Cassie Farrell, Hillcrest Hornets (2013)

Hillcrest Hornets – 1
Willard Tigers – 1
In an entertaining game that featured a pair of teams that will rely heavily on youth, it was the Hornet’s who struck first this evening. Starting with a 50/50 ball won in the middle by sophomore Shanon Thomas, her midfield partner Raechal Gramm picked up the loose ball and sent senior Courtney Busby down the right side. Busby’s speed and hard work was rewarded when she lofted a cross to the far side that was met by sophomore Cassie Farrell perfectly, heading it past the keeper in the 47th minute.

The Tiger’s, surprised by the athletic and hard tackling Hornets, fought back and put tremendous pressure on the Hornets who calmly responded to the challenge. It was only a 79th minute direct kick (see below) by freshman Miriam Dashtipour that allowed the Tiger’s to continue play. Two scoreless overtime periods led to penalty kicks which were won by the Hornets. Hillcrest scored two out of the first four and while the Tigers had three shots blocked by Hornet’s goalkeeper ? and the final shot went wide, giving the Hornet’s the win on a 2-1 margin.

Joplin McAuley
– 3
From the Neosho Daily News: The Lady Wildcats, sparked by the scoring barrage of goals by Shelby Murray, defeated Joplin McAuley, 6-3, Tuesday at Dover Hill Soccer Complex in Joplin. Neosho came out and set the tone early in the game, scoring four goals 20 minutes into the contest and that allowed the team to give coach Steve Schnackenberg his first win as the head girls soccer coach.

Melanie White also scored for Neosho while Arielle Santillian had 2 goals and Jae Stephens had a goal and an assist for McAuley. Former Southwest All-Star goalie Scott Bartkoski’s little sister Ashley Bartkoski earned the win in goal for the Wildcats.

St James Tigers - 2
Laquey Hornets – 1
Dave Roberts offers an excellent piece on the Class 1 programs early season test: In the district tournament championship game last season the St. James and Laquey squads battled to a near-standoff. The game was tied after regulation and, after two overtimes, the contest was still tied and went into shootouts. Finally, St. James edged Laquey in the shootout to capture its second consecutive district title.
The Laquey Lady Hornets return the major portion of that ‘08 squad this spring and they came to the St. James Tuesday for a rematch.
As expected the two teams again locked up in a tight one. As it turned out all the scoring came in the first half, and sophomore forward Amanda White ended up scoring the game-winner on a direct kick with just seconds left in the first half.
