Ozark Tigers Win First Class 2 District Title In PKs

Posted on by

Ozark Tigers – 3 (PK’s)
Kickapoo Chiefs – 2
The Tigers opened the scoring this evening in the 2nd minute, by freshman Jayme Braun, sending a message to their Northern neighbor about what to expect. The Chiefs were able to tie the score in the 37th minute via a corner kick, with Megan Etter scoring on the set piece service by Erica Freiert.

The Tigers took the lead again in the second half but the Chiefs were able to rally and tie the score yet again, this time in stoppage time, sending the game into overtime. Two overtime periods were scoreless which led to PK’s. The Tigers won 3-0 when they finished their three chances while the Chief’s first three shooters were blanked. UPDATE – OzarkTigerSoccer.com offers a great read on the game!

PS – I was planning on attending but didn’t get home from my business meeting at BPS until almost 6pm this evening. I guess I should have anticipated there might be OT but couldn’t justify the 150 mile round trip for what I thought would only be the final third of the game. I’m sorry I missed it ladies.

The Jackets finished the scoring with a cross by Hanna Winkel knocked in by Michelle Lindesmith. Joplin goalie Randi Russell once again kept things close.

Kickapoo Chiefs vs Camdenton LakersKickapoo Chiefs – 3
Camdenton Lakers – 0
The Chiefs got their fourth straight win, shutting out the visiting Lady Lakers while moving to 9-8 on the season. A direct kick by Katy McLain from almost 30 yards out slipped under the crossbar to give the Chiefs the lead in the 18th minute. As has been the case in the three games I’ve seen the past two weeks, the Chiefs calmly went about their business, challenging every ball and slowly wearing down their opponents. With junior Amanda Dominguez (pictured on left) the one constant in the central midfield this season, the Chiefs have been able to move the ball and create their own luck, a welcome change for their supporters following the slow start to this season.

In the 31st, a foul on the left side allowed McLain to put a ball into the box via a set piece. Sophomore Megan Etter ran onto it and got just enough of it to cause the goal keeper difficulty and see it roll across the end line. Etter would almost get a second late in the second half when her header from McLain’s cross rang off the crossbar. It was freshman McKenna Adams that completed the scoring though when she put a ball into the roof of the net from inside the 6 yard box on a cross. Yet another example of the focused approach the Chiefs are taking as they anticipate their rematch with the Glendale Falcons next Wednesday to complete their regular season. Slide Show

Kickapoo Chiefs Stake Claim For Top Seed

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
