It’s all about star power for the Liberty girls soccer team. The Patriots have two all-state players in Kimi Fry and Cassidy Nangle.

“We have a group of really hard-working girls and they have one goal in mind, and that’s to win a state championship,” said Liberty coach Jamie Giger. “They come out every day looking to get better on the field.”

Fry, who has committed to play for the University of San Diego, plays center midfield. Nangle, who has committed to play for Oklahoma, plays forward.

The two together give Liberty one of the most talented duos in the state.

“With those two captains we have very strong leadership,” Giger said. “They know how to get the young kids to do what they want them to do.”

In her first year of coaching the team, Giger takes over for friend Malia Arrant. She has the Patriots starting right where they left off last year: winning.

“It was a pretty easy transition; our coaching philosophies are very similar,” Giger said.

Liberty went undefeated in KingCo 3A/2A play last year on the way to a league title and a state berth. This season, the Patriots 6-1 overall and 5-0 in league play. Liberty’s only loss came was a 1-0 non-league contest to state-power Skyline, and the Patriots were missing two starters in that game.

Other key players for the team are junior midfielder Kianna Hafferty and senior goalkeeper Macaire Ament. One newcomer to watch is forward Kali Youngdahl.

“I could actually go on about players on this team because we have so much talent,” Giger said. “It’s just a solid lineup all the way through.”
