2011 – present
The finals ledger, recomputed: Marian has reached five IHSAA girls soccer state finals. The titles: Class A in 2012, beating Providence 2–0 under Djamel Charmet (the team 18-4-2) — the association's own release headlined it the school's first girls soccer state title; and Class 2A in 2025, beating Park Tudor 3–0 at Michael A. Carroll Stadium in Indianapolis under Henry Vu (15-4-2), with two goals from Milana Micola. The runner-up finishes: Class A in 2011, losing to Providence on penalties, 3–1, after a scoreless final; Class 2A in 2021, losing 1–0 in overtime to Evansville Memorial; and Class 2A in 2024, losing the penalty shootout 4–1 to Lawrenceburg (the team 16-4-2). Recomputed: two championships, three runners-up, five finals.
The move up: The 2025 title triggered the IHSAA's tournament success factor, and Marian played 2026 in Class 3A. The Knights won the Northern Indiana Conference at 6–0, took a sixth straight sectional title, and reached the 3A regional final before losing to Crown Point on penalties after a 3–3 draw at Penn on 17 October 2026, finishing 13–4 with the season's only other losses to the state's first-, second- and fourth-ranked teams. Vu was the NIC's 2026 Coach of the Year.
