Varsity Girls Soccer Post-Season Accolades Pour In

Coach Craig Bull led the Eagles to victory in his inaugural season as the Santa Margarita girls soccer head coach. Not only did the team win the triple crown -- securing Trinity League, Division 1 California Interscholastic Federation – Southern Section and Regional State championships, but Coach Bull was also named CIF-SS Division 1 Coach of the Year. Goalkeeper Peyton Trayer ’26, in her debut high school season, has been named CIF-SS Player of the Year and CIF-SS All First Team. Forward Faith George was named The Orange County Register's girls soccer player of the year and Trinity League MVP.

“I am so grateful to receive CIF Player of the Year this season, especially as a freshman. It was a dream season and my teammates and coaches made it even better. It is such an honor to receive this award,” said Trayer. Trayer blocked three shots in penalty kicks against Los Alamitos to help the team win their first section crown since 2016.

George scored an impressive 28 goals this season and is committed to USC. The high scorer said, "It was a whole team effort for me to score." Click here to read The OC Register story.
