Both of the Lady Hawks girl’s competitive soccer teams competed in the Spring Outdoor season at Lake Country Soccer Complex in Springfield, MO.
The younger Lady Hawks 95/96 finished up league play by losing their first game 0-2 to JB Marine of Springfield and tying the Lady Lakers of Camdenton 2-2 in their hard fought final game. The scoring came on unassisted goals by forward Chelsey Howser and midfielder Nique DuBois. The defense was consistently good throughout the season due the efforts of goalies Darby Price and Whitney Weems, sweeper Camia Blash, stopper Elizabeth Sisson, and fullbacks Morgan Malik, Meghann Hogue, Haley Harr and Alexis Goodwill. In addition to Chelsey Howser, forwards Alexus Lemasters, Katie Gaddis and Kaley Caracci contributed significantly to the Lady Hawks attack. The midfield chores were more than adequately handled by Kathleen Anderson, Hannah Wiley, Taylor Winking, Elyssia Lucio, Meg Anderson and, the aforementioned, Nique DuBois. The Lady hawks 95/96 finished third in the eight team LCS U14 Girls Red Division and are coached by Jeff Anderson and Mike Keeling.
The senior Lady Hawks 94/95 captured the LCS U14 Girls Blue Division with two victories. They defeated Total Demize of Springfield, 4-1, in the first game on goals by forwards Emilee Starnes and Bailey Dent (2) and by midfielder Rhiannon “Scooter” Moore. Assists were provided by forwards Janelle Miller and Emilee Starnes as well as by midfielders Scooter Moore and Bohannon Rafter. The second win of the day was a 2-0 besting of the Rolla Lady Knights. Scoring came on unassisted goals by Scooter Moore and Emilee Starnes. While capable on the attack, the Lady Hawks success was most certainly due to their ability to keep their opponents from scoring, allowing only four goals scored during the eight game season. The defensive game was managed by goalies Lesley Larson and Ashley Tillott, sweeper Jourdan Kilthau, stopper Chantelle DuBois, and fullbacks Kellsey Skelton, Kaitlyn Winking and Mikalah Moise. In addition to Moore and Rafter, the tough midfield was manned by Izzy Paolicelli, Randi Secules, Kim Pryor, Alexys Hood and Sydney Hogue. The trio of Miller, Starnes and Dent provided the league’s highest scoring set of forwards. They are coached by Jon Moore and Dave Neeley.
The Lady Hawks will finish play for the year at the Show-Me State Games in July and then become part of the newly formed Pulaski United FC.
