Drury Panthers – 2
KY Wesleyan Panthers – 0
A pair of first half goals were enough for Drury to get past the visiting Panther’s today. The game-winner was scored by Alyssa Alcorn (video below) in the 21st minute when she headed Hilary Cockrell’s corner kick just over the goalkeeper for her first goal of the season. Katie Pritchard (Waynesville) scored the second goal when she beat the keeper to a ball on the edge of the six yard box and tapped it in.

Allcorn scored at the 20:37 mark with a header off a Hillary Cockrell corner kick for a 1-0 advantage, then struck again at 35:24 when sophomore Katie Pritchard scored from three yards out off assists by junior Nicole Williams and freshman Kara Steiner. Senior keeper Jessie Sanderson picked up her fifth shutout of the season and school-record 35th of her career in goal for the Panthers, who out-shot Kentucky Wesleyan (2-10, 1-10 in the GLVC) by an 11-4 margin.

Drury, which improved to 6-6-1 overall and 4-5-1 in the GLVC, will hit the road next weekend for league matches at Indianapolis on Friday and Northern Kentucky on Sunday.

Ozark Conference Girls Soccer – Vikings Remain On Top

Parkview Vikings Celebrate Jessica Maerz (#9) game-winner

Parkview Vikings Celebrate Jessica Maerz (#9) game-winner

Parkview Vikings – 2
Camdenton Lakers – 1
Camdenton’s Ashleigh Paschel opened the scoring, placing a shot into the left side-netting about 10 minutes into the first half. Parkview tied the game about five minutes later, with Shelby Stewart sprinting onto an Anna Withers through ball and touching the ball past the Camdenton keeper then sliding in her shot from a wide angle. Both teams created chances in the second half with the keepers coming up strong. The Laker’s high energy offense, based upon doing a few things well, was clicking but the Vikings defense was up to the challenge. It was remarkable to watch, as the Laker’s pushed harder Parkview remained calm and confident in their ability to prevail.

Their confidence was rewarded when senior Jessica Maerz got the game-winner with less than two minutes in regulation. Maerz collected the ball along the left sideline and shot, dropping the ball in under the crossbar from 30 yards. The Vikings now move to 5-0 in the Conference and remain the only undefeated Conference team. Camdenton falls to 3-3 in the middle of the table.

Rolla Bulldogs – 2
Lebanon Yellowjackets – 0
Another shutout for the Bulldogs who quietly move up the table, sitting second now at 6-1 in the Conference. Lebanon is now 3-3, tied with Camdenton.

Waynesville Tigers – 5
Joplin Eagles – 0
The Tigers came out strong on an evening when the school was recognizing four time All-State player Katie Pritchard, retiring her jersey number. Goals were scored by Jesslyn Clark (2), Rhiannon Moore, Janelle Miller and Loriann Clark. The Tigers move to 2-4 in the Conference, Joplin falls to 1-4.

Kickapoo Chiefs – 5
West Plains Zizzers – 0
The Chief’s scored three in the first, opening in the 22nd minute on McKenna Adams unassisted run down the middle of the field. Adams added a second in the 37th minute with a shot from 28 yards that fell in over the keeper’s outstretched arms into the net. Marin Gelsheimer scored in the 39th on an assist from Adams, Megan Melugin scored off a rebound from a McKenna Adams corner kick in the 48th and Adams completed her hat-trick on as assist from Marin Gelsheimer in the 61st. McKenzie Danzer returned to the goal tonight for the shutout.

Kickapoo and Glendale are now tied for third in the Conference with matching 4-1 records, behind Parkview and Rolla. Parkview visits Kickapoo on Thursday in a key Conference and District match for both programs. I’ll be there!

Congratulations To Katie Pritchard

The News-Leader has chosen Waynesville’s Katie Pritchard as their female athlete of the year.

Led by its own No. 10 with a ponytail — Stiles’ jersey number and trademark at MSU — success didn’t come easy for Waynesville or Pritchard. But Pritchard’s facial expression rarely changed, regardless of the circumstances.

And here I thought the #10 was because of soccer but it was Stiles. Good luck at Drury Katie, see you Thursday for the All-Star game and your farewell to the worlds game :)

Katie Pritchard, Waynesville Tigers from oleolson on Vimeo

Unless we catch her on an amateur team over at Lake Country, or kicking it around on the Drury Campus, Katie Pritchard’s last soccer match was with her Waynesville Tiger’s teammates Tuesday in the loss to Lebanon. The video above is following the Catholic game Tuesday May 6th and the audio is affected by the wind. Regardless, I get the sense of a focused young woman, already prepared to handle the media as she now begins her quest for a National title with the Drury Panthers basketball team. Good luck and thanks Katie.

All-State Soccer – 3 years (likely 4)
All-State Basketball – 2 years

Kaitlin Bramel To Play Soccer And Basketball at Fontbonne

Posted on by

Here’s a story we don’t hear often enough in this age of increasing specialization. Rolla High School senior, Kaitlin Bramel, just signed with Fontbonne University in St. Louis to play soccer AND basketball beginning in the Fall of 2008.

Kaitlin has been a force in both sports all four years and unlike her close friend Katie Pritchard, she wanted to continue playing both sports in college. I’m excited to hear she found an opportunity. I’m crossing my fingers there will be a game the weekend I visit St Louis to catch Emory take on Washington University when former high school teammates Patrick Carver and Josh Florez face off one last time. Fontbonne is just down the street.

Southwest Region Class 2 District Semifinals

Posted on by
    Class 2 District 11

#4 Lebanon Yellowjackets – 3
#1 Waynesville Tigers – 2
The Yellowjackets found the same reservoir of energy tonight that took them to the District Final last year when they upset the Glendale Falcons. It was the Tigers that established the early bragging rights, scoring 20 seconds into the game from Lauren Kelly, a margin they took to the locker rooms at halftime. In the words of Coach Gow, who leaves Lebanon for the Tigers job when this season ends, there was no need to raise his voice or even discuss what needed to be done. Each of the ladies knew what was needed and what they as a team were capable of having been here before. Junior Cassie Wood tied the game in the 48th on assists from Ashley Shockley and Chelsea LaFors but Erica Combs regained the lead for Waynesville in the 53rd.

In the 60th minute, Callie Beard scored her first ever Varsity goal when she banged a ball from the midfield line that in combination with the wind somehow found it’s way under the crossbar, giving Lebanon their second tie. Wood got the ultimate game-winner in the 67th on an assist from Brianna Ragains. Both of her goals were scored on headers this evening.

Katie Pritchard had an opportunity to tie the game in the final minutes but was unable to connect, ending the remarkable run the Waynesville Tigers made this year. Undefeated in the Ozark Conference , a second straight Conference title but it will remain for a future team to earn the first Girls District Soccer title.

#2 Glendale Falcons – 2
#3 Rolla Bulldogs – 1
The Falcon’s rebounded from last year’s disappointment to defeat the defending District Champions this evening on a late goal by Emily Cline. Glendale scored first when Jenni Frewin continued her recent scoring streak, assist to Cline. Rolla’s Jaclyn Standfast tied the game in the first half, unassisted, and thats where the score remained at halftime. The second half was a two-way battle as both teams attacked relentlessly until Cline broke through in the final 10 minutes, assisted by Emilee Williams.

Rolla had a breakaway in the final minute of the game that grazed the upright. Senior Rachel Duckworth apparently got just enough of the ball to deflect it and protect the Falcon’s lead.

The District title game will be Thursday at 6:00 pm at Lebanon. The Yellowjackets return to the final for the second straight year, this time they’ll face the Glendale Falcons.

    Class 2 District 12

Ozark Tigers – 3
Parkview Vikings – 0
The Tigers got a goal in the first half to open a lead they would not relinquish. The Vikings finish their season at 11-10 and look to return as many as 8 starters next year.

Kickapoo Chiefs – 5
Nixa Eagles – 1
Kickapoo opened the scoring via a corner kick in the 8th minute. The ball made it across the entire mouth of the goal before it was tapped in by Erica Freiert on the far side. A shot by Chelsea Russell went off the hands of the goalie before falling to x for an easy tap in and Freiert got a second in the 25th after a cross to the far post.

The second half opened with Nixa giving up an own goal off a corner kick as well. The Eagle’s got one back when their new #2 on the career scoring list, senior Stephanie Allen, scored on a PK. It came after Kelsey Bartell was fouled on a courageous challenge with the keeper. Keeper was called for the red card in the 55th. The final goal was scored by Chelsea Russell scored on a breakaway off a 70 yard punt by the Kickapoo keeper in the 64th minute.

Coach Tom Davidson will take his Ozark Tigers to Joplin on Thursday to face off against the Kickapoo Chiefs for the District 12 title. Game time is 6:00 pm.

Waynesville Tigers Continue Their Run Through SW Region

Waynesville Tigers at Springfield Catholic Fightin' IrishWaynesville Tigers – 4
Springfield Catholic – 2 3
It was an offensive battle at the Irish field Tuesday evening with all of the goals, save one, scored in the first half. Catholic’s dynamic freshman forward Shelby Hatz, assisted by Rachel Herron, gave the home team their only advantage on the evening in the 7th minute. Katie Pritchard, assisted by Erica Combs, tied the game after hitting the upright twice prior. In the final 15 minutes of the half, Natascha Lord scored when she buried her second chance, after Rachel Scott some how parried her initial blast. Carsen Baron, working hard on the right side, made the needed run to be in position at the far post when Hatz put a square ball across the face of the goal. Pritchard got the game winner in stoppage time however when she won a 50/50 ball outside the box. Her quick shot slipped inside the near upright and Tigers went to half time with the lead.

The second half saw Catholic put significant pressure on the Tigers, with the best opportunity coming in the 65th minute, only to see Crystal Hutchinson get her fingers on the shot from the right side, tipping the ball up and off the crossbar. The Tigers put the game away on a late corner kick, Lord putting one of her fine balls to the far post where midfielder Erica Combs rose to meet it (pictured). The Irish got within one in stoppage time when Natalie Smid put away the rebound of a shot deflected by Hutchinson on Maddy Renner’s cross. Renner was tireless Tuesday night, making run after run into the offensive end from her midfield position, with balls from Parker, Bailes, Smid and her sister Ronnie offering a regular attacking option.

Congratulations to Katie Pritchard on setting the Class 2 state record with her 168th and 169th career goals.
Photo Slideshow from the game Photos will follow tomorrow afternoon, I’ve got a business meeting in the morning I’m still preparing for.
