Game 2   Tie  Lakeview 2 at 2 Crossroads  Record :  1-0-1

 Crossroads’ girls’ varsity soccer had a challenging match Wednesday afternoon at home against Lakeview.  Lakeview came out strong and dominated the first ten minutes of the game.  After that, the Lady Cougars settled down and controlled much of the action.  Lakeview did break through first, scoring off of an indirect kick.  Minutes later, Crossroads found itself down 2-0 when Lakeview took advantage of confusion in the penalty box to find the net.  Crossroads would start its comeback right before the half.  Rachel Thorne had a beautiful shot into the upper right hand corner of the net to cut the score to 2-1 with less than a minute left in the half.

 The Lady Cougars continued to dominate in the second half.  There were numerous scoring chances that came so close to tying  the game.

It took a nice combination of passes from Tara Cassidy on the right, to Chloe Balanda on the left, and then back to Jen Lokers on the right to tie the game.  Crossroads continued to press for the game-winning goal and had great chances right up to the last five seconds of the game.  Congratulations, ladies, on a great game and an amazing comeback.

 The varsity lady cougars would also like to thank the middle school soccer team and Coach Yurick for the welcome to the field.  It was awesome.

Game 1 Freemont Providence 0 at 5 Crossroads

The girls’ varsity soccer team had a great start to the 2008 season.  Fifty-seven seconds into the game Olivia Schonert scored on an assist from Tara Cassidy.  Olivia had a beautiful shot into the lower left hand corner of the net.  Before the second half finished, CCA scored again on a cross from Chloe Balanda to Jen Lokers.  Crossroads had numerous chances but weren’t able to find the net again in the first half.

 In the second half, the Lady Cougars continued to dominate.  Tara Cassidy had a nice cross to Chloe Balanda who finished with a strong shot into the back of the net.  Chloe scored again on a nice pass from Jen Lokers.  Kachine Bean finished the scoring on an assist from Tara Cassidy.  Considering it was the first game played under miserable conditions, Coach Meads was very happy with the way the ladies played.  The defense was very solid and shut out the Storm with only three shots on goal.  Congratulations to all the defense and Sara Geasler and Micah Otteson on the shutout.  Nice start to the year, ladies.
