The girls soccer state tournament brackets:
Class 5A
Defending champion Mountain Vista is the top overall team in the 5A bracket on the strength of an 11-1-2 regular season. Cherry Creek comes in at No. 2, Pine Creek is No. 3 and Ralston Valley is No. 4.
Class 4A
Evergreen also takes the top spot as it tries to defend the state championship it won a year ago. League rival Green Mountain comes in at No. 2 with Windsor and Lutheran rounding out the top four.
Class 3A
Traditional powerhouses Colorado Academy and Kent Denver take the top two spots in the 3A bracket. The Mustangs captured the 2024 state title with a 3-1 win over Jefferson Academy. A dangerous Delta team with Jessie Black, the state’s top goal-scorer, comes in at No. 3 with Prospect Ridge Academy taking the No. 4 spot.
Class 2A
A 9-5-1 record was good enough to put Denver Christian in the top spot on the 2A bracket. Buena Vista, last year’s state runner-up comes in at No. 2 with Colorado Springs Christian taking the No. 3 seed. Crested Butte rounds out the top four.
Defending champion, Flatirons Academy, enters the tournament as the No. 8 seed.
