Ozark And Nixa Battle For Large School COC Title Tonight

Eva Schwert, Ozark Tigers (2009)

Christian County bragging rights are on the line tonight and there are a couple of related subplots to keep in mind as well if you are headed to Ozark High School for the game.

At the top of the list is the 2010 Central Ozarks Conference Large School title. Both Ozark and Nixa are undefeated in the Conference heading into tonights game with identical 4-0 records. The Tiger’s are the defending champions, after defeating Nixa 1-0 to capture the title in the same game last year. The game winner was scored by German transfer student, senior Eva Schwert, who’s original shot was blocked by goalie Kristin Miller. The rebound fell to Schwert however who buried her second opportunity.

The secondary plot? Looking at Class 3 District 11 seeding, which will be determined tomorrow night, my guess right now for the order we’ll see is Parkview, Glendale, Kickapoo, followed by the winner and the loser of tonights games, and Branson. That means these two teams will be 4/5 and thus will face each other in the first round of the District tournament on Saturday May 15th. One of them will be done for the season at that point and a win tonight will be a confidence booster leading up to that possibility.

It should be another tight game tonight, with only one goal given up in COC play this season by Ozark (against Neosho last week) and none by Nixa.

Tuesday Ozark Conference High School Girls Soccer Report

Glendale Falcons vs Rolla Bulldogs – will be played tomorrow at 5pm

Mt View Liberty Eagles – 7
Pleasant Hope Pirates – 3
With only 9 players, the Eagles went out and got the victory last night. While the Coach wanted to forfeit, the Kids said No…. Emmie Vines scored 4 and Shelly Renegar scored 3 for the Eagles. UPDATE – I’ve gotten some private feedback that demands some clarification. Let me say I’m an Eagles fan, I love the fact that the Coach was concerned a player might get hurt playing short-handed BUT was also prepared to support the players choice to play. That’s the kind of team I want to be on!

Parkview Vikings - 8
Hillcrest Hornets – 1
The Vikings got goals from Shelbie Stewart (2), M. Robb, Jessica Maerz (3) and Kelsey Loderhose (2). K Freeman scored for the Hornets.

Joplin Eagles – 3 (PKs)
Lebanon Yellowjackets – 2
The Eagles win in this late season game points to their traditional ability to peak during Districts. Joplin’s Kelsey Sanders scored first with about 17 1/2 minutes left in the first half. Lebanon tied it up about 3 minutes later (#6 Hannah Winkle). With less than 5 minutes left in the first half, Joplin’s Autumn Lewis scored off of a Lauren Copple corner kick to put Joplin ahead 2 to 1 at the half. Lebanon’s # 5 Emily Boyer tied it up again with just over 9 minutes left in the second half. Both overtime periods were scoreless sending the game into PKs. Sorry, I did not note which Lebanon’s players made their PKs. Joplin’s Kelsey Sanders made the first PK. Lebanon scored. Joplin’s second shot went high. Lebanon’s second shot was blocked by Joplin’s goalie. Joplin’s Katelyn Miller scored. Lebanon’s third shooter scored. Joplin’s Autumn Lewis scored. Lebanon’s fourth shot was blocked by the goalie. Joplin’s Stephanie Loden scored to give Joplin the win with a 4 to 3 PK advantage.

Kickapoo Chiefs – 3
Camdenton Lakers – 2
Kickapoo’s Megan Melugin scored all three goals for Kickapoo including one 10 minutes in the first half giving Kickapoo a 1-0 lead through the half. Two minutes into the second half, Camdenton’s Haley Baker scored off a cross tying the score at 1 each. Kickapoo scored twice more and led 3-1 until 13 minutes left in the match when Camdenton’s Stephanie Kirvan scored a goal making it 3-2. Kickapoo outshot Camdenton in a contest that was physical and fun to watch.

Waynesville Tigers – 2
West Plains Zizzers – 0
Erica Combs scores via a PK late in the first half and #16 adds a late goal for the final margin of victory

Nixa Eagles – 0
Ozark Tigers – 1
A battle for the inaugural Central Ozark Conference large school title this season goes to the Tigers who got the game winner from senior Eva Schwert who’s original shot was blocked by goalie Kristin Miller. The rebound fell to Schwert however who buried her second opportunity.

Springfield Catholic – 4
Bolivar Liberators – 1
The Fightin’ Irish earn the COC small school title with their win. Catholic gets two goals from Natalie Smid and two from Bekah Bade. Jonna Welch scored for the Liberators with an amazing 24 yard blast. Catholic goalkeeper Rachel Scott was issued a red card in the 12th minute for handling the ball outside the penalty area.

Willard Tigers – 2 (PKs)
Carthage Tigers – 1
Willard jumped out to a 1-0 lead minutes before the end of the first half, but the Lady Tigers were able to tie it up with less than 10 minutes left in regulation when Patricia Marin, off an assist from Jessica Diaz, found the back of the net. Scoreless overtime led to PK’s, won by Willard. Story in the Carthage Press.

Neosho Wildcats – 4
Branson Pirates – 1
Neosho gets goals from Jackie Field, Melanie White and Shelby. Neva Raschel scored for Branson. Neosho is now 10-7 this season, 3-2 in the COC and will soon be focusing on getting past Joplin for a District title.

A late season upset for the Wildcats, knocking off their Webster-county rivals.
