The Lake Sun-Leader took a look at the Lady Lakers with Season preview: Soccer Lakers bring back deep, talented roster

Camdenton, Mo. —
The Lady Lakers have a wealth of experience and depth on their side this season. Camdenton has five seniors and a junior class that saw heavy game time last season.

All together, Camdenton returns 10 full-time starters and two other varsity players that started matches.

Among several of the key players back are: speedy defender Kali Kuse, junior foward Haley Baker (7 goals, 11 assists), junior goalie Sandra Shore (18 goals allowed) and forwards Cassie Hale (7 goals, 4 assists) and Ashleigh Paschel (14 goals, 9 assists).

The Lady Lakers do have one rather large obstacle to overcome: leading scorer and senior Latea LaRue will miss the season after injuring her knee in the second-to-last game of the basketball season.

The Lady Lakers will try to improve on their 18-win season from a year ago.

Jefferson City Jays Open Defense Of District 10 Title

Jefferson City Jays Win District Match Against Camdenton Lakers

Jeff City Jays – 1
Camdenton Lakers – 0
The defending District champions opened their newly remodeled soccer facility Tuesday with a strong message, emphasized by their attacking midfielder Kara Steiner in the video below, that they are ready to return to the winners circle. They were led this evening by junior Kara Steiner who scored the lone goal in the 67th minute, finally getting past sophomore goal keeper Sandra Shore with a cheeky little chip from just outside the 6 yard box to the far post. Up to that point, Shore had kept the Lakers close despite being out-shot 6-0 in the first half and 8-1 at the end.

The Jays offense begins with Steiner as she roams between forward and attacking midfielder depending on circumstances. The best opportunities were created when junior Molly Cowley or senior Destiny Galbreath were making runs into the corners, creating space for their teammates and sending quality crosses into the box. Galbreath came closest in the 1st half when Cowley’s cross was brought down at the far post by Jenna Foster and Galbreath smacked a quick shot that Shore stopped at point blank range (pictured above).

The Lakers rely on junior LaTea LaRue who is very strong and tireless, working both ends of the pitch this evening. Assisted by Hayley Baker and Chelsey VanHook in the middle, the Lakers have a strong midfield that will allow them to challenge in District 10. The challenge against the Jays was penetrating a strong defense, featuring a pair of smart and fast central defenders in Katie Evans and Abbey Campbell. With speedy outside backs such as Emily Downing (SBU-bound) and Kelsey Coffman, teams will not score too many counter-attack goals. Stephanie Kirvan will get her share of goals this season but I’d recommend teams spend extra time on their set pieces prior to a game against the Jay’s this season.

The Jays are defending District 10 Champions, defeating Sedalia Smith-Cotton last year. This was their first home game, and first District game, of the season after going 0-2-1 at the SportPort Invitational in St Louis last week.

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!

A restructured schedule placed the Jackets against the home team Glenwood Titans Saturday morning.. Final score 4-1 for the Titans. The final game was against Glenbrook (IL) North and ended 2-1 in favor of Glenbrook. While at the tournament the Jackets took in some action by Missouri power Nerinx Hall. Going into the tournament without two starters due to illness and conflicts, the jackets lost another starter to injury in the first game. Some freshman and sophomore JV players who had earned a spot on the roster gained some valuable experience in their first out of state tournament.
