Xavier High School - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

No.1 Saints boot City High in opener

Kayla Armstrong is playing soccer at Drake University these days, so the Xavier Saints will have to win their ninth state title in a row without their former superstar.

They welcome the challenge.

Lizzy Bailey, Marisa Berutti and Katie Ives scored two goals apiece Thursday as the Class 2A top-ranked Saints blanked Iowa City High, 6-0, in the season opener at Heco Field.

Armstrong poured in 48 goals in 20 games for Xavier last season when the Saints cruised to another state title, but the scoring mantle has been passed to Bailey, Berutti and Ives this year.

The times have changed for Coach Bailey Winter, assistant coach Rocki Shepard and the entire team, and the 6-0 victory with balanced scoring was a good start.
