 5:30 p.m.

SALT LAKE CITY— Fresh off a fourth-place finish at its 49^th consecutive NCAA National Championship and fifth consecutive appearance in the Final Four, Utah Gymnastics gathered one more time to commemorate everything Team 50 accomplished at the annual end of year team banquet.

While not the ending the Red Rocks had hoped for, there was plenty to celebrate in 2025, which head coach Carly Dockendorf made clear in her opening statement to those in attendance.

“Success doesn’t always look like the number on the trophy we came home with,” said Dockendorf. “Success can look different in many ways. Success can be found in how we grow as people, how we influence and inspire those around us, how we work outside our comfort zone for a goal, and at the end of the day, success is really about getting one-percent better, and we did that. We achieved all of that this year.”
 

The Red Rocks became the first team to earn a conference championship (both regular season and championship meet) since the Utes moved to the Big 12 Conference in the summer of 2024.

Utah Gymnastics also cleaned up during awards season placing eight gymnasts in All-Big 12 teams, with two of those gymnasts earning end of year recognition from the Big 12.

Additionally, Utah had four WCGA Regular Season All-Americans in 2025, and six athletes later earning NCAA All-America status while keeping the Red Rocks’ impressive Nationals appearance record alive and well.

“Nothing in life is ever a guarantee,” said Dockendorf. “All of us took a chance this year at winning a National Championship. All of us invested more than we ever have before to ourselves, and to this team to go after the title. It would have been a lot safer if we didn’t give as much, if we didn’t care as much, and if we didn’t go all-in.”
 

With that in mind, Dockendorf, and the rest of the coaching staff took the time to recognize a few athletes that went above and beyond in 2025 to help achieve some of their lofty goals.

Senior Amelie Morgan was presented with the Dahl Academic-Athletic Award for her consistent efforts through 125 career routines while also pursuing excellence in the classroom for her degree in business management.

The Marsden Leadership Award had two recipients this season with one going to senior Jaylene Gilstrap for her efforts volunteering in the community, and the other going to senior Jaedyn Rucker for taking on a coaching role after suffering a season-ending injury before competition begun.

Freshman Avery Neff earned the Newcomer of the Year award for instantly stepping into a big role in the all-around on competition days despite being in the midst of getting comfortable as a college student.
 

Junior Ashley Glynn was given the Coaches’ Award for her dedication to getting outside of her comfort zone in order to compete three events consistently in 2025.

Last, but certainly not least, junior Makenna Smith, and senior Grace McCallum were recognized as team MVPs for the attitude, personality, and performances they brought every day to the Red Rocks through the year.

“This quote from Warren Buffet just made me feel exactly how I feel about our seniors today,” said Dockendorf. “‘Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted the tree a long time ago.’ To the senior class, you have laid the foundation for this new era of Utah Gymnastics, and you are leaving a legacy.”
