The state soccer finals for all classification run Tuesday through Wednesday at Switchbacks Weidner Field in Colorado Springs.

The Class 3A and 4A title games are Tuesday, starting at 5 and 8 p.m., respectively. The 2A final then goes before 5A’s on Wednesday, at 5 then 8 p.m.

Let’s take a look at each championship game below.

Class 5A

No. 5 Fossil Ridge vs. No. 6 Castle View, 8 p.m. on Wednesday

Why Fossil Ridge can win: Is this finally Fossil Ridge’s year?

Though it has been among the best soccer programs in the state for quite a few years running, its recent success hadn’t translated into a state title game appearance … until now.

A long run of second-round losses was snapped last year in a quarterfinals berth. And the SaberCats (14-1-4) built upon that run this spring, punching their finals ticket on the back of a dominant postseason, where they’ve outscored teams 9-1.

After beating No. 4 Ralston Valley in penalty kicks in the quarterfinals, they knocked off No. 8 Valor Christian, 1-0, as Reese Morgan’s 16th-minute goal stood up in their fifth shutout over their past six games.

Why Castle View can win: Castle View turned the corner as a program last spring, snapping four straight losing seasons with a 11-4-2 record and a quarterfinals appearance.

Earlier this season, the small-c Sabercats (13-3-3) were the No. 1 team in the state before falling at Boulder, 2-1, on April 8. And it was far from smooth sailing after that as they finished just fifth in the 5A/4A Continental League, suffering losses to both Regis Jesuit and Rock Canyon.

But the postseason has been different. Continuing to find ways to survive and advance, they won in penalties for a second time in three games against No. 10 Broomfield in semifinals.

Class 4A

No. 1 Evergreen vs. No. 3 Windsor, 8 p.m. on Tuesday

Why Evergreen can win: The Cougars (16-1-2), statistically, have been more dominant than they were during last year’s title run.

They’ve outscored teams 73-11 this spring and 13-1 in these playoffs.

They tout four different players with at least 10 goals this season, including Nadia Leunig, who has scored four of her 10 over the past three postseason games. The challenge for the Cougars, however, is that Leuing is unavailable for the championship game after receiving a red card and being ejected in the semifinals.

In the team’s opener, it was Leunig who found the back of the net in a 1-0 win over Windsor.

Why Windsor can win: The Wizards (16-3) have been good all spring, with their only losses coming to 5A finalist and semifinalist Fossil Ridge and Broomfield, and, of course, Evergreen.

And in the 4A postseason, nobody has been better. The Wizards are outscoring teams 16-1 in four playoff games, and their star sophomore, Tatum Gentry, has two goals in each, giving her 18 on the season.

Over their past 10 games, they’ve allowed just one goal — in the quarterfinals to Mead.

Class 3A

No. 1 Colorado Academy vs. No. 11 Timnath at 5 p.m. on Tuesday

Why Colorado Academy can win: The Mustangs (16-1-2) have been the best team in the 3A classification this season. And it probably isn’t close.

The 3A defending champs haven’t lost in 2025 since their opener to 5A Arapahoe. Heading into the finals, they have won 11 straight, nine by shutout, and are outscoring their postseason opponents 28-0.

This spring, they have five players with at least 10 goals, led by junior Lyla Kocher (27 goals and 20 assists) and senior Celina Frenz (26-11).

In a rematch of the 2024 finals, they beat No. 5 Jefferson Academy 3-0 in the semifinals, getting two goals from Kocher.

Why Timnath can win: The Cubs (13-4-2) have passed one big test after another this postseason.

In the quarterfinals, they shut out 3A’s then-highest-scoring offense in a 1-0 win over No. 3 Delta. And in the semifinals, they took out Metro League-power, No. 2 Kent Denver, also 1-0.

Timnath has four players with at least 10 goals this season, which includes two sophomores and a freshman. Sophomore Lily Eisbrener leads the way with 17 goals and 12 assists.

Goalkeeper Sara Swenson, meanwhile, is red-hot, tallying 10 saves apiece in her shutouts in the quarters and semis.

Class 2A

No. 6 Loveland Classical Academy vs. Flatirons Academy on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

Why Loveland Classical can win: Loveland Classical (15-3) is having its best season in program history. Before this spring, the Lions hadn’t won more than one game in the same postseason.

This spring they have two players with at least 20 goals in juniors Abby Ruppert (24 goals and 11 assists) and Kaelyn Doan (20 and nine).

Last month, they beat Flatirons Academy, 5-3, behind three goals and two assists from senior Emily Carman (14 and nine).

Why Flatirons Academy can win: The Bison (13-3-2) haven’t gotten to the title game nearly as smoothly as they did last season, when they were 2A’s No. 1 seed and finished 16-1-1.

But they blew out No. 9 Front Range Christian, 8-3, in this year’s second round, then knocked out No. 1 Denver Christian in penalties in the quarterfinals.

In the semifinals, senior Annabelle Rakers scored in a 1-0 win over No. 4 Crested Butte, her team-leading fifth of the postseason and 23rd of the season. It’s Rakers’ experience that could be the difference on Wednesday. In last year’s championship game, she scored twice in a 2-1 win over Buena Vista.
