Prep Soccer will be following the action closely, following multiple matches every week and reporting on the players having big roles with their teams and helping them succeed. As part of our coverage, we will also preview some matches we believe have the potential to be highly exciting and here is our pick for Tuesday, February 6:
Hebron vs. Coppell – 6:30 PM @ Hebron HS
Hebron
The Hawks from Carrollton are in excellent form this season after falling in the first round of the playoffs in 2023, with 11 wins, one tie and just one loss in 13 matches – they have 43 goals scored and 13 conceded. Hebron have a perfect record in District 6, having topped reigning state champions Marcus (3-2), Plano East (5-4), Plano (7-1) and Flower Mound (4-0) in their first four matches.
Senior Destinie Apodaca has been solid between the posts and the team’s backline has a pair of talented and offensive-minded outside backs in sophomore Lily Weiss Lily Weiss D Hebron | 2026 State TX and junior Chloe Nugent Chloe Nugent 5'4" | D Hebron | 2025 State #220 Nation TX – and junior Tessa Arreola Tessa Arreola null | D Hebron | 2025 State #200 Nation TX is currently unavailable, with the Mexican national team. Senior Molly Lundy is a key piece in Hebron’s midfield and, alongside sophomore Leah Simpson Leah Simpson 5'5" | F Hebron Varsity | 2026 TX , helps get the ball to the team’s stellar attack formed by sophomore Jordan Hill Jordan Hill 5'8" | F Hebron | 2026 State #29 Nation TX , who’s a threat with pace and dribbling skills, and junior Layla Thompson Layla Thompson 5'5" | M Hebron | 2025 State #139 Nation TX , who knows her way inside the penalty box and is a lethal finisher.
Coppell
The Cowgirls from Coppell also saw their last playoff run end in the first round of the postseason – they have ten wins, one loss and two ties in 2024, with 42 goals scored and just seven conceded. Coppell are currently in second place in District 6, with wins over Plano West (3-0), Lewisville (8-0) and Plano East (4-0) and a tie with Marcus (1-1).
The defense has been one of the team’s main strengths this season and credits go to junior goalkeeper Veronika Orzolek, who produced nine clean sheets in 13 matches, and the backline anchored by senior Hannah Rosson and junior Summer Chen Summer Chen M Coppell | 2025 State #75 Nation TX . Freshman Emeline Holder Emeline Holder M Coppell | 2027 TX has been a fantastic addition to the team, having registered eight goals and two assists already, and forming a solid midfield with juniors Claire Pafford and Monica Morales Monica Morales D Coppell | 2025 State #271 Nation TX .
