DEER PARK, TEXAS (April 8, 2023) A goal with 15 minutes remaining in the first half gave Katy Seven Lakes a 1-0 lead going into halftime, which led to a 6-0 downing of Pasadena Dobie at Abshier Stadium in Deer Park,

The No. 1 ranked Spartans (26-1-1) took control of the game early and kept the No. 3 ranked Longhorns on their toes; trying to fins a way around the stingy Seven Lakes defense. The first score of the game, which occurred at the 24:38 mark of the first half, found Daniel Jerenwa in the right place at the right time. The junior defender drilled the ball from the top right of the box, past Dobie goalkeeper Geo Arango to give the Spartans the early lead.

Seven Lakes came back in the second half and scored two additional goals to ensure the trip to the state semifinals. With 27 minutes remaining  Noa Stasic scored a fourth for the Spartans in the 61st minute  and two minutes later Diego Flamecno curled a shot past the keeper and into the corner of the net to increase the Spartans lead to five. Then with just a minute left in the game, Sebastian Ranz volleyed in a goal off a cross as the celebrations began early for the Spartans.

The game was definitely the best test of Seven Lakes' ability this season, Dobie came into the game with a 24-0-4 record; averaging four goals per game.
