After a 1-0 win over Pieper High School last night, the varsity girls soccer team will face Barbers Hill Friday in the UIL State Semi-Final game at College Station High School. A win on Friday will send the T-Wolves to the State Championship Game for the first time since 2001.
“I knew we had the talent and to finally show it and see the girls believe in themselves, I’m just super proud of them,” Head Coach Winston Pool said. “We’re going to celebrate, but we’ll be back to work to prepare [for Friday]”.
Senior captain and striker Meredith Koltz scored the lone goal in the second half of the game with senior defender Sofia Peters coming up with the lone assist.
“It was so surreal [when I scored the goal], I think I screamed really, really loud,” Koltz said. “It was just very rewarding because I know how hard our team has worked. We worked our absolute butts off and it gave a result. We could have definitely scored more, but to be the person that scored the goal to send us to state for the first time in forever, it felt so special.”
A strong performance from sophomore goalie Jemma Hart and the T-Wolves defense led to another shutout on the season. The team has yet to have an opponent score a goal on them in the playoffs.
“[The team helps me on the field] because everybody keeps really high energy and celebrates every good thing that happens,” Hart said. “We just make sure everyone stays with everyone and stays on top of everything even if you don’t excel at it. Everyone’s just staying very motivated on and off the field.”
After ending the first half 0-0, Pool said the team made minor adjustments to ensure business was settled in the second half.
“I told the girls we can have it zero zero by halftime, that’s a win for us,” Pool said. “We just moved some people in and out of positions to close the game. It was a phenomenal performance from the girls on the field.”
The T-Wolves have a statistically close matchup ahead of them as Barbers Hill is coming in with a 24-3-2 record and .248 goals against average. However, the Lady T-Wolves sport their own .386 GAA and a 23-2-1 record. Koltz said this year’s team is different, as the practice and preparation is not what brings the wins, but rather the dynamic they have fostered on the team.
“There’s nothing we can’t do together,” Koltz said. “If I make a mistake it’s not like ‘oh do this better’ it’s more like ‘hey, we got this, we can stick together’ and we’re working for each other. Not a single person wanted this goal by themselves, we’re all with each other and we’re just a big perfect family.”

Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”
