A Winning Tradition Continues "
Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Preview 2009
- Tom Minutolo
The 2009 soccer pre-season
has begun for the Tecumseh Lady Arrows as coach Jim Paxton
is busy preparing his team for his 16th campaign at Tecumseh
High School.This season looks to continue building on the
success of several 8 and 9 win years in a row against some
of north Dayton's most successful programs. Greenon, Tipp
City, Northwestern and Graham all look to play far into the
post season while Kenton Ridge, Stebbins, Shawnee, Urbana,
as well as the far north teams from Bellfontaine, Indian Lake
and Ben Logan all are vying for a conference title.
Coach Paxton has chosen two
former Tecumseh players as his assistants this year in Miriah
Myers and Craig Lindsey. Both assistant coach's have had success
in high school while on the playing field and bring their
skills and enthusiasm to a young Tecumseh team. Myers has
had experience playing at Urbana University and Lindsey has
helped coach in the Fairborn Middle School program as well
as three years experience coaching a boys U-15 team in the
Miami Valley Youth Soccer Association.
With the graduation of 1st
team CBC and All Area North players, Rose Minutolo and Ally
Triplett, the Arrows will look for senior leadership from
Kelly Karjala, Guadaloupe Mendoza, Allison Denton, Marissa
Stone, and Michelle Milligan. All of these players bring year
round experience both in indoor soccer and in the Miami Valley
Youth Soccer Association. Karjala will lead the defense while
Mendoza, Stone, and Denton will provide mid-field support
and scoring ability. Milligan will share goalkeeping duties
with sophmore Kelly Gruber. The junior class will see the
return of Casey Cope whose athleticism and break thru speed
will wreak havoc on opposing defenses, She has added a quality
passing game which makes her more of a threat. Along with
Cope, Anna Studebaker, Taylor Thompson, Nicole Snyder and
Kaitlyn Novinger will add defensive and mid-field support
as well as long range scoring skills. The Arrows will also
see the return of leading scorer and 1st Team CBC player in
sophmore Jessica Boggs. Last year she tied a school record
with 5 goals in a game. Two other sophmores, Alysha Benson
and Shelby Gillespie will also get significant playing time
in helping shore up the Arrow defense. Benson was solid on
defense last year and has speed and scoring ability as well.
The freshman class will contribute immediately with Jaela
Coffey. Coffey has had training in select soccer under Ray
Raines from Greenon and looks to bring her considerable scoring
and defensive ability to the Tecumseh program. Another player
to watch is Taylor Henry who is very athletic and has long
range shooting skills.
Other players working hard
and competing for a spot on the varsity roster are Cassey
Sink, Melissa Brown, Chrissy Cantrell, Taylor Cyphers, Cayla
Kiger, Caleigh Leggett and Jennifer Burk. They all have had
junior varsity experience and are looking to play at the varsity
level.
The Arrows are competing in
three pre-season high school tournaments in preparation for
their August 24th home opener at Spitzer Stadium against Sidney.

Tecumseh 1 Shawnee 6
With three games remaining in the regular season
the Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team suffered back to
back losses this past week to the Tipp City Lady Red
Devils by a score of 8-0 and to the Shawnee Lady Braves
by a score of 6-1. With the losses the Arrows drop to
5-6-2 on their fall campaign. The latter part of the
season has been frustrating for both the players and
the coaches. Injuries have plagued a factor in the poor
play of late. The loss of Alysha Benson in the midfield
and recurring injuries to Allison Denton and Jaela Coffey
has limited the team’s effectiveness. Go

The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team suffered
its fourth defeat of the season to the Kenton Ridge
Lady Cougars by a final score of 1-0 on Monday. Kenton
Ridge entered the game having 7 wins 2 ties and no losses
on its resume. With wins over Troy Christian and Greenon
and ties to Northwestern and Graham the Cougars were
looking to add to their win total. Tecumseh on the other
hand was searching for answers as it had suffered disappointing
ties to Urbana and Springfield and was looking to turn
around a once promising season. Go

The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team traveled to Springfield
on Saturday and came away with a 2-2 tie against the
Lady Wildcats. For Springfield it has been a difficult
season competing in the Great Western Ohio Conference.
Thus far they were winless and had only scored one goal
vs Trotwood. The Arrows on the other hand were looking
to add to their win total after a disappointing tie
to Urbana on Wednesday. Go

Tecumseh 1 Northwestern 4
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team found out
the hard way what life would be like without their star
player as they suffered their third defeat of the season
at the hands of the Northwestern Lady Warriors by a
4-1 score on Monday. Sophomore Jessica Boggs was diagnosed
with a stress fracture in her lower leg which will keep
her out of the lineup until sufficient healing takes
place. Until this point of the season the Tecumseh offense
ran thru Boggs who was running wild and leading the
league and the area in scoring with 15 goals and 7 assists
in just 6 games. Northwestern on the other hand was
smarting from some early season losses to some of the
best teams in the area. All three of their losses to
Tipp City, Bethel, and Greeneview came by 2-1 scores
and winning goals were made off of well executed set
plays. Go

The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team suffered
their second loss of the season by a 6-3 margin in a
very physical game against the Greenon Lady Knights
on Wednesday. Greenon showed why it is one of the top
teams in the area as they applied unrelenting pressure
on the Arrow defense throughout the match. Tecumseh
gave up an early goal off a long shot from 25 yards
out on the right that was mishandled for a 1-0 lead.

Tecumseh 5 Miami East 4
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team battled for the
full forty minutes and took a 5-4 hard fought win over
the Miami East Lady Vikings on Saturday. The Vikings
came into the contest with a deceiving 0-4 record until
further inspection revealed that they had played some
of North Dayton’s best competition in the way of Troy,
Tipp City, and Northwestern. The Arrows were feeling
pretty good about their recent lopsided wins over Ben
Logan, Yellow Springs and Indian Lake and were looking
to add to that success. Go

Tecumseh 10 Indian Lake 0
Sophomore Jessica Boggs set a new single game record
in the Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team’s 10-0 win over
the Indian Lake Lady Lakers. It has been a whirlwind
week for Boggs as she has scored 13 goals and has 3
assists in four games so far this season. The scoring
began early and often for Tecumseh as Boggs fed Nicole
Snyder with a nice pass from the right side at 37:57
for a 1-0 lead. Boggs then took advantage of the support
of many of her teammates who supplied her with some
great passes which she turned into five straight goals.

of the Yellow Springs Lady Bulldogs. Marissa Stone began
the scoring early for Tecumseh as she took a pass from
Nicole Snyder on the left side and finished from 8 yards
out for a 1-0 lead at 37:10. Jessica Boggs began to
work some of her magic as she scored the first of her
three goals at 24:04 on a breakaway after a nice pass
from Alysha Benson, 2-0. Go

as they received contributions from many players. Jessica
Boggs scored the first of her four goals at 33:51 off
a nice pass from Anna Studebaker for the early 1-0 lead.
She scored again just two minutes later at 31:48 from

Tecumseh 1 Troy Christian 2
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team finished the pre-season
with a 3-1 record as they lost a close match to a very
good Troy Christian Lady Eagle Team by a 2-1 final.
In this contest the Arrows were confronted with a team
that had good speed, good organization to their attack,
and played a very tightly marked and physical style.
As such the Arrows were forced into a very defensive
game in which shots were hard to come by and with each
pass there was a battle for possession. The Arrows were
up for the challenge however until the Eagles scored
at 20:51 for the early 1-0 lead. Go

Tecumseh 4 Newton 4
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team finished in a flurry
and came away with a 4-4 Tie in their third scrimmage
game of the pre-season on Tuesday against the Newton
High School Lady Indians. The game was moved to a small
park a couple of miles from the high school due to some
construction activity and the Arrows battled against
the smaller width of the field all evening as they struggled
with possession. Nonetheless the Arrows scored early
at 31:00 as Jessica Boggs penetrated from the left side
and finished a shot from 13 yards out in the near corner
for an early 1-0 lead. Go

Tecumseh 6 Fairborn 2
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team enjoyed its second
preseason warmup with a 6-2 win at the expense of the
Fairborn Lady Skyhawks on Saturday. The game started
out slow for the Arrows as Fairborn controlled possession
early which led to a score from 20 yards out on the
left wing and a 1-0 lead at 29:10. At that point the
Arrows quickly adjusted to the speed of play. Go

The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team finished a successful
pre-season with a 2-2 record while competing in the
Good Samaritan Soccer Classic in Englewood this past

against a very good Columbus Watterman HS team that

ship however in a respectable 4-3 loss. In the last
contest of the day the Arrows faced Zane Trace HS out

of the season in a 1-0 win over the Fairborn Lady Skyhawks
on Senior Night in Fairborn. The pre-game ceremony was
well organized and complete with balloons and parents
lining the midfield to honor the girls who gave so much
in their careers at the school. There was also readings
of letters from underclassmen who reminisced about their
best memories of the graduating seniors. The game itself
was a physical battle throughout with neither team gaining

It was like riding the Beast at Kings Island on Wednesday
although the amusements happened at Spitzer Stadium
during Senior Night instead as the Lady Arrow Soccer
Team bid fond adieu to nine seniors and came away with
a 3-2 loss to the Bellfountaine Lady Chieftains. Kaitlyn
Krieg and Brooke Worthington are two seniors that have
been invaluable to the junior varsity team throughout
their career at Tecumseh. The Arrow Varsity also said
goodbye to Seniors Sarah Hazelwood, Meaghan Wilson,

The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team fought
hard for 90 minutes and came away with a 2-2 tie against
the Stebbins Lady Indians on Monday. The game was a
very fast paced affair and the Arrows played one of
their best halves of the season in the first part of
the contest. Freshman Jessica Boggs scored first on
a nice pass from Suzanne Allen at 23:56 for the first
goal of the game and a 1-0 lead. Rose Minutolo followed
that with another goal at 13:12 off a pass from Marissa
Stone for a 2-0 margin. That would turn out to be all
of the scoring for Tecumseh although they outshot the
Indians 10-8 the first half. They also were very actice
winning 15 of 28 50/50 balls and intercepted the ball
45 times. Go

Tecumseh 2 Urbana 1
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team earned their sixth
victory of the season with a hard fought 2-1 win over
the Urbana Lady Hillclimbers on Saturday. The Hillclimbers
displayed good speed and passing ability early as they
were able to move the ball into the finishing third
with regularity putting pressure on the Arrow defense
to make stops of their forward advances. The Tecumseh
defense led by Ally Triplett and Kelly Karjala was up
to the task however and had several nice stops in the
first 15 minutes of play. The Arrow offense on the other
hand struggled with midfield possession and as such
was unable to connect enough quality passes to generate
scoring chances. Go

Tecumseh 3 Shawnee 0
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team won their
fifth game of the season at home against a very scrappy
Shawnee Lady Brave squad by a final score of 3-0. The
game was very physical from the start and both teams
appeared to be evenly matched. Shawnee did a nice job
with midfield passing and possession but a strong defensive
backfield comprised of seniors Ally Triplett, Shawna
Penny, and junior Kelly Karjala kept the Braves from
getting quality shots on goal. Go

Tecumseh 1 Tippecanoe 4
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team saw its
record fall to 4-5-1 and 2-3-1 in the CBC with a 4-1
loss to the Tipp City Lady Red Devils on Monday. This
game was lost in the first few minutes of play as Tipp
scored four times in eight minutes and it appeared as
if a rout was on. Speed of play was a big factor early
and although the Arrows quickly made the adjustment
unfortunately the damage had already been done.

The Tecumseh Lady Arrows Soccer Team evened

action. The Arrows set out to play hard for the full
eighty minutes in preparation for a big conference showdown
with Tipp City on Monday. Springfield, who plays in
a very tough Central Division of the Great Western Ohio
Conference, was looking for its first win of the season
as the newly formed program between Springfield North

Trojans were riding the crest of a 7 game winning streak
and were not about to let up against their non-conference
visitors on this day. Earlier in the week Troy played
a won a close 2-1 decision against their main GWOC North
Division foe in Sidney and with first place at hand
they were ready for dessert. The Arrows came into the
match short on key personnel due to injury and had to

The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Varsity Soccer Team fought their

with a 4-2 record and a lost of swagger as they were
ranked 7th in the latest MVSSCA coach’s Division II
poll. and were looking to improve upon their Central
Buckeye Conference resume. Early in the game it looked

Tecumseh 1 Northwestern 3
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team suffered
their second loss of the season at home by a 3- 1 score
while facing the Northwestern Lady Warrior squad on
a sultry Wednesday evening. Throughout the first half
the Arrows struggled to maintain possession of the ball
in the midfield and appeared to be having difficulty
applying enough defensive pressure perhaps due to the
hot and humid conditions outside as well as Northwestern’s
superior speed and passing ability. Freshman Chloe West
utilized her speed and shooting skills to break thru
on the left side and score the first of her two goals
at 32:36. The Arrows picked up their defensive pressure
at that point and held the Warriors in check until West
broke thru again at 10:24. For the 2-0 halftime lead.

Tecumseh 8 Springfield North 0
The Tecumseh Lady Arrow Soccer Team raised their record to 6-3-1 on Saturday with an 8-0 victory over the Springfield North Lady Panthers. The game started out slow for Tecumseh as poor quality of play limited possession and thus scoring chances. Jackie Coffman took the first shot for the Arrows at 27:30. Even though the Arrows outshot North 9-0 the first half, many of those shots had little chance of finding the net.

Stebbins and Bethel and lost a heart breaker in the last seconds of the
game to a powerhouse Sidney team. The team will finish the scrimmage
sessions on Aug. 23rd against Greenville. Coach Jim Paxton has 11
seniors on his varsity team and has high expectations for the upcoming
year. Competition for the starting positions has been intense and all
the girls are working hard. The team opens the regular season at home

Good Luck Lady Arrows!

The loud roar coming from Tecumseh's Spitzer
Stadium wasn't the thunder or the results of a super-sonic fly by from wright-pat.
It was the Tecumseh Lady Arrows seniors being escorted around the stadium by
local Harley Davidson riders. The bikers
donated their time and beautiful machines to give the girls a fitting send off
on their last regular season home game. The surprised seniors were sent to the
athletic building where their rides were hiding. Athletic director Craig Eier
told the girls to go out back and pick one. Apprensive at first, the girls
realized what a treat this would be and hopped on. The deep throated growl of
the shiny machines roared throughout the stadium as the girls were driven past
the cheering crowd all around the field to the visitors side, were they met
their parents. Walking across the 50 yard line for the last time was a
teary-eyed experience for the both girls and parents. Coaches, parents,
team-mates and seniors met in front of the home crowd for hugs, handshakes,
pictures and tears as the 2004 Lady Arrows waved to the crowd one last time before
warming up for the game.

Oh yeah: there was a game
played tonight as the Arrows went out in style. Senior Mirriah Myers scored
with 6 minutes left in the 1st half and the Arrows won their final home game
1-0. For Myers, the teams leading
scorer it was her 12th goal of the season.
Thank you Lady Arrows. The Lady Arrows
traveled to Greenon on Wednesday to face the Knights. The stingy defense
kept the Arrows away from the scoring area most of the night and Greenon won
the game 3-0. One scary moment for the
Arrows. Senior goal-keeper Lindsey Lorenz had to be taken by ambulance to
the hospital. While making a save, a Greenon player slid into the face of
Lorenz. The bleeding could not be controlled on the field so the squad was
called on Lindsey was taken to Mercy hospital for a possible broken nose.

The Tecumseh Lady Arrows soccer team saw their
season record go to 6-6-1 last week with a win at Kenton ridge and losses to
2 highly ranked teams. The Arrows traveled to Kento Ridge on Wednesday
trying to get back on the winng track. The much improved Cougers kept the
Arrows away fron the net until Senior Renee Rowland tapped a nifty pass from
captain Mirriah Myers passed a stunned goal keeper at the 26 minute mark of
the 1st half. K-R was able to tie the
game but again it was Rowland putting the Arrows ahead with an un-assisted
goal with just 6 minutes left in the half. Kenton Ridge wasn't done yet and
tied the game shortly into the 2nd half. The Arrows then regrouped and
controlled the pase of the game and Whitney Brock interceptd a pass and
fired a shot into thye back of the net. The game was picking up speed
with both teams showing flashes but no goals were scored until Katie Dixon
scored her 4th goal of the season with just 2:22 left in the game and the
Arrows had their 6th win if the season by a 4-2 score. Reported by:

Sept. 27 v Northwestern
|
Tecumseh 1 Northwestern 3. The
Arrows traveled to Northwestern on Monday hoping to upset the Lady Warriors.
The game was physical and close with Northwestern taking a 1-0 lead into the
half. The Arrows came out strong in the 2nd stanza but the Warriors were
able to fire a second goal passed keeper Lindsey Lorenz and the Arrows found
themselves deep in a hole. After some rough and tough play the Warriors were
called for a penalty and Senior Jenny True fired a direct kick toward the
net and Mirriah Myers finished the play scoring her 11th goal of the
season. The game stayed 2-1 for much of the half with the play continuing to
be physical. Several more fouls were called and more probably could have
been. Northwestern sealed the game when
they scored on a corner kick and the game ended 3-1. Reported by:
Ed True

The Tecumseh Lady Arrows improved their league record to 5-1-1
last week by defeating Bellefontaine and Springfield North.the week started out
with a defeat to highly ranked Northmont 5-0. The Arrows could only manage 3
shots on goal while the T-Bolts took 29 and found the back of the net 5 times.
Sept. 25 v

Tecumseh 4 Springfield North 2.
Myers - 1 goals. Brock - 1 goal. Mader - 1 goal. Rowland - 1 assist. Myers - 1 assist. Brougher - 1 assist.
Reported by:

The Arrows, however, didn't let the loss affect their spirit and on Wednesday, keeper Lindsey Lorenz recorded her 2nd shutout of the season and the Arrows beat visiting Bellefontaine 3-0. Senior mid-fielder Whitney Brock scored her first goal of the year, half way through the first half and the Arrows never looked back .Krista
Mollette, also scoring her first goal of the season put Tecumseh ahead 2-0 and late in the half senior Katie Dixon scored on a nifty trap and turn shot. The game ended with the Arrows allowing only 3 shots at
goal. Saturdays game with Springfield North was expected to be very physical and it proved to be just that. The Lady Panthers came out fast and rough. That didn't prove a problem as Senior Tri-Captain Mirriah Myers scored just 90 seconds into the game from a great pass from Renee Rowland and Amy Quinton finished off a scoring chance at the 22 minute
mark, off of a direct kick. North wasn't done yet as they brought the score to within 1 when they scored just 3 minutes after the Quinton goal.
The game continued to be rough and physical as North was called for 11 fouls and Tecumseh was whistled down 3 times.
The fouls proved to be costly for the lady Panthers as the next 2 Tecumseh goals were scored off of the awarded direct kicks after the fouls. With 11 minutes left in the game Danielle Mather re-directed a Jenny True kick and the Arrows had some breathing room.
with the Panthers continuing to foul the Arrows, True again taking the kick sent the ball toward the middle where Myers received the ball and scored her second goal and the game ended with a 4-2 victory for the home
team. The Lady Arrows were only able to put 5 shots at the net but were able to score on four of them.
The Panthers put 9 shots at Lindsey Lorenz but she came up big when challenged and is proving to be worthy of being named one of the team
captains. The Arrows face a tough week as they travel to Northwestern on Monday; to Kenton Ridge on Wednesday and then on to take on the 31 ranked Troy Trojans

Ben Logan
Tecumseh 2
Ben Logan 1.
After a disappointing tie to Indian Lake the
Tecumseh Lady Arrows came back out to the field like the team they are. The
girls probably played one of their most impressive games of the year against the
Raiders of Ben Logan.
Reported by:
Ed True
|
With great passes and good ball handling the
Arrows scored the games first goal 13 minutes into the 1st half when Renee
Rowland netted the ball after receiving a beautiful pass from Myers. The
Raiders answered that goal just 2 minutes later. It
appeared that Myers put the Arrows back in the lead when she rebounded the
ball back into the net after a shot from True but a referee's call dis-allowed
the goal. That call didn't affect the girls spirit of effort. They calmly
played the game with skill and patience and Rowland scored again after a
direct kick rolled towards the corner and she calmly placed the ball into
the net. That ended the scoring for the half. The
2nd half started just like the first with the Arrows playing like the mature
team they are. Ball control and solid defense made the game a pleasure to
watch. Senior Whitney Brock, playing probably her finest game this
year, showed her ball-handling skills with great control and beautiful
open field passes. The Arrows put shot after shot at the raider net but
couldn't dent the twine with several shots going just wide or inches over
the top bar. That however didn't frustrate the girls as they continued to
play with poise and style. When the Raiders did manage to bring the ball up field
the defense quickly stopped the threat. Meagan Horner and Chelsea Parr
defended the outside and seldom allowed the ball to the middle. When Ben
Logan did show a threat, the middle defense quickly turned the ball the
other direction and started the Arrows on the attack. Coach
Paxton had the luxury of substituting without losing skill. Danielle Mather
and Kelly Deel showed versatility by playing both offensive and defensive
positions. Amy Quinton Jamie Foster and Amber Maloris got playing time and
performed well. The game ended with a 2-1 victory but I believe more
importantly was the mental victory the Arrows earned by a performance that
the coach, parents and the girls themselves should be proud of.

Sept. 14 v
Indian Lake
Tecumseh 4
Indian Lake 4.
|
The Indian Lake girls soccer team had the memory
of a lopsided loss to the Tecumseh Arrows last year and were determined to
make amends for that game. The Lady Lakers came out on a mission and
scored the games first goal early in the half and kept the momentum. With
most of the Arrows starting squad on the bench the Lakers scored again late
in the period and held a 2 goal lead at halftime. Coach
Paxton reinserted his first team for the start of the 2nd half and they
quickly responded and tied the game with goals from Seniors Renee Rowland
and Mirriah Myers. Indian lake however wasn't done and answered the Arrows
attack and took the lead back making the score 3-2. Again
the Arrows had to fight back and again Myers tied the game. It looked like
the Arrows might pull this one out when Nina Rich scored the go ahead goal
for the Arrows with just 4 minutes left in the game but the Lady Lakers scored
a disputed goal just 2 minutes later. It appeared that the Lakers had 2
players off-side but the referee saw differently and allowed the goal to
stand. The game ended in a 4-4 tie bringing the Arrows league record
to 2-1-1. Reported by: Ed True

Lady Arrows Improve to 2-2
After struggling through 2 losses to powerhouse teams at Wayne and Tipp
City the Lady Arrows soccer team improved its season record to 2 -2 with league
record at 2-1 by defeating Urbana by a score of 8 to 0. The Arrows started fast
and scored just 90 secoonds into the match when Renee Rowland drove the ball
into the net after a beautiful pass by senior Katie Dixon.
Sept. 11 v
Urbana

The Arrows continued to attack and put 4 shots
over the crossbar before Senior striker Mirriah Myers netted the first of
her 4 goals after intercepting an Urbana goal kick and working her way
through the Hill climbers defense and scoring from in close. Nina Rich
scored for the Arrows at 17:42 off another assist from Dixon.
Myers finished the first period scoring after again intercepting a goal kick
and finishing with a low shot. The second half started the same as the first
when Renee Rowland scored her second of the day just 2 minutes into the
period and Myers scored her third just 60 seconds later. Both of those goals
were assisted by Dixon who had 4 assists in the game. Arrow
goal keeper Lindsy Lorenz was relieved from net early in the 2nd half and
was and replaced by sophomore Jesse Haas who played well when tested. After
a brief rest Lorenz was inserted into the front line and answered by serving
up 2 assists. The first to Myers who finished her scoring for the day and
the second to defender Jenny True. As
well as the offense plated a great job was turned by the defense. Lead by
senior Jenny True the Arrows allowed only 3 shots and very seldom allowed
the Hillclimbers any room to launch ay kind of attack. Freshman Jackie Coffman
is doing a great job at the sweerper position and sophomores Danielle Mather
and Kelly Deel and junior Chelsea Parr are covering the outside.
Upcoming for the Arrows is the
continuation of the Piqua Game on Monday the 13th and at Indian Lake on the
15th and back home against Ben Logan on the 18th.

Sept. 4 v
Wayne
The game ended with 5-0 victory for the Warriors.
|
Tecumseh 0 Wayne 5.
The Lady Arrows knew coming into this
game that they would have to play one of the best games of their season if
they were to have a chance against the highly ranked Warriors. The Warriors
are a strong and physical team and they proved why they are one of the most
respected teams in the area. Wayne's
speed and ball control got them off to an early lead and they never looked
back. The Arrows fought hard and had several chances but the physical play
and the high heat and humidity took a toll on the girls. Tempers
started rising and there were many penalties called in the second half
including a yellow card given to a Warrior player for unnecessary roughness.

The Tecumseh Lady Arrows finally got
the 2004 soccer season started. The first game was suspended due to
weather so the girls had to wait to start the season until the Lady Braves of
Shawnee visited Spitzer stadium. The Lady
Arrows showed that the delay didn't hurt them as they controlled the play
throughout the game. The Arrows had several shots early in the game
with midfielder Jenny True hitting the cross-bar from far out but the Braves
goal keeper kept the ball out of the net until Senior Mirriah Myers scored the
season's first goal. Myers scored off of a corner kick with 17:47 left in the
first half. The Arrows continued to control
the play but a defensive lapse allowed The Braves to fire a goal past keeper
Lindsey Lorenz with 9 minutes left to play in the half and the first stanza
ended 1 to 1. After a fire-breathing speech at half time by coach Jim
Paxton the Lady Arrows came out like they were on fire. Myers
scored her second goal just 10 minutes into the period and Katie Dixon scored
again just 90 seconds later. The Arrow defense completely shut down the Braves
and Lorenz had only 1 save in the last half. Dixon added a goal with 5 minutes
left in the contest and the arrows came away with a 4-1 victory to start the
season. Reported by:
