The Coral Gables Girls Varsity Soccer Team ended its successful season Tuesday, Jan. 15, with a 0-3 loss to Ferguson in the 5A District 15 playoffs at Tropical Park.

Gables’ record for the year was an impressive 15-5, with the team’s only losses coming to two powerhouses in their district, Lourdes and Ferguson, which meet Thursday, Jan. 17, in the district championship game.

Gables Coach Eddie Aguirre said he was proud of the team and disappointed for the players over Tuesday’s defeat:

“I really wanted them to go a little further. They worked so hard and we had such a good season.”

He already is planning for next year.

“This isn’t enough,” he said. “We beat everybody we needed to beat this year except two teams – and that’s got to be our goal for next year.”
