Ogden High players Ryklie Moss, left, and Gwenyth Aardema high-five each other after an Ogden goal against Ben Lomond during a Region 12 girls soccer game Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, in Ogden. (BRIAN WOLFER, Special to the Standard-Examiner)Six different wins separate No. 2 Ogden High and top-ranked Manti in the 3A Utah girls soccer state championship bracket, released by the UHSAA over the weekend.
The Tigers beat the Templars 5-1, the only program with a first-round bye across all classifications this postseason, for a sixth all-time state title in 2025. Baylor commit Elle Weston, a senior this year, was involved in each of Ogden’s three first-half goals.
Alexis King and Ogden (11-6), perfecting another 8-0 region run for consecutive seasons now in King’s three-year run as coach, host No. 15 Emery on Wednesday at 1 p.m. in Ogden. All first- and second-round matches are played at home sites.
Following last spring’s boys playoffs, the state semifinals and finals matches across all classifications will be held Oct. 19-24 at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman; historically, state champions were decided at the 20,000-seat America First Field in Sandy.
