Optimism and experience are key words for Humboldt High girls’ soccer.

Humboldt girls’ soccer returns 12 letterwinners from last year’s squad that went 10-8 overall, 7-5 and third in the North Central Conference standings in the NCC’s inaugural soccer season.

Humboldt coach Rodd Mooney and first-year assistant, Stephanie Harklau, look to see continued growth this season.

“The numbers are really good with 37 kids out. Right before COVID hit three years ago we had numbers in the 40s. We are getting back there now,” Mooney said. “It’s nice to have a good mix of kids in all four grades.”

“Last year a lot of young kids got good experience. Now we take that experience and try to build on it. At the same time we try to teach the incoming freshman class,” Mooney said. “We also have a lot of kids who are inexperienced but we are seeing good things out of them in practice.”
