FORT WORTH, Texas -- The Grapevine girls' soccer team reinforced its reputation as giant-killers Thursday in the opening-day action at the Red Bull/Nolan Showcase.
Grapevine knocked off FAB 50 No. 2 Marcus 2-1 on a late goal by senior Courtney Heimlich at Nolan Catholic High School.
In other key first-round matches, the grass at Texas Christian University's Garvey-Rosenthal slowed Coppell's attack as No. 50 Colleyville Heritage edged No. 10 Coppell 2-1. At Nolan Catholic, No. 35 McKinney Boyd jumped out to a 4-0 lead before finishing a 4-1 victory over Tyler Lee; No. 26 Ursuline Academy scored four unanswered goals for a 5-1 win over Mayfair (Calif.); and No. 7 Nolan Catholic used a second-half strike by Morgan Ullman to edge No. 15 Southlake Carroll 1-0.
Last year Grapevine opened the showcase with a 3-2 win over then No. 1 Coppell. The Mustangs used that victory to vault into a FAB 50 ranking and ultimately a 20-5-0 season that ended with a playoff loss to eventual state champion Southlake Carroll. "We come in expecting this,” second-year coach Ryan Davis said. "We believe we can play with anybody.”

Keller beat Flower Mound on PKs 4-2 after FM tied the game 2-2 in extra minutes on a Keller own goal.
Not sure why it's not posted as a win.
game that goes to pks is listed as a tie traditionally for high school soccer
