Steinmühlen’s women’s soccer team won bronze at the Hesse championship in Frankfurt
Podium finish at the Hesse Championships for the Steinmühlen women’s soccer team in Competition Class III: After winning the regional round of the “Youth Training for the Olympics” competition, the team led by Coach Lothar Potthof took home the bronze medal in Frankfurt, making them the third-best women’s soccer team in Hesse in their division.
At the regional tournament, they had three wins against Taunusschule, Gesamtschule Schlitzerland, and FvSS Wetzlar—along with two ties against IGS Busecker Tal and Gymnasium Oberursel, which had won the state championship two years ago. As always, our team played with great dedication and shone thanks to a cohesive team effort. Full of hope and enthusiasm, our players then set off for Frankfurt to compete in the Hesse finals.
At first, things were looking pretty good—despite the pouring rain, our women’s soccer team made it to the semifinals. Perhaps, in the end, they were too cautious and nervous. An unfortunate back pass ultimately led to a 0–1 loss to the team from Offenbach.
Your performances were still fantastic, girls! We want to say a huge thank you—both to our female soccer players for their dedication to the sport and to Lothar Potthoff for his great commitment. We’re already looking forward to seeing more from you! Keep up the great work!
