Winning a championship is amazing in itself, but winning three in the last seven seasons is truly incredible.

To go along with those three championships, the Lady Pirates have won six straight league titles.

Head Coach Kanyon Anderson has done a brilliant job in coaching these young athletes, and his record attests to that.

Anderson told the 2016 soccer team, “If you win the championship, I’ll let you shave my head.”

After giving a short speach about success, hard work and perseverance, Anderson stayed true to his word and  allowed the champs to shave his head in the Pirate Union Building for the entire student body to see.
