Returning a National Player of the Year and pretty much the best player we’ve ever seen in Ivy Tolbert, means Commerce is going to once again be a force. The Lady Tigers, fresh off a Final 4 run and two seasons removed from playing for a state title, are as deep and talented as they’ve been so far. Something special is happening in 2024.

Head Coach: Scott Tolbert (5th Season)
2023 Record: 19-2; Region Champions; State Final 4; #1 State Ranking

Returning Starters: 8
Key Returners: Ivy Tolbert (National Player of the Year, All-American, Region POY, BLITZ POY), Sarah English, Nataly Calderon, Rylee Allen, Arely Ledesma, Madison Sanchez, Madelyn Ausborn, Sylla Stephens, Lily-Kate Diaz, Kaylee McVay
Key Departures: Chloe Diaz, Kate Hill, Rachel English

Team Strengths: “This will be, by far, the deepest and most athletic team that we have had at Commerce,” states Tolbert. “We will be young, but we believe this team is better than our Final Four team from last year. This is the first year that all 20 rostered players have played club or school soccer. Our freshman class boast three freshman All-State players in Clair Hollars, Belle Gary and Jasmine Diaz.  We have the SB Live National Player of the Year, the 3-time Georgia High School POY, 2-time Georgia All-Class Super XI team member and 4-Time 1st Team All-State player, Ivy Tolbert leading our team, along with 3-time All-State defender, Sarah English. Rylee Allen, Arely Ledesma, Madison Sanchez and Nataly Calderon are all returning All-State players.”

“Our team goal is to once again win Region and play for a State Championship,” exclaims Tolbert.
