Friday Soccer Report – Vikings Win Opener, Chiefs Fall in KC

Posted on March 26, 2010 by Ole

Shelby Stewart, Parkview Vikings (2010)

Parkview Vikings – 8
Carthage Tigers – 0
On a cold evening on the turf at JFK Stadium, the Vikings attacked the visiting Tigers this evening much like their namesakes did 1200 years ago. While the Tiger defense was stout and worked hard to keep the attackers at bay, the ramparts were breached once the the Vikings applied their secret weapon – speed! The opening goal came as senior Shelby Stewart, a Missouri State Bear signee, found space and made a direct run down the center of the defense from 40 yards out. Her shot as she entered the box found the lower left corner in the 18th minute and the the walls quickly came down.

Parkview scored three more goals in in the next six minutes to take control of the game. Junior Kelsey Loderhose scored after winning the battle for a ball in the box with the GK and a defender, sr Jessica Maerz (Lynn University) hammered one into the roof of the net after a run down the left side and Loderhose got her second of the game as she ran onto a corner kick from Maerz.

The Vikings got four more in the second, from Maerz, McKenzie Payton, Loderhose and ? for the final margin. The Tigers were able to get into the Vikings box several times during the game, with both Jessica Diaz and Jamileth Henriquez creating problems for the defense but were unable to score. The highlight for the ladies came late when GK Phylicia Lewis stopped a penalty kick that was awarded for a hard tackle in the box.

Nixa Eagles – 3
Lebanon Yellowjackets – 0
Nixa got goals from Courtney Frerichs and a brace from newcomer Lauren Moats, to earn the win. Kelsey Bartell had assists on the 1st and 3rd goal, Rachel Murphy on the 2nd goal. Shutout: Kristin Miller

Blue Springs South Jaguars – 2
Kickapoo Chiefs – 1

Park Hill South Panthers – 2
Ozark Tigers – 1
Alicia Collard gave the Tigers the initial lead on her goal in the first half, assisted by Shannon Lacker. Park Hill knotted the score a minute into the second half on a quick counter attack. The Panther’s got the game-winner in the 67th minute on another quick counter attack. The Panther’s are ranked #10 in the preseason poll (Glendale is #9).

Jefferson City Jays – 1
Hazelwood West – 2 (2nd OT)
From STLhighschoolSports: The Wildcats win on a goal with 3 min remaining in the 2nd OT by Suzy Ryan. The Wildcats were clearly the more skilled of the two teams but they only had one goal to show for it in regulation. Kim Hawn put her team up 1-0 with a high rocket over the outstretched hands of Jays keeper Kelsey Vaught with 14 minutes left in the first half.

Jefferson City’s Kinsey Shouse tied the game 1-1 with 19:32 remaining in the second half on a penalty kick.on a low screamer past Hazelwood West goalkeeper Ashton Aubuchon, who dove but had no chance to stop it.
The win helped Hazelwood West improve to 4-0 while Jeff City fell to 3-1.

Bekah Bade, Catholic scoring from a corner kick

Springfield Catholic – 10
Neosho Wildcats – 0
The Wildcats ran into a buzzsaw tonight at Cooper #1 as the Irish wasted no time attacking the goal, scoring 3 goals in the first 10 minutes. The scoring pace slowed but the game still finished in the 60th minute this evening as Bekah Bade slotted in the final 2 goals, both scored in the second half, to go with her first half header (pictured). Maddy Bailes added a pair of goals, one directly from a corner kick, along with a pair of assists. Erin Fitzgerald, Conner Guy, Shelby Hatz, Andrea Parker and Natalie Smid all scored as well.

Logan-Rogersville Wildcats – 2
Branson Pirates – 0
A pair of goals in the first 20 minutes provided the difference in this early season COC match up. The first goal came from freshman Haley Weeks, followed by jr Stevie Heidzig who once again scored on a direct kick against the Pirates. This one came from 25 yards out and without the dramatics of her OT game-winner at Branson last year. Second straight shutout for GK Kelsay Leingang, who won in PK’s Monday against Carthage.

Helias Crusaders – 4
Waynesville Tigers – 0
From the Jeff City News-Tribune: Up 2-0 at the half Tuesday, the Helias Lady Crusaders were in control of their game with the Waynesville Lady Tigers. They just didn’t look smooth doing it. “It was a little bit of chaos,” Helias soccer coach Chuck Register said. “We needed to settle down a little bit, start thinking a little bit instead of just reacting.”

Ozark Tigers – 5
Harrison Lady Goblins – 0
From the new OzarkTigerSoccer.wordpress.com website – Senior forward Alicia Collard (pictured above with freshman Morgan Davidson) opened the game up for the Lady Tigers with a hat trick in the first twelve minutes of play.

Hickman Kewpies – 2
Pembroke Hill – 0
From the Missourian The Hickman girls soccer team has been practicing corner kicks lately. It paid off on Tuesday evening when the Kewpies scored two goals off of corner kicks to defeat visiting Pembroke Hill 2-0.

Monday Soccer Report – Ozark And LogRog Open With Wins

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Ole

Logan Rogersville Wildcats, GK *

Logan-Rogersville Wildcats – 1 (via PKs)
Carthage Tigers – 0
At halftime, both teams have had one good opportunity with Carthage’s shot on goal stopped well by Wildcat GK Kelsay Leingang who got down fast in front of a ball headed for the corner. LogRog has had several opportunities in the box but the only shot went wide right past the upright.

The game went to PKs following a pair of scoreless OT periods that saw both keepers making important saves to keep the clean sheets, including the save by Leingang of LogRog who stopped the Tiger’s #12 who made a 40 yard run into the box before unleashing the close range shot that was pushed wide in the 2nd OT. The win goes to to the Wildcats as they open the season for the second straight year with a win in extra time over their COC foe.

UPDATE – From the Carthage Press: Rogers said Logan-Rogersville scored on two of its penalty kicks after the clock ran out while Carthage was unable to convert on any of its free chances.

UPDATE – Lebanon Yellowjackets vs Helias Crusaders – canceled due to field conditions, scheduled to be played April 30th now

Ozark Tigers – 1
Springfield Catholic – 0
The Tigers scored in the 17th minute tonight as freshman Morgan Davidson looped a ball to the far post, reminiscent of Clint Dempsey’s recent goal for Fulham. Not a bad introduction to the varsity for the Coach’s daughter as the Tigers held on to defeat the Irish.

The game went through several cycles with early pressure by Catholic until the Tigers began finding openings down the center of the field. Ozark was playing a 3-2-3-2 formation tonight, with Rachel Haden and Megan Stodden both positioned as defensive midfielders/stoppers in front of sweeper Megan Jenisch. The central midfield role was filled by Megan Davidson initially, or Megan Gunnels when she would move back from her front-runner position where she began with Alicia Collard. With Stodden or Haden making forward runs based upon conditions, the Tigers were able to get numbers in the middle while offering a stout defense against the Irish’s potent attack.

Hemphill was the busier keeper tonight and made several important saves, especially late as Catholic began to solve the defensive riddle they faced with the unusual formation. She pushed one shot up and over, followed that with a point blank save she pushed wide and finished with a little help from her outside defender, Keysha Burns, who cleared a shot that got past her keeper (see video below), all in the final 5 minutes of the game.

The Irish, with a pair of quality keepers, opened with Rachel Scott who was hamstrung by the early goal and came up big on a late opportunity that she parried and was cleared off the line by Carsen Baron, fresh from her basketball adventures (along with 4 other soccer teammates). Megan Goetzinger got help from her defense on one broken play and came up big on several late counter-attacks by the Tigers to keep the Irish close.

Christian County High School Girls Soccer

Posted on March 5, 2010 by Ole

A beautiful day and time for a road trip to check out the Christian County squads and how the first week is treating them. First stop Nixa where Coach Evan Palmer was demonstrating some of the moves that held him in good stead as a Missouri State Bear. The Lady Eagles open 2010 coming off of their best season ever in 2009. Nixa won 16 games, blowing past the previous record of 12, scoring 80 goals while giving up only 30, both records as well. The team won its first tournament taking first in the Christian County Tournament while the JV squad was also setting records at 15-3.

Hannah Barber, a sparkplug and All-Star in 2009, is the most significant loss. The team brings back a solid core, starting in the back with junior keeper Kristin Miller, Team MVP in 2009, fronted by senior Maddie Chandler who was Defensive MVP. Jo Pavlowsky and Ashlyn Robillard join Chandler as the senior leaders for this still young squad that includes Regional 1st teamers Rachel Murphy, a sophomore forward and Kelsey Haist, a junior midfielder. Add in Sophomore Abby Turnbull at sweeper and junior front runner Kelsey Bartell and the Eagles are prepared to challenge again this year. The Eagles add sophomore transfer Lauren Moats, who won a Kentucky State Cup with Javanon before moving here when dad Kyle accepted the Missouri State AD job, and freshman Brittany Kirkpatrick to this developing squad. The final game of the season came in the District semi-finals with a tough loss to Glendale. While they won’t surprise anyone this year, I suspect their goals will be higher and they’ll have a solid opportunity to achieve them.

Befitting the weather and a 4th day of practice, the Tigers were the most active squad I’ve seen at this early stage. Working small spaces and transition, this looks like a team on a mission. When last seen, the girls were being shut out by a Chiefs team in the District semi-final that the Tigers had hammered 3-0 two games prior. With seven returning seniors, five of whom will likely be playing college soccer next Fall, the focus is understandable.

Starting with 1st Team All-State sr. goalkeeper Paige Hemphill (SBU Bearcats), sr. Megan Jenisch and jr. Jayme Braun on defense, sr. Megan Stodden and sr. Rachel Haden (SBU Bearcats) in the midfield and sr. Alicia Collard and sr. Megan Gunnels at forward, the Tigers are prepared to go toe-to-toe with with any team in the area. The team has added one transfer, Shannon Lacker, from Ft Zumwalt South in St Louis. There are 9 underclassmen who have another year of experience and the largest senior class I think we’ll find in the region. Will this be their year?

Kickapoo Shootout, Day One

Posted on April 17, 2009 by Ole

Lafayette Lancers – 1
Smith-Cotton Tigers – 0
Niña Walters scores in the 68th minute for the Lancers. The goal came from an attack that found the Tigers struggling to clear and Walter’s pounced on a ball just outside the six yard box and lifted it to the opposite of the net. Lafayette faces the host Chiefs at 11:30 am on Saturday.

Jackson Indians – 2 (2 OT)
Kickapoo Chiefs – 1
Chiefs tie the game in stoppage as McKenna Adam’s heads in a cross from Amanda Dominguez. Jackson gets a game-winner 3 min into 2nd OT from SEMO-bound Bobbi Jo Schlick. She describes her game-winner in the video below.

Glendale Falcons – 1
Rockwood Summit Falcons – 2 (1st OT)
34th min goal by Rockwood’s Meghan Herndon (#2) holds up until the 67th when Jeni Frewin scores from a scramble in the box from a corner kick. Glendale had shots off the crossbar and upright in the final 15 min of regulation but couldn’t get the winner.

That fell to Jr forward Kristin Bright, who turned her defender and buried her shot over the GK head from just inside the box. Kristin partners up with fellow front runner Paige Meggison, who provided the service on the goal, to describe it.

To update you, Rockwood is in District 6 with Eureka, Lafayette, Marquette, Parkway South and Washington. Eureka took the honors at Ozarks early season tourney and Parkway South beat Kickapoo last weekend at the Parkway College Showcase. A very tough public school lineup. Summit hoisted the plaque two years ago, and many of the current players were on that team but lost in the semifinals last year to Lindbergh.

Ozark Tigers – 1 (1st OT)
Jeff City Jays – 0
Alicia Collard ran onto Rachel Haden’s header that sent her into the box unmarked 6 min into the 1st OT. She describes it below. Pictured at right is the Jay’s Karla Steiner shooting against defender Jayme Braun and GK Paige Hemphill.

Springfield Catholic – 1 (2nd OT)
Rock Bridge Bruins – 0
Scoreless for almost 100 minutes, the Fightin’ Irish avoid PK’s when sophomore Shelby Hatz converts her break away opportunity in stoppage time. The ball came from senior Maddie Renner and Hatz found the focus necessary to finish the play after several earlier opportunities. Find out the difference in the video below.

Parkview Vikings – 2
Parkway West Longhorns – 7
After going down 0-2 at half, the Vikings battled back and found themselves down 2-3 midway through the second half. Shelby Stewart scored two goals to keep the Viking close, both on through-balls followed by Shelby burning a defender with speed and beating the keeper in 1 v. 1 situations. The defense was not able to hold up, however, and the Vikings gave up 5 goals in the second half to lose 2-7.

Smith-Cotton Tigers – 3
Kickapoo Chiefs – 1
The Tigers came out stronger in this 2nd match for both teams this evening, get a pair of goals. The first came as a pair of passes created an opening allowing ? to bury a ball at close range. Mizzou-bound Jessica Greer got the 2nd as the Tigers got numbers into the box and she slid to the far post where she confidently buried a ball that came in over the defense. The Chiefs got one back as sophomore McKenna Adams follows her initial shot and picks up the rebound of Abby Anderson’s shot to go into the 6 yard box and bury a fine left-footed shot into the far side netting.

Smith-Cotton got their 3rd goal in the 2nd half for the final margin. That will make getting up for an 8am match tomorrow a bit easier.

Tuesday’s Southwest Missouri Girls High School Soccer Report

Neosho Wildcats - 2 (2nd OT)
Willard Tigers – 1
With a lineup loaded with seniors, including captain Shelby Murray (#4, pictured on the ball), the Wildcats are off to their best start in recent memory winning their 3rd game in 4 days following a 2-0-1 weekend in Christian County. The Wildcats opened the scoring in the 7th minute when Murray turned a pair of defenders before putting her shot past the keeper from 10 yards out. Willard will not win a lot of style points but I was impressed with the positive attitude and hard work of the team and when their midfield general, senior captain Amanda Rozier (#12), picked up a loose ball in the offensive end her quick release pass to Chelsea Wolff on the left soon went into Natalie Waddell, who’s simple touch put senior Ali Applby in front of the net. Applby reliably buried the ball in the 18th and soon it was the Tigers who were pressing the attack, energized by the result.

The second half saw both teams moving the ball into the attack as the Wildcats in particular realized that their ball movement of the 1st half had not gotten the result desired. The result was an increase in opportunities but sophomore Brittany Dunn kept the Tigers in the game with her work in between the uprights. Replacing senior Morgan Ulesich, injured during the Christian County Tournament, the Tigers stayed close and counter-attacked regularly.

It wasn’t until early in the 2nd OT that the Wildcats were finally able to break through for the win, with the golden goal coming from Shelby Murray. Nice recovery from Monday’s PK loss to cross-town rival Joplin, and Neosho positions themselves for a District run.

Bolivar Liberators – 3
Logan-Rogersville Wildcats – 1
Sophomore Jonna Welch scored a pair of goals this evening with Danielle Sharp getting the 3rd goal for the Liberators. #22 Hannah McGaughy scored for LogRog at Bolivar

As noted by a Liberator player, Log-Rog was a hard team to score on because they get so bunched up around the goal. A very promising first year team!

Glendale Falcons – 3
Joplin Eagles – 0

Kickapoo Chiefs – 9
Waynesville Tigers – 0

Rolla Bulldogs – 1
Parkview Vikings – 0
Four games into the season the Lady Bulldogs have yet to be scored on. And on Tuesday RHS got a goal from freshman Taylor Banholzer 24 minutes in, which stood for a 1-0 victory at the Bray Sports Complex.

The first half found the Rolla Bulldogs getting the better of the play, possessing the ball a bit more and getting a couple of solid scoring opportunities. McKenzi Payton and Caylin Manary were able to keep the Vikings in it, with strong defensive play and goalkeeping respectively. Midway through the first 40 minutes of play, the Bulldogs were able to finish an opportunity and take the 1-0 lead. VIkings lose a pair in Rolla.

Lebanon Yellowjackets - 4
West Plains Zizzers – 0
The Yellowjackets took a 3-0 lead in the 1st half on the strength of senior Hannah Winkels 2 goals (and 2 assists) on the night. The final goal was scored from the penalty spot in the 2nd half. Zizzers Stung by Yellowjackets.

Camdenton Lakers – 8
Hillcrest Hornets – 1
Junior Latea LaRue and senior Stephanie Kirvan each had three goals and sophomore Ashley Paschel had 2 goals. Hillcrest’s Kamay Freeman had a really nice hustle goal early in the first half to make the score 2-1. Camdenton earns its first Ozark Conference win of the season.

Nixa Eagles – 9
Branson Pirates – 0
Nixa wins its first official conference game on the girls side (the boys are defending Conference Champions). Goals were scored by Rachel Murphy, Jo Pavlowsky (2), Kelsey Haist (2), Halie Owen, Katie Bolton (2), and Chelsea Cole. Assists went to Courtney Frerichs, Kelsey Bartell, Vicki Rische (2), Tatum Mangum, and Ashlyn Robillard.

Catholic Fightin’ Irish – 4
Marshfield Blue Jays – 0
Courtney Devlin scored the first goal in the 36th minute when she knocked a nice cross from Emily Loethen into an open net. Bekah Bade gave the Irish some breathing room in the 46th minute when she knocked a ball from Kathleen Garrison by the keeper inside the right post. Maddy Renner scored her first goal of the season in the 57th minute, assisted by Bade, when her shot from 15 yards got by the keeper. Jordan Banasik found the end of a Mandy Bailes corner kick giving Catholic the four goal victory.

The Irish article also notes the next game is Thursday against Ozark, last seen in 2008 getting a 1-0 win for Coach Davidson’s 500th. Hmm, I wonder what the rematch will be like?

Pleasant Hope – 0
Greenwood Blue Jays – 5

Ozark Tigers – 10
Carthage Tigers – 0
Nine Ozark Tigers scored on Tuesday night as they defeated Carthage 10-0. Taylor Jordan scored the game winner 35 seconds into the game on an assist from Alicia Collard. Collard finished the evening with 5 assists.
