After playing winter soccer the previous three seasons, the Knights and head coach Irma Rodriguez returned to the NCL I\u2019s fall soccer lineup with a vengeance. They won their first seven non-league games before dropping a 2-0 decision to Ferndale, then reeled off 15 victories in a row before losing a 3-2 double-overtime thriller to large school Eureka in the opening round of the North Coast Section playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For leading the Knights and a roster packed with both senior and underclassmen talent to a record-setting year, Rodriguez has been named the Lake County Sports Coach of the Year in girls sports for the 2025-26 sports season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelseyville outscored the opposition 84-17 in its 24 games while recording 15 shutouts in all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During league play, the Knights were only challenged in a handful of games. In one memorable game, the team rallied from a big deficit in the second half to beat Lower Lake 5-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis season was truly special,\u201d Rodriguez said of the Knights\u2019 2025 campaign. \u201cThese girls made school history, played with passion, and grew not just as players but as teammates and family. We couldn\u2019t be prouder of how far they\u2019ve come and the legacy they\u2019ve built for Kelseyville soccer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/coach3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6828\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/coach3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/coach3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/coach3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/coach3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/coach3-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/coach3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kelseyville soccer made school history with 22-2 record in 2025 Lake County Sports on Facebook KELSEYVILLE &gt;&gt; Reeling off a school-record 22 wins, the 2025 Kelseyville High girls soccer team established itself as a North Central League I power, winning all 12 of its games, eight by shutout, under the direction of head coach Irma [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6827,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,6,17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6826"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6826"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6826\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6829,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6826\/revisions\/6829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
