Catholic Storm The Capital

As Pope Benedict XVI was being inagurated in Rome this weekend, our local Fighting Irish were overcoming the odds and their number seven seeding to win the Championship of the Capital City Soccer Classic. As mentioned earlier, the Lady Irish knocked off the #11 ranked Rolla Bullodgs (Class II) on Friday evening in the opener of this tournament played at the 179 Soccer Park facility. From the Scoreboard section of today’s News-Leader are the following match stats:

Alicia Tonjuk scored in the second half, assisted by Shannon FitzGerald, providing the winning margin in a 1 – 0 shutout of Jefferson City in the semifinal match.

Shannon FitzGeral scored the winning goal in the final, assisted by Tara Bailes, who scored the winning goal against Rolla on Friday night. Shannon’s goal came in the second half after Lee’s Summit had scored to tie the game earlier in the half. Catholic initially took the lead in the match on a penalty kick in the first half. Alli Bailes, a junior, handled the successful PK .

The Lady Irish were ranked second in the state in Class I when the first coaches poll came out on April 6th. Duchesne, St. Dominic and Catholic all received 42 votes in the poll, behind St. Pius (Festus) and their 45 votes. There were 19 teams who received votes in that initial poll. By the time the most recent poll was completed on April 20th, there were only 15 teams receiving votes and the order had changed as follows: 1) John Burroughs 2) St. Pius- Festus 3) Visitation Academy 4) Springfield Catholic and 5) St. Dominic. John Burroughs received 74 votes in the poll and Catholic 42 as in the earlier poll.

Catholic has a reputation for playing a difficult schedule, a choice that does not offer a gaudy W – L record but one that does prepare them for the rigors of the Class I playoffs. Taking on two state ranked Class II teams, and coming out on top, bode well for their opportunity June 3-4 in Fenton. I’ve got it marked on my calender!

Late addition – the Jefferson City News Tribune briefly mentions Catholic’s win while recapping the match up between Jefferson City & Jefferson City in the 3rd place game Saturday.escorts websites

Glendale 0, Columbia Hickman 2

The Glendale Falcons soccer website notes that Glendale went 1-2 this weekend at the tournament in Sedalia. The Friday evening match up was against Columbia Rock Bridge and the Falcons lost by a score of 1-4. The lone goal was scored by Kali Simpson on an assist by Lauren Bettlach. On Saturday morning the opponent was #12 ranked Columbia Hickman as I noted in a post earlier this week. The Kewpies shut out the Falcons by a score of 2 – 0..

The Falcons bus ride home from Sedalia was improved by their performance in the third and final match of the tourney. In this case they were able to defeat Raymore-Peculiar, from the KC area, by the score of 3-0. Match Stats: Jamie Bond (1G), Lauren Bettlach (1G/1A), Kali Simpson (1G/1A).

For additional information on the first match of the tournament, Fridays game against Columbia Rock Bridge, the Columbia Daily Tribune describes the 1 – 4 loss. As additional coverage becomes available I’ll be certain to point you in the right direction.

Catholic defeats Rolla 3 -0

From the Springfield News-Leader, the Catholic ‘Fighting Irish’ defeated Rolla yesterday in the opening match of the Jefferson City Capital Classic by the score of 3 – 0. Ranked seventh in the eight team field, Catholic pulled off the upset when Elle Holtman’s goal broke a scoreless tie in the second half on an assist from Tara Bailes. Tara is part of an extremely strong freshman class that are making their mark on the top teams in the area. I’ll have to explore that in further detail in a later post.

For now, the question is what this might do to both the State and Regional rankings. Both Kickapoo and Glendale have faced off against Catholic this year and both came away with 1-0 wins in tight games against the perennial Class I contender. However it is Rolla that is state-ranked in Class II although Kickapoo and Jefferson City received votes in the two most recent polls.

From the Jefferson City News-Tribune, the Jefferson City Jays defeated defeated Joplin 3 – 0. The win puts them into a semi-final matcch against Catholic today at 11am. The winner moves on to the Championship match later today.
