LHS Hires New Girls Soccer Coach

After a tumultuous spring, Liberal has hired what they hope is a more permanent solution as head girls soccer coach.

Kristen Dolen, a current assistant coach for the Lady Redskin Soccer team has been appointed the Head Girls Soccer Coach position at Liberal High School.

Kristen is a Language Arts teacher at South Middle School. Kristen has served as a girl’s assistant coach the previous two years at LHS. Kristen brings a great deal of enthusiasm and excitement to the girl’s soccer program.

Luis Aguilar coached the team last year until he resigned during the season after a string of consecutive losses. Lori Navarro stepped in to coach the remainder of the season.

LHS athletic director Scott Hinkle says she is a good fit.

I am excited to have Kristen on board, and begin a new chapter in Lady Skins Soccer," Hinkle said.

"Kristen brings a lot of enthusiasm, knowledge and excitement to the girl’s soccer program. We need consistency in the girl’s soccer program, and Kristen is up to that challenge."

The Lady Redskins were 2-14-1 last season.

Hinkle quotes:

"I am excited to have Kristen on board, and begin a new chapter in Lady Skins Soccer."

"Kristen brings a lot of enthusiasm, knowledge and excitement to the girl’s soccer program. We need consistency in the girl’s soccer program, and Kristen is up to that challenge."
