Lady Aces Soccer Report From Coach Ed Berberich:
The MCHS Lady Aces soccer team traveled to Mt Vernon to take on the Lady Rams Tuesday night, winning 2-0. Chandler Cusick scored the first goal in the 17th minute, assisted by Flynn Guard. Guard scored a goal of her own, & the final of the game, in the 34th minute to give the Aces a bit of a cushion heading into the 2nd half. Katelyn Kline had 5 saves & a shutout in goal. The Lady Aces took 19 shots for the match, 13 on frame, had 8 chances created, took 5 corner kicks, & had 3 interceptions. The Rams took 6 shots, 1 on frame, & took 1 corner kick.
The girls really controlled the match from start to finish, possessing the ball well & creating a lot of scoring opportunities. They defended as well as they attacked, with solid defense all over the field but especially in the back line. The strong defense mostly shut down the Mt Vernon attack & denied the Rams many opportunities, with the few chances they did get not really being dangerous outside of a couple. The team's played really well to start the season & have impressed us coaches. They should be proud of the improvement they've made & of the potential they've shown.
The win brings the Lady Aces' record to 1-1 on the season. Their next match will be a rematch with Mt Vernon at noon on Saturday April 9th at the WVC soccer field.
