The Tigers stated their case Saturday, Nov. 7, overwhelming Paul Dunbar 5-0 in the championship match of the state tournament at Lexington Sporting Club Stadium . It was a near-perfect finish to a perfect season. “Dunbar had a heck of a season, and they’re a great team," St. X coach Andy Schulten said. "They just caught us on a hot, hot day. Once we got that first goal to go in and then we followed with another, we knew they couldn’t really sit back on us.

The Tigers won their second straight state title and third in the past four years. Along with its No. 1 state ranking, St. X is ranked No. 2 in the nation by United Soccer Coaches .
