girls soccer team for earning a class 1 state title on June 8, 2019. 
The girls soccer team earned their championship, the first conducted by 
the Virginia High School League for Class 1 soccer, in a close match 
with Stonewall Jackson-Quicksburg at Christiansburg High School.
  The state championship clinched an 18-1 season for the Eagles. It was 
a close-run thing on a windy and rainy day, with a tie broken after 
four sudden victory periods and nine successful penalty kicks 
alternating between each team. The Eagles competed with discipline, 
skill, and coolness under pressure. Congratulations are in order for 
Coach Ashley Moreno and the team, especially its seniors. Auburn's 
parents, teachers, students, and fans also should take pride in this 
wonderful accomplishment.
