RockBridge, Brittany Kirkpatrick, Nixa (2013)

Want a pick for the final? How about Rock Bridge vs Nixa, a pair of teams who last met in the State Quarterfinals last May. Nixa will have to get past Class 2 Bishop DuBourg today and face off against either Parkview or Parkway West Saturday morning to reach the Final. That game’s a toss up and if the Eagles have gotten their mojo back, I expect to see them in the Final.

Rock Bridge will have a more difficult path. Their first game is against Jackson, ranked #13th in the first Girls poll this season. Their reward if they achieve that will likely be #15 ranked Glendale, who face Poplar Bluff on Friday evening. Regardless, it should be quite a final on Saturday at 3:30 pm.

FRIDAY April 15th

BISHOP DUBOURG – 2
NIXA Eagles – 7
DuBourg opened the scoring early but the Eagles fought back with a pair of goals late in the 1st half. Lauren Moats scored with a shot in the box and later DeHart got free for a goal.

Match Stats, First half: Nixa goals by Lauren Moats, assisted by Shelby Zielke; Rachel Murphy, assisted by Payton DeHart. Second Half: Murphy, assisted by DeHart; Bishop DuBourg Goal; Courtney Frerichs unassisted, Murphy, assisted by DeHart; Keley Bartell unassisted; Zielke unassisted.

ROCK BRIDGE Bruins – 3
JACKSON Indians – 2
Update – Rock Bridge came back with the final two goals to earn the win against the Indians. Midway through the second half, Anna Alioto tapped in a cross from Carmen Boessen, arriving as the ball dropped in the wind at the far post. When freshman Laurie Frew put a thru ball into her path, Boessen beat the keeper to the ball, cut to the middle and scored into an open net for the final margin.

It’s cold and miserable but both teams moved the ball well.

POPLAR BLUFF – 0
GLENDALE – 6
A number of good opportunities for the Falcons but only Emily Cline was able to finish one in the first half. Alix Opfer has scored a pair in the second half.
Match Stats: Alix Opfer (2G/1A), Becca Burton (2G), Emily Cline (1G/1A), Sarah Powell (1G).

PARKVIEW Vikings – 3
PARKWAY WEST Longhorns – 2
The Vikings, playing with the wind, have a pair of goals at halftime from Becca Castillo and Holly Messick. The Longhorns battled back with a nice shot by Rachel Alizadeh who sent a left footed shot to the far post, after running from right to left outside the box. The Vikings responded with a goal of their own within two minutes when Becca Castillo, who scored the Vikings 2nd goal as well late in the first half, pounced on a loose ball and buried it when Parkway’s keeper knocked down a cross but was unable to clear it or hold it. The Longhorns got one more in the final 5 minutes but were unable to get the tying goal.

Nicole Ortega, Catholic (2014) & Miriam Melugin, Kickapoo (2014)

A prediction, is that what you want? How about Kickapoo vs Catholic, a chance to test each other after their game two weeks ago. The Fightin’ Irish open today with Francis Howell, a team that just jumped to #7 in the St Louis Large School rankings after shutting out Pattonville 2-0 on Saturday, a team they lost to in the Quarterfinals last year who went on to play in the Class 3 Final against Liberty. If they can get past that challenge, it’s Jeff City or Oak Park, either a lesser challenge.

Kickapoo’s path to the Final begins with a game against 1st year program Republic, coached by long-time Kickapoo assistant Mike Hines. That leads to a Saturday morning match up with Lee’s Summit West most likely. The Titan’s, ranked #7 in the state, are battle tested following the weekend matches in the Heart of America Classic and an 0-4 loss to St Teresa’s Academy last night. LSW faces Heritage, out of Rogers AR, on Friday but should get past the 7A School. The 2nd round games will be at 11:30 am Saturday at Kickapoo to get to the final that evening at 5:15 pm.

Friday April 15th

FRANCIS HOWELL – 3
SPRINGFIELD CATHOLIC – 4 (1st OT)
The Fightin’ Irish needed all their tools in the game today. A single goal in the first half, followed by a goal early in the second half, gave them a 2 goal lead that would not last. Howell fought back with 3 straight goals. Only a goal in stoppage time by senior Rebecca Mayus got the Irish into overtime. The game-winner was scored by ?

Natalie Smid scored the 1st half goal, Shelby Hatz scored early in the second and then Francis Howell got goals from A Rodriguez and a pair from J. Catalano before Rebecca Mayus, assisted by Andrea Parker, tied the game.
