| QHS girls soccer team rebounds with shutout win Published: 4/10/2009, Quincy HERALD-WHIG Resiliency is becoming the trademark of the Quincy High School girls soccer team. Two nights after a humbling 5-0 loss to Quincy Notre Dame, the Blue Devils responded with what QHS coach Travis Dinkheller dubbed a "complete effort" in a 2-0 victory Thursday night over Jefferson City at Flinn Stadium. Quincy (4-3) has bounced back from each of its three losses with a victory. "That's what we keep stressing -- believe in what we're doing and believe in each other," Dinkheller said. "This victory was affirmation that what we we're teaching and what we're telling them can work." Hayley Womack scored two unassisted goals, one in the sixth minute and the second in the 33rd minute. The sophomore forward leads the team with 10 goals and nine assists. However, Dinkheller said the performance of junior forward Taylor Nell was pivotal in creating scoring chances. "She kept pressure on their wing backs," Dinkheller said. "She caused countless mistakes by their wing backs and allowed us to win a lot of balls and keep the attack in their zone." Quincy sophomore keeper Kelsey Kipley made 10 saves for her third shutout. "We weathered the storm," Dinkheller said. "They threw a ton of numbers at us in the second half, but we handled it. The girls did a lot of smart, good things." |
| Glendale soccer tops Jefferson City to advance to final four
Springfield News Leader ROLLA — The Glendale High School girls’ soccer team stamped its ticket to the first state final four in team history with a 2-0 victory over Jefferson City in a Class 3 quarterfinal today at Missouri S & T. Molly Brewer scored what proved to be the game-winner for Glendale, heading in a corner kick from Emily Jordan in the 62nd minute. Emily Cline added an insurance goal seven minutes later, volleying in a perfectly-placed cross from Katie Brewer. Glendale improves to 18-7-1 with the win and will face either Nerinx Hall or Incarnate Word Academy in a Class 3 semifinal match Friday in Fenton. Jefferson City ends it season 14-11. Something had to give on Saturday: Glendale came to Rolla averaging just under five goals per game in postseason play, and Jefferson City had yet to surrender a goal since the start of districts. In the end, Glendale’s arsenal of attacking options won out over Jefferson City’s stingy D. The Lady Falcons kept the ball in Jefferson City’s end for the majority of the first half and took six shots to Jefferson City’s one, but the game was scoreless at intermission. Undaunted, Glendale kept attacking. The Lady Falcons got a handful of good looks in rapid succession starting with a corner kick in the 55th minute, and they finally were rewarded when they broke through on Molly Brewer’s goal in the 62nd. Not to be overshadowed by Glendale’s postseason offensive prowess, goal keeper Jacinda Lemons and the Lady Falcons’ defense recorded their third shutout in four playoff games and 12th overall this season. Jefferson City had a handful of promising trips into Glendale’s end, but the Lady Falcons’ defense prevented the Lady Jays from possessing the ball long enough to bring significant numbers forward, and Glendale allowed Jefferson City just one shot on goal all game. |
