Catholic and Nixa Reach Middle School Title Game

MS Semifinal: Cherokee Indians vs Nixa Eagles
Cherokee Indians – 2
Nixa Eagles – 3
The Eagles finally break through and reach the Middle School Final after two years of being knocked out in the semifinals. They took the early lead when #8, Alyson Galler, broke past the defense and slotted her shot from just inside the 18 yard box to the far post. Cherokee fought back and when #19 was able to make a run into the box on the left side, slipping past the onrushing keeper, her square ball across the face of the goal was met by # to even the game. Tied at halftime, Nixa got a pair of goals from Bailey Pesek in the second half to earn the win.

Springfield Catholic – 2
Pershing Generals – 1

The final will be played on Monday at 7:00 pm.

  1. Maddie Hoskins made the first goal for Cherokee and Miriam Melugin made the 2nd with a great ball from well outside the 18 mark that went over the top of Lexi Stagner’s (Nixa Keeper) head.
