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.

The delayed 9:00 pm start of this game coincided with the onset of a steady frigid rain that lasted the entire first half. Play was tight with opportunities by both sides, with the Yellowjackets getting the only goal, by Hanna Winkel assisted by Brianna Ragains. Second half remained tight until a penalty in the box gave Lebanon a PK, finished by Ragains (an MSSU signee). Less than a minute later, a nice cross was knocked in from a crowd by Stephanie O’Halleran. The final goal was scored on a nice direct kick by Brianna after being taken down just outside the box.

At the 50 minute mark, senior Chealsey Russell scored her 3rd goal of the evening, from a long ball by goalkeeper Jessica McCutcheon. It was emblematic of the new lineup Coach Hodge has decided on , moving last years Regional MVP up top where her impact on the game can more directly affect Kickapoo’s early inability to score this season. The Eagles, a young and very active squad, kept it close until the 25th when Abby Anderson scored. It came in traditional Chiefs fashion, a wonderful cross from Katy McLain on the left side, GK touched it but was unable to stop it and Anderson was alertly waiting on the far side where she walked it in. Russell got her first goal a minute later when freshman McKenna Adams alertly sent her in on a breakaway via a diagonal ball. Once again the keeper got a hand on it but Russell had enough power on the ball that it trickled in. The Chief’s got a third goal, Russell’s second, in the first half via a corner kick.

Both keepers, McCutcheon for Kickapoo and Kristen Miller for Nixa (pictured above), were active and made important saves during the game. The Eagle’s worked hard, and knew what they needed to do against their District foe. With a core of freshman that achieved well in last Spring’s Middle School playoffs, it’s just a matter of time before the breaks should begin to go their way.
