Nebraska Omaha Mavericks

Truman State – 5
Southwest Baptist Bearcats – 0
The Truman women’s soccer team lit up the scoreboard on Senior Day, as a pair of forwards – senior Isabel Gaeta and freshman Olivia Hayes – scored twice each en route to a 5-0 Bulldog romp of Southwest Baptist on Saturday afternoon. Blaire Baker, Camdenton 2008, and Ashley Wilson, Neosho 2007, each played today as they have in the majority of the games this season.

Northwest Missouri State Bearcats – 1
Emporia State Hornets – 0
Northwest Missouri State forward Andrea Tritz’ fifth goal of the season and 13th of her career was the difference in a 1-0 Bearcat win against Emporia State on a cold and blustery day at Bearcat Pitch Saturday. It’s the ninth win for Northwest this season, which is one shy of the program record. Shannon FitzGerald, Catholic 2006, started her 11th game of the season, playing 74 minutes in the win. She has a goal and 2 assists this season, putting her in the Top 5 in scoring this year.

Central Missouri State Mules – 1
Missouri Western Griffons – 0
The Missouri Western soccer team played a tough Central Missouri squad to a 1-0 loss on their home turf. The Griffons entered the game looking to avenge a 1-0 loss to Central Missouri suffered just 7 days earlier. Central Missouri scored with 16:18 left in the first half on a dead ball foul just outside the box.

Southwest Baptist Bearcats won both of their MIAA matches this weekend. On Thursday they traveled to Emporia State where they won 3-1.

On Saturday, they went to Joplin where they dismantled the MSSU Lions, 6- 1. SBU’s Rhiane Mitchell, who entered the week at the very top of the NCAA’s points and goals leader board, scored three goals and recorded one assist. Nicola Cousins added SBU’s other three goals in that game. Mitchell now has 10 goals. The SBU season record is 17.

Natascha Lord (Waynesville 2008) and Ashley Wilson (Neosho 2007) came on as substitutes in both games for the Bearcats, with Lord getting a shot on goal Saturday at MSSU.

The women won 2-1 in overtime with Brooke Ryan getting the game-winner in the 5th minute of OT. The men won 1-0 on a first half goal by Nick Landon. Zack Hay (Kickapoo 2008) started his 4th straight game, getting a shot on goal as well. Brandon Moore (Rolla 2005) is a captain and 3 year starter for the Miners.

Drury Panthers LogoThe Drury Panthers women opened GLVC play this weekend with a pair of wins, rebounding well from last weeks shocking loss to Harding. Friday night Drury beat UMSL 1-0, which included Anne Prenger (Catholic 2008) who came on as a substitute for the Tritons.

Micah Little’s corner kick was deflected by UMSL keeper Hannah Sayre, but Colvin-Fritz was there to score off the rebound at 2:15 and give the defending GLVC champion Panthers all the offense they would need despite being outshot 11-6 in the contest.

Their game Sunday against Southern Indiana was a 2-0 win, on a pair of goals late in the first half by Alyssa Alcorn and Melissa Perry.

The Men also defeated UMSL, by a 2-1 score, with Steve Wilczewski (Glendale 2006) getting the ultimate game-winner in the 16th. Marco Cherisma got his first goal of the season as well. Kyler Temple (Kickapoo 2008) and Adam Peterson (Kickapoo 2007) came on as substitutes in the game.

Missouri Southern LionsThe Missouri Southern Lions women had a tough opening to the MIAA season, losing to Central Missouri State in overtime on Thursday followed by the tough loss to SBU on Saturday (see above).

Brianna McKenzie (Webb City 2008) came on as a substitute in both games, while Lindsay Altman (Joplin 2008) and Brianna Ragains (Lebanon 2008) played on Thursday, with Ragains getting a SOG. On Saturday Randi Russell (Joplin 2008) got her first minutes in goal, playing the final 18 minutes of the game, giving up one goal and making one save.

The men did not play. Their scheduled game at Rockhurst was canceled due to the weather.

The 2-1 overtime win over the Cal-Poly Mustangs on Friday was the result of freshman Jordan Barnes stealing an errant back pass and beating the goalkeeper with a shot to the far post just 1:36 into the overtime period.

Southwest Baptist Bearcats Get Past Drury Panthers

Posted on by

SBU Bearcats host Drury Panthers With a single goal, scored from a scramble in the box after a floater was deflected off the crossbar by Jessie Sanderson, the Bearcats earned a numerical advantage on their regional rival in this afternoons exhibition game. Coach Benjamin Wade was quoted in a release in advance of the game

“We have six line changes, so hockey fans will feel right at home with the players switching in and out so much.”

and the Panthers felt it as they traveled with only 3 on the bench today.

The disadvantage to those numbers is that the Bearcats need more time learning positions and teammates in advance of their first game of the season next week at Oakland City (IN). The MIAA preseason poll puts the Bearcats in the middle of the pack, at #5, for a team that returns four starters from last year’s 9-8-3 team, which finished 8-5-1 in the MIAA. With newcomer Rhiane Mitchell (#14, England) providing pace up top, and sophomore Johanna Olsson (Sweden) in goal coming in with only 34 minutes of playing time last season, ensuring he has a solid defense in place with be Wade’s key priority. Local recruits Blair Baker (Camdenton) and Tasha Lord (Waynesville) both got minutes in the 2nd half in the attack as did Ashley Wilson (Neosho) at wing midfield.

For the Panthers, it was an opportunity to get minutes for Meredith Hall and Katy McLain as well the starting 11 we saw Saturday. Kelsey Long appears to be in mid-season form already and the opportunities the Panthers had today all came from her ability to create space, win the 1v1 battle in midfield and send her teammates into the box. Emily West and Bailey Randol (pictured above in white, in what became a collision with Denarika Bostwick that drew loud exclamations from the SBU football team on the sideline) worked incredibly hard in front of captain Chloe Moushey to frustrate the Bearcat attack. Still early but the Panthers continue to create their own luck, going into a season that has them ranked #2 in the GLVC.
