Katie O'Neill boots the ball down field for Smoky Mountain in last week's 2-0 win over Enka. The Lady Mustangs established a school record with their 13th victory of the season.

Smoky Mountain's soccer team set a school record for wins in a season with a 2-0 victory over Enka on April 11 at Carr Hooper Stadium/Babe Howell Field.

The Lady Mustangs improved to 13-1 overall and 7-1 in the Western Athletic Conference.

"That was one of our goals," Coach Chris Griffin said of the 13th victory. "We had more games scheduled than in the past, but that might change now because of the rain. The team and coaches feel good about the record. That says a lot about the girls on the team and their work ethic."

SM controlled play throughout with 23 shots to eight by the Sugar Jets.
