Glendale Falcons Beat Rolla Bulldogs in OT
Glendale Falcons – 1
Rolla Bulldogs – 0
The Falcon’s got the game winner from freshman Molly Brewer in the 9th minute of the 1st overtime period as she made an overlapping run from the top of the box, picking up junior Lindsey Sprouse’s simple square ball as she ran by. Breaking into the box with a pair of defenders on her shoulder, Brewer took two strides before putting her ball to the left side just out of reach of keeper Adrian Pogue.

Logan-Rogersville Wildcats Win 1st Game In 2nd OT

Logan-Rogersville Wildcats at Carthage Tigers, Inaugural Game For Both Teams
Logan-Rogersville Wildcats – 2 (2nd OT)
Carthage Tigers – 1
The Wildcats earned their first win in their first game Monday on a set piece midway through the second overtime period. It was scored by junior Najee Donson (otherwise known as babbiboo32), on a shot just inside the 6-yard box, after a fine cross by #15(?). That’s Najee (#32) celebrating with teammates immediately after scoring the golden goal.

It was a grey, windy afternoon and much of the play was isolated to the downwind side of the field as both teams worked to create offensive opportunities. Carthage got their goal from senior Patricia Marin (#1) midway through the second half when she scored on a direct kick from just outside the box. Logan-Rogersville got their goal from freshman Kadi Leonardi (#16) soon afterwards, leading to the overtime period. Goalies were Phylicia Lewis for Carthage and Kelsay Leingang for Logan-Rogersville.

I have to offer a shout out to the Lady Tigers. With 31 players on the overall roster, the team bench was standing and cheering every play through out the game. I thought I was at a Jonas Brothers concert given the volume and amount of cheering that occurred. That same enthusiasm is spilling over to their new website (add it to your list of links) where they already have 17 positive comments. Well done ladies!
