Bolivar Liberators – 5 Nixa Eagles – 4
The Liberators knocked off their Central Ozark foes with a goal by freshman Sara Magana (28), who leaped into the air near the penalty spot to meet Jonna Welch’s (excellent cross from the right side, nodding it into the net beyond the reach of the keeper. Beautiful goal, scored in the 77th minute, to negate a comeback by the Eagles from a 4-2 halftime deficit.
Both teams are very athletic and committed, it was a lively game that saw the attack go back and forth throughout the match. 2-2 only 20 minutes into the game, Bolivar went on to score two more to gain the early advantage. A shot by Jonna Welch from the right side just outside the box somehow fell under the cross bar, and a throw-in by Julie Magana (23), done via the flip and near the endline, worked to perfection as she put it to the near upper corner where it was easily knocked in when the keeper was unable to handle the hard throw.
Both teams came out hard in the 2nd half but it was the Eagles that began to put together the passes necessary to maintain possession and create opportunities for themselves. The first came from the penalty spot, following a foul in the box. Taken confidently by Kelsey Haist, it energized the Eagles further and they continued the attack. The 4th goal was a beauty, nodded into the net at the far post by (18) from Haist’s cross near the right endline. Haist got to the spot by picking up an attempted clearance and then battling through 3 defenders, pushing the ball past a second attempt to stop her in the box, and then delivering the quality ball.
Bolivar’s goals were scored by Jody McFarlen (PK), Hannah Harris, Julie Magana, Jonna Welch, and the game winner in the 75th minute by Sarah Magana.
Bolivar and Nixa both have teams prepared to compete. The Liberators just want to go forward, and have the youth and energy to do that all night. Nixa appears poised to join Glendale, Kickapoo, Ozark and Catholic as a program that wants to move the ball on the ground and create goals. When they spread the field tonight, they were able to do just that. Bolivar’s pressure, and some early season injuries, meant they weren’t able to get the job done in the time available to them tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing both teams several more times with the playoffs only a month away now.

Janessa, Honorary Captain, Mt Home Bombers
Mtn. Home (AR) Bombers – 4 West Plains Zizzers – 0
Janessa, a fourth grader in the Mt Home (AR) school district is a big soccer fan. She’s battling cancer and goes to Little Rock every 2 weeks for chemo but wanted to see a game. The good weather meant today was the day – Janessa was an honorary captain and the team presented her a signed ball. The Zizzer’s offered a jersey signed by all the players (pictured) as well. Janessa handled the the coin toss (we lost the toss and mtn home deferred and let us have the choice anyway – good sportsmanship). It was a big night for Janessa and a nice win for the Bombers.

Logan-Rogersville Wildcats – 4 (2nd OT) Branson Pirates – 3
For the second day in a row, the Wildcats earned a win in the second OT. Facing off against another new girls program in the region, and another Central Ozark Conference foe, the Wildcats took a 3-1 lead in the first half only to see their hosts claw their way back into the game. The Pirates got all three goals this evening from Neva Raschel (#13), including the goal pictured that was scored after a run from 40 yards out when she picked up a loose ball, sped into the box and unleashed the shot. The whistle for the end of regulation blew before the Pirates could complete their celebration.
Unfortunately the were unable to maintain the momentum. The Wildcats win once again came from a set piece, this time a direct kick from the right side just outside the box. Sophomore Stevie Heidzig (#17) put her ball to the near post where it got past the defense and set off another celebration by her teammates.
The Pirates opened the scoring tonight, before giving up three goals to the Wildcats, the first by last nights hero Najee Donson and the other two by senior Michelle Crawford. The second half started with a pair of misses by both teams. The Wildcats watched a shot from the left side carom off the crossbar in the 3rd minute while the Pirates will rue a missed PK 11 minutes in. Finally, in the 23rd minute the Pirates pulled within one on a direct kick goal by Neva Raschel. Her shot from just outside the box on the right side found the side netting on the left side and energized her teammates, leading up to the final minutes of regulation when she scored the goal pictured above.
Another entertaining game as these new programs are obviously enjoying the opportunity to get out and represent their schools. The Pirate’s boys are going to have to do some recruiting if they want to match the size and support the girls received at tonight’s game and I think the football team would appreciate the Pirate effort that the girls exhibited. From hard tackles to full field runs, it was a worthy opening match.
For the Wildcats, it was nice to see their ability to move the ball in better weather conditions. They have all the elements necessary, with key players positioned in the back, middle and upfront, a vocal leader at goalkeeper and reinforcements coming soon. The next opponent is Catholic, a significant challenge from any program in the area.
