Most of the Seton girls soccer team's success can be traced to defender Jessica Robb. For Wyoming, senior midfielder Monica Hoyles scored 17 goals and contributed seven assists for the Cincinnati Hills League champion Cowboys.

        Robb is the Enquirer's Division I Player of the Year, while Hoyles is the top player in Division II.

        An imposing player who enjoyed physical contact while challenging the opposition, Robb was extremely quick to the ball and also was capable of playing offense when needed.

        Robb played a major role in the Saints' (15-2-1) 10 shutouts and winning the Girls Greater Cincinnati League Scarlet Division title.

        During the 1999 season, Hoyles scored 32 goals and contributed nine assists for a Wyoming team that claimed the Cincinnati Hills League title. As a result, Hoyles was a marked player throughout the 2000 season as most teams geared their defenses to stop the senior striker.

        Although her goal production was down, Hoyles made up for it with leadership and a tenacity that carried over to teammates.

        Second year Mercy coach Mike Roth's Bobcats were not ranked in the Enquirer's preseason Division I poll although only four players graduated from the 9-8 1999 team.

        However, the Bobcats were steady throughout the season and upset Seton en route to the Division I state championship game.

        Although Mercy finished state runner-up and fourth in the GGCL Scarlet, the Bobcats recorded a single season best 16-4-3 record, earning Roth the Enquirer's Division I Coach of the Year.

        Defeating Wyoming has been a tough task for the Indian Hill Braves the past three seasons. This year, the Braves finished second behind the Cowboys in the Cincinnati Hills League.

        But in the regional semifinals, second year coach Amy Rief's Braves beat the Cowboys 1-0 to reach the championship game for the first time.

        A team dominated by junior and sophomore starters, Indian Hill (14-5-2) wonthe sectional and district championships.

        This effort earned Rief the Enquirer's Division II Coach of the Year honors.
