Springfield S.C. 91/92 Girls Enjoy Success at GIT Showcase
Springfield SC Girls 91/92 at GIT Select College Showcase
“It was a fantastic weekend for the girls. Really a bit unbelievable when you consider how we won the games. We battled hard under some adverse weather and field conditions and in all three games found a way to walk away with a win. said Jeremy Alumbaugh, Director of Soccer Operations for the Springfield S.C. “Each year we attend his event for the high level of competition against teams that we don’t typically see at a showcase and for the college exposure.” The GIT Select Showcase typically draws over 180 teams on the weekend.
In the first game of the day on Saturday the girls matched up against a Chicago-based club in NSA Premier. The game finished in a 2-1 favor for Springfield Soccer Club. In the evening game which was played under a constant drizzle and dropping temperatures the girls were under heavy pressure right from the beginning against CFC Ambassadors from Ohio. “We constantly had to defend a very athletic team in the first half. In the second half we settled down and created a few more chances. We bent but did not break and that is difficult to do against a quality opponent.” said Alumbaugh. Off of a set piece in the final third Alix Opfer served in a ball that Ann Marie Banasik saved and played to Andrea Parker who finished it right under the goalkeeper. The goal occurred in the last 30 seconds of the game to give the girls a 1-0 victory.
On Sunday after a day and evening full of rain the fields had become very difficult with water and mud on the once nice bermuda grass surfaces. The opponent in the final game was GSA Phoenix out of Georgia. The girls found an early goal only to give up the equalizer right before half. Once again some late game heroics as Shelby Hatz put away a Jessica Bowman cross for a 2-1 result.
Team members for the weekend were: Brittany Dunn, Jacinda Lemons, Alix Opfer, Rebecca Mayus, Andrea Parker, Veronica Renner, Erin Fitzgerald, Jayme Braun, Jessica Bowman, Shelby Hatz, Mandy Bailes, Jordan Banasik, Emily Ortega, Katie Lynn and Ann Marie Banasik.

Like all the group winners, Barça will be at home in the second leg of their tie as they continue their bid to become the first team in the UEFA Champions League era to lift the trophy two years running.

Springfield Soccer Club Claims Lake Country Soccer Fall League Championships
Springfield SC - U12 Girls LCS Fall 2009 Champions
The Lake Country Soccer Fall League allows teams to supplement their fall schedule with a regular schedule of games. Many of the Springfield Soccer Club teams play up an age group in order to be more prepared for tournament play. Also, this Fall several Springfield Soccer Club Girls teams played in Boys Divisions in order to increase their level of competition. “With all of the rainouts and reschedules it was a difficult Fall season to get any rhythm of play. Luckily, for our players and teams having our own Indoor Facility allowed us to continue to train while others were left out in the rain. The Fall season is a big one for us when it comes to development and increasing our standard of play. Having some teams capture championships is just an added bonus as the spring
season for our club is more about competition.” said Jeremy Alumbaugh Director of Soccer Operations for the Springfield Soccer Club.
All Under 14 and below Springfield Soccer Club teams have resumed training as well as competing in the Springfield Soccer Club Indoor InnerLeague. Congratulations to all of the teams on a fine fall season.

KC Wizards Will Be Moving Dirt in Kansas
From the Hillcrest Road website comes news that OnGoal CEO/Wizards President Robb Heineman has an update on the progress of our stadium project.
Mike over at Down the Byline does a great job of summarizing the details of the announcement:
The big news is that Heineman states that the team will be permanently staying out at the Village West area. This hopefully ends all the speculation of where the Wizards stadium site would go, whether in Missouri or in Kansas. He also states that we’re likely going to start seeing dirt moved out at the site starting next week.
Between now and March 1st, Heineman says the Wizards will be working on; finalizing stadium design, get renderings out sooner than later, signing the formal agreements (including those signed by the Unified Government, the state, and Cerner), and start getting the stadium up. The big thing, he says, is the selling of the STAR Bonds that needs to occur between now and March 1st.
He also talks about the final step with the stadium, the marketing the team and the brand of the Wizards. Heineman calls it a “first chance to make a second impression to all of you”. Something that many fans will find appealing. Some fans I’ve talked to have felt that OnGoal has dropped the ball in some areas of marketing the team. Hopefully this will be a new beginning in the look of the Wizards.
A formal announcement should be coming in January Heineman says.
