If the Mount Si girls varsity soccer team is a train, then Miranda Rawlings, Alyssa Proudfoot and Claire Larsen are the conductors, making sure that the team reacts quickly and as one to stay on track, everyone moving in the same direction.

The three captains, all four-year players for the Wildcats, are equally excited about the possibilities of their senior season. Rawlings, a center midfielder, and already committed to play at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas next year, says the team already has several strengths, including quickness and passing.

“We have fast people up top,” she says.

Proudfoot and Larsen, both defenders, say everyone is a part of this machine.

“You work as a team. You find success when you pass a good ball,” Larsen says.

“Everyone has to be involved in a goal,” adds Proudfoot.

All three leaders have played since the first days they could kick a soccer ball.

In KingCo, the trio agrees that rival Liberty will be the team to beat. After that, they’ve got their eyes on a league title, and on to state.

“This year, we’re going to win state,” Rawlings says.
