Class 6A girls soccer postseason quarterfinals Tuesday evening at Bishop Stadium will find Manhattan ( 14-3-1 ) hosting Garden City ( 12-5-1 ). The match begins at 6 p.m.
Manhattan coach Mike Sanchez said the Indians expectation is to reach the Class 6A Final Four, something a win over Garden City would guarantee. Sanchez noted that the four captains on the team have stepped up strong for Manhattan this season. They include Ella Ruliffson, Delayney Lunsway, Marlee Hodges and Taylor McHugh.
Manhattan is seeking to advance to the Final Four for the third time in four years, with 2020 being an exception due to that COVID-19 year. "We have an X on our backs. Other teams want to beat us, so we've got to come in ready to play."
This will be the first meeting in girls soccer between Manhattan and Garden City since 2014.
