Kansas high school girls soccer scores: The 8 regional title games you need to know
Regional championships and tickets to the Kansas high school girls soccer quarterfinals were punched for Tuesday’s games.
Here are the eight girls soccer scores you need to know about from this past week.
1. Late penalty kick from Rogers keeps Maize unbeaten
The undefeated season for Maize lives on, thanks to a savvy penalty kick by junior Haley Rogers with two minutes remaining in a Class 5A regional championship game against Kapaun Mount Carmel.
Rogers slotted the goal away to give Maize a late 2-1 victory in regulation over the Crusaders on Thursday, punching the ticket for the Eagles (17-0-1) to the 5A quarterfinals where they will host Maize South (14-3-1) in a 6 p.m. game this Tuesday.
Maize took a 1-0 lead in the game just before halftime on a goal from sophomore Paige Putter, while Kapaun found the equalizer from freshman Carson Sloan early in the second half. Another overtime game, like the first time the two teams met back in March, appeared imminent until Rogers’ heroics in the final minutes.
2. Ewertz delivers in clutch again to send Maize South to 5A quarterfinals
Just three days after scoring the game-winning goal in triple overtime for Maize South in its opening postseason game against Valley Center, freshman Kyndal Ewertz scored the game-winner in the Mavericks’ 1-0 upset win over Hays in a Class 5A regional championship game on Thursday.
Ewertz’s game-winner came in the 66th minute of the game against Hays, which suffered just its third loss of the season.
Meanwhile, Maize South (14-3-1) advanced to the 5A quarterfinals for a rematch against rival Maize (17-0-1). Maize won the regular-season meeting 2-0 on April 22.

Mulvane (14-4) will host Buhler (14-4) in a 6 p.m. game this Tuesday in a rematch of what was an overtime thriller back on April 12 that Mulvane won 5-4.
Collegiate’s Maddie Kemnitz struck first in the game, giving the Spartans (8-8) an early advantage. But Mulvane was able to pull it out with two goals from Karlie Kanaga and a goal from Emma Kolbe, who also finished with an assist.
