Kickapoo Chiefs Stake Claim For Top Seed

Posted on by

Kickapoo Chiefs vs Ozark TigersKickapoo Chiefs – 2
Ozark Tigers – 0
In a season of surprises and new contenders, a traditional power sent a message this evening that they are not to be counted out, despite losing a fourth starter to injury. On the strength of a pair of goals in a six minute span, the Chiefs evened their record at 8-8 and positioned themselves for the top seed in the upcoming District playoffs. Sophomore Mallory Williams (pictured, in brown) took advantage of a loose ball and an open net in stoppage time at the end of the first half to give the Chiefs the lead. Her game-winner was followed in the 44th minute by fellow sophomore Megan Etter, who found space between a pair of defenders and tapped in a wonderful square ball from Kiley Huslig on the right side of the box.

The Chiefs, who have lost four starters this season -seniors Chealsey Russell, Paige Blotter, junior Abby Anderson and now sophomore Megan Melugin – to significant injuries, have somehow found a way to overcome these hurdles and slowly fight their way back into contention. Slowly but surely they have integrated new players into the system and have found a way to win. That seems to be the key difference for the Chiefs – when they need to win, they have. While not dominating on the scoreboard, they have achieved the necessary results and barring anymore bad luck, have established themselves as the team to beat in District 11. Photo Slideshow
