Mission accomplished!

Indiana and Utah were the first states to move forward with a fall high school soccer season, and over the weekend both states completed regular season play.

Now it's on to the playoffs.

Utah only offers girls soccer in the fall. In Class 6A, the state's large-school bracket, perennial state power Davis (Utah) was one of six teams to receive a first-round bye. Davis posted a 15-1 regular-season record.

In Indiana, Noblesville (Ind.), the defending state champion, posted a second straight undefeated regular season. The Millers went 10-0-1 with the lone blemish being a draw with rival Hamilton Southeastern (Ind.) in the season finale. Noblesville is 27-0-4 since 2018.
