State Quarterfinals

Game 19: (14-4-1)
2 November vs. De Soto at Saint Thomas Aquinas in State Quarters (6-0)


De Soto got into our match with a huge upset of the number one seed, Mill Valley. But tonight played out very much like the Regional Finals.  We came out with intensity (and we needed it as De Soto was jazzed up early and had a great student section all night) and focus, allowing us to dominate play for another night.

Once again, we did not allow a shot on goal, and maybe one shot period if we are very generous in our scoring. That type of effort requires great team defending.

We lead 2-0 at half, and we built that to 5-0 15 minutes into the second half. So, once again we were able to play our entire bench for a chunk of minutes, and they played well—keeping the sheet clean, adding a goal.

BWhite interviewed Barrett Kitts (what a free kick! just wow!) and Ethan Young as his Men of the Match.

Halo once again broadcasted our game, and the announcers did a very fine job (Ben LaBella and Alec Kanakares)—just some great analysis.

We now head back to the final four which will be at Stryker Park in Wichita this weekend. What a special accomplishment for these guys. We are proud of them.

STATS:

First Half:

Saints: 10 (6) Corners: 8 (Kitts 3, Konnesky 3, Ryan, Young)

16:16 Young (Kitts t's it to Ethan who takes a touch, a turn and shoots)

3:21 Young (Welsh bends the corner for the header) 

Wildcats: Shots: 0 Corners: 1

Second Half: 

Saints: Shots: 9 (8) Corners: 3 (Ryan, Seibolt, Bjorseth)

36:15 Muckerman (Kitts and Konnesky run 2-man with Barrett putting it right on the back post for the header)

27:48 Young (PK created by Young's turn and dribble into the box)

26:33 Kitts (one the nicest free kicks I have witnessed, and Kitts earned the kick as he was fouled)

7:55 Own Goal (Yoseph lifts a beautiful direct kick that is beautifully headed in by DeSoto defender)

 Game 14: (10-3-1) 12 October vs. Rockhurst at Rockhurst (0-3) Well, the streak ended. In the last five years, we were 4-0-1 against Rockhurst, but that street abruptly ended tonight with a 3-0 knockout. The game began a little bit like Naperville North, as we got knocked to the ground early, falling behind 2-0. And then like Naperville, we made some lineup changes and appeared to have righted the ship, and were now looking for that first goal. But we just broke down with only seconds left in the half to give up that killer third goal that about ends it. Their frosh had all three as well. We played better in the second half, missed a PK, put ourselves in another couple of good scoring positions, but we did not score. But in those 2-0 matches, you need to get to one before the other side gets to 3.  And we did not. Rockhurst did some nice things strategically, but we just were not sharp when we needed to be—the beginning of the match. I thought Cooper Welsh had one of his bette...

Game 5: (4-0-1) 14 September vs. Blue Valley North at BVN (5-2) Well, the tournament is over and we start the second quarter of our season back in the EKL, that houses teams who we will play our next 4 games against. Although North is a known quanity as we played them in summer league, we have never played at the high school. The DAC was double booked, so we were relegated to the practice field—it is a nice turf field. Coach Turner does a nice job of coaching the Mustangs, and it definitely showed tonight. They took it to us in the first half, countering us twice with two nice goals.  Their formation gave us some problems in the midfield as well; so we were pretty much on our heels all first half. We moved Garcia to the "6" for the second half, having Weinrich take over at right back for him. Now granted we made a few other adjustments and corrected a couple of things, but Garcia's impact at the "6" had a lot to do with our success in the second half as we blank...
