ROLLA, Mo. – Missouri S&T crashed through a couple of barriers this season on its way to winning a share of the Great Lakes Valley Conference regular season title – then cleared another hurdle Sunday that could also lead it to the NCAA Tournament.

The Miners got two first half goals from Spencer Brinkmeyer and recorded their school record 11th shutout of the season as they knocked off Bellarmine 3-0 at the S&T Soccer field in the opening round of the GLVC Tournament. The victory sends the Miners to the semifinals for the first time, where they will play Friday at Northern Kentucky at 7:30 p.m. (Eastern time).

NKU, the tournament’s No. 2 seed, beat Rockhurst 2-1 Sunday and will host the final two rounds of the tournament as top-seeded Lewis lost 3-0 Sunday to Indianapolis. Indianapolis will face Quincy, a 3-2 overtime winner over Drury, in the other semifinal Friday.

In addition, the Miners’ victory puts S&T – currently ranked third in the NCAA Midwest regional rankings – in a good position to reach the NCAA Division II Tournament for the first time in school history. The top four teams in the region will advance to the national tournament and two of the three teams immediately behind the Miners lost Sunday in the opening round of the conference tournament.

Brinkmeyer put the Miners on the board at the 7:16 mark, heading a free kick from Ryan Muich back across the goalmouth and past Knight goalkeeper Matthew Soyka. The sophomore defender, who earlier in the week was named to the All-GLVC first team at his position, struck again with 5:45 left in the half when he scored again by heading a ball in. On the second occasion, it was on a corner kick from Kyle Schraier, where Brinkmeyer was able to get in front of the net to score.

The Miners added a third goal in the second half, as Jervis Atagana took a feed from Mario Calderon and put a shot past Soyka to close the scoring. S&T’s defense allowed only five of the 19 Knight shots to get to Pat McNamee, who turned all five away to record his ninth shutout of the season. McNamee made the save of the game in the 67th minute – moments before Atagana’s goal – when he stopped a one-timer by GLVC goal scoring leader Brad Barraclough from point blank range to preserve the shutout.

Missouri S&T, ranked 25th nationally in the NSCAA Division II rankings, improved to 10-4-3 on the year with the victory while Bellarmine closed the season with a mark of 10-5-2.

INDIANAPOLIS – University of Wisconsin-Parkside junior forward Shannon Becker (DePere, Wis.) has been selected the 2010 Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Year and Bellarmine University junior forward Abby Schuhmann (Louisville, Ky.) is the 2010 GLVC Defensive Player of the Year.

The two GLVC standouts headline the 2010 All-GLVC First Team as determined by the league’s head coaches.

Becker, a two-time All-GLVC First Team selection and the 2008 GLVC Freshman of the Year, helped pace the Rangers to second place in the GLVC with a 12-1-1 conference record. She posted 30 points on 12 goals and six assists against conference opponents which included four game-winning goals. Overall, Becker has notched 38 points on 15 goals and eight assists. She has fired a league-best 90 shots and paced the Rangers’ league-leading offense.

Schuhmann, who claimed the 2009 GLVC Defensive Player of the Year Award, helped guide the Knights to a 10-4-2 overall record during the regular season. She anchors a Bellarmine defense that has limited opponents to 12 goals this season, including just eight goals in conference play. The Knights own a 0.55 goals against average and Schuhmann has also chipped in offensively delivering a goal and assist against league opponents.

Quincy goalkeeper Jodi Chapie (St. Louis, Mo.) is the 2010 GLVC Freshman of the Year. Chapie helped the Lady Hawks post a 12-3-3 overall record and a 9-2-3 conference mark. She maintained a 0.34 goals against average in conference games by limiting opponents to four goals in 13 matches. Chapie was also named to the All-GLVC Second Team for her efforts.

Southern Indiana’s Krissy Engelbrecht has been selected the 2010 GLVC Coach of the Year. Engelbrecht guided the Eagles to a 12-5-1 overall record and a 10-3-1 league mark. The Eagles tied for third place in the GLVC and secured a home match for the GLVC Quarterfinals as the No. 4 seed. The award marks the first GLVC Coach of the Year honor for Engelbrecht who is 58-76-9 in eight seasons at USI.

Bears Earn #2 Seed in MVC Soccer Playoffs

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The Missouri State women’s soccer team (10-5-2, 4-1-1) capped the regular season with a 1-0 shutout of Evansville (5-11-1, 2-4-0) at Plaster Field on Thursday night. The win gives the Bears a bye into the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament semifinals and the No. 2 seed.

Missouri State got a late goal from freshman Tiffany Laughlin to put the Bears ahead. Grace Cross picked up an Evansville turnover and found Laughlin. She drilled a high shot from 20 yards away. The shot trickled through the Purple Aces’ keeper and into the net for the game-winner in the 85th minute. The goal was Laughlin’s fourth of the year and second game-winning goal.

Sophomores Michelle Sommer and Nia Williams racked up five shots apiece. MSU outshot Evansville 23 to two for the match. Junior goalkeeper Jessica Teahan was virtually untested, making the save on the only shot she faced. It was her fifth shutout of the season and third against an MVC foe.

“We had control most of the match,” said head coach Rob Brewer. “But they are a dangerous team. Our defense kept them in check and did a good job of taking away their chances.”

The win is Missouri State’s 10th of the season, the third time in five seasons to reach that total. The second-place finish in conference ties last season’s mark for the best conference finish in school history.

The Bears will now await an opponent for next Friday’s semifinal match in Omaha, Neb.

MYSA High School Tryout Update

Posted on by

Missouri Youth Soccer Association logoI’ve received several tryout notices recently that I haven’t posted. Here’s why:

For the 2010-2011 season, tryouts actually were opened state-wide on June 15th, 2010. I know that most competitive HS boys tryouts have already taken place. Clubs can have additional tryouts throughout the year as long as they are not violating the MYSA recruiting policies and MSHAA participation policies. Supplemental HS Boys tryouts cannot be held until after the HS boys season ends.

Thanks,

Jacob Griesenauer | Executive Director
Missouri Youth Soccer Association
1270 Jungermann, St. Peters, MO 63376
Phone 636-936-3676, ext. 103
jake@mysa.org | www.mysa.org

The final day of the High School Boys season is Saturday November 20th when the Finals are held in St Louis. However, apparently once a team finishes MSHSAA play (JV players or teams that are eliminated during District playoffs) the boys may then begin the tryout process.

I am happy to post any and all Tryout notices. Send them to Ole at SGFsoccer.com.

CBC Cadets Get OT Win Over SLUH Jr Billikens

Posted on by

CBC Cadets – 2 (2nd OT)
SLUH Jr Billikens – 1
With 52 seconds remaining in the final overtime period, sr Mike Pavlisin collected an attempted clearance, settled the ball and fired from 22 yards to the far post to bring the Cadets all the way back for the win tonight. Pick your storyline – preparing for Districts, or avenging an early September 1-3 loss, it was the boys who were responsible for final result tonight according to Head Coach Terry Michler. Starting with a players-only daily meeting today, reinforced during pre-game and mid-game huddles, the team took responsibility for and delivered on their commitment to win.

It was the Jr Billikens who looked most dangerous in the first half, achieving good success down the right flank in particular. It took a goal line clearance by AJ Cochran early to keep the Cadets close and it was scoreless at halftime. 9 minutes into the second half, SLUH finally broke through. The goal came from a set piece, approximately 30 yards out with the shot getting past the wall and then, shockingly, past the keeper as it slipped underneath him as he went to the ground to smother the ball.

It took another ten minutes but CBC came back, with four touches bringing the ball up from the back, finding the winger who slipped it into sr Jake Bond who in turn sent a diagonal ball into the box that Tim Michel ran onto and one-timed past the keeper into the far side netting (video). The Cadets kept the pressure up but were unable to get into the box again until the final minute of the game. A throw-in, deep in SLUH’s half, led to a cross into the box. Sr Mike Pavilsin, a playmaker, was waiting and collected the attempted clearance outside the box, put it down and with his next touch sent a laser shot to the far side for the game-winner.

The win sends the Cadets into the District playoffs with the proper frame of mind. CBC hosts the first round games on Saturday and await the winner of the Parkway Central vs Pattonville game on Monday. DeSmet is the second seed and will face Parkway North on Monday on the other side of the bracket. The final is Wednesday November 3rd and the winner moves on to face the District 4 champion which should be #1 seed Chaminade or #2 seed SLUH. Tuesday November 9th is the date for Sectionals.
