On Tuesday, the Santa Clarita City Council recognized the Hart High School girl’s soccer team who have become the 2023 CIF State Champions.

Earlier this month, Hart High’s girls soccer team topped off their season with one last win, taking home the league, CIF and SoCal Regional championships. 

Hart’s CIF 4-2 victory over the San Marcos Knights was headed by coach Brett Croft and athletes selected for the 2023 All-CIF team which included Briley Phelps, Ariana Salvador, Alexis Nguyen and Macey Edmann. 

Phelps was named Division 2 Player of the year and both she and Nguyen scored most of the goals while Edemann worked defense. Salvador shined as the junior midfielder.

Members of the city council recognized the team’s impressive season on Tuesday at the regular city council meeting, inviting the team to come up and accept an official city recognition. 

“They absolutely dominated their CIF division while outscoring all their opponents, 20 goals to one throughout their entire season,” said City Councilmember Cameron Smyth.

During the season, the team had 19 wins, three losses and four ties. 

“These girls deserve all the credit,” said coach Croft. “They earned it.”
