Lady Irish defeat Parkway West in first round of Kickapoo Shootout
Posted by soccermom under: Girls News .
Catholic defeated the Lady Longhorns 3-0 in the first round of the Kickapoo Shootout in one of the best games the girls have played this season. Just two minutes into the game Andrea Parker drilled a shot from the right side of the penalty area causing the keeper to dive to her left. She couldn’t quite control the ball and Bekah Bade put the loose ball in the net. The Irish defense was remarkable all evening against the physical possession game of Parkway West. The back line players, Rebecca Mayus, Carsen Baron, Ronnie Renner, Connor Guy, Emily Loethen, and Jessica Bowman with assistance from Erin FitzGerald and Natalie Smid in the midfield only allowed three shots on the evening. The midfield was equally impressive as Andrea Parker, Emily Ortega, Rachel Herron, Courtney Devlin, Mandy Bailes, and AnnMarie Banasik along with Smid and FitzGerald were equal to the Longhorn midfield. Shelby Hatz and Bekah Bade put pressure on the Parkway West backs with their speed and Jordan Banasik contributed significantly to the Irish attack. Catholic got a critical second goal four minuted before the half when Smid send Hatz in along. Shelby drew the keeper and hit a solid shot that the keeper got a piece of, but couldn’t quite control. The ball just did cross the line as a Longhorn defender desperately attempted to clear. The Irish were able to seal the game in the 77th minute when Shelby Hatz found the end of a Carsen Baron free kick and scored her second goal of the night. Rachel Scott and Megan Goetzinger recorded the shutout in goal for the Irish.
