The Eagan girls' fall sports teams — soccer, volleyball and tennis — had a remarkable run.
The Wildcats' soccer and volleyball squads won state championships while the tennis team finished fourth.
"We have been blessed to see so much success this fall with our teams," Eagan athletic director Sandra Setter Larsen said. "I am proud of all of all our teams. They have worked hard to pursue excellence at what they do."
The soccer team defended its Class 2A state championship by defeating Eden Prairie 3-2 in a shootout after playing to a scoreless draw at Husky Stadium on the St. Cloud State campus.
The year before, Eagan defeated Eden Prairie 1-0 on a goal by Jade King in the title game for its first state title in the sport. King also had one of the shootout goals this year.
The volleyball program is putting together an impressive run under the direction of longtime coach Kathy Gillen. The Wildcats outlasted South Suburban Conference rival Prior Lake 25-17, 25-23, 15-25, 16-25, 15-13 for their second Class 3A in the past three years. They accomplished the feat without a senior on their roster.
The Wildcats have won six state titles in volleyball and been the runner-up twice, including in 2014.
The girls' tennis team also had its share of youth on this year's roster. The Wildcats will return their top three singles players along with two doubles players.
