Soccer Lady Aces Fall To Metro East Lutheran
Lady Aces Soccer Report From Coach Ed Berberich: The Lady Aces hosted Metro East Lutheran at a neutral site Saturday, losing a close match 2-1. Metro East scored the first goal in the 12th minute when a deflection on a Lady Aces clearance out of the box traveled backward and floated in just past goalkeeper Allison Thread’s fingertips. The game stayed at 0 - 1 until Maya Smith scored the equalizing goal in the 73rd minute, assisted by Haley Wright with a key pass from Ally Kendall starting the play. However, Metro would end up taking the win, scoring the final goal with just 3 minutes remaining to seal it. For the match, the Lady Aces took 12 shots with 9 on frame, created an additional 9 scoring chances, & took 3 corner kicks. Thread had 8 saves in goal. Metro East took 9 shots, with 7 on frame.
The girls played well enough to win this one, and shouldn’t feel bad about the end result. With the neutral field we located for this game, the playing surface wasn’t ideal for the way we want to play, but we did our best with what we had. In terms of games played, we’re still very early in our season, & that does make a difference in these matches against teams that have played so much more than we have to this point. In this case, this was Metro East’s 13th match, but the girls are playing hard through that and making improvements each time out. Something we need to work on is it took us a bit to match the intensity of the other team. It really wasn’t until the 2nd half that we started playing as aggressively as we want to as a team. We’ve still got a lot of other things to work on as well, but one thing we’re doing is we’re giving ourselves a lot of good scoring opportunities in these games so we’re pleased to see that this early. Our biggest challenge will be this upcoming stretch of the season. With only 3 games under our belts in this first month, we now face a 2 week stretch of 8 games, so our endurance will be tested.
The Lady Aces are 0 - 3 so far on the season. Their next match will be at home at the WVC field at 4:30 pm against Salem.

Lady Aces Soccer Fall To Mt. Vernon
Lady Aces Soccer Report From Coach Ed Berberich:
The Lady Aces soccer team traveled to Mt. Vernon Saturday morning to play their 2nd match of the season, losing 2 - 8. Mt Vernon scored their first goal in the 11th minute, and the score remained 0 - 1 until a flurry of goals in the last 3 minutes of 1st half play left the Aces down 1 - 3 heading into the 2nd. Mt Vernon scored 2 quick goals, at the 38th and 39th minutes to take a 3 goal lead before the Aces responded right as the half ended when Maya Smith scored a goal on an assist from Rylie Webb. My Vernon added 5 goals in the 2nd half, while Webb would add a goal for the Aces to produce the final score. For the game, the Lady Aces took 16 shots, 10 on frame, created 15 additional scoring chances, and had 6 corner kicks. Mt Vernon took 13 shots, 10 on frame and had 4 corner kicks.
We were missing 11 players, & multiple starters, for this match so we needed the players who were there to step up and play well against a tough opponent, and they certainly did. It was a game of 2 half’s as we came out strong and pretty much dominated the run of play in the 1st half, but started wearing down towards the end of the 1st and through the 2nd, which is where Mt Vernon started to take charge. In that 1st half of strong play we outshot Mt Vernon 10-4, and the 10 we had were all good to great opportunities. They just did a better job of capitalizing on their chances so even though we feel we were the better team in that half, you wouldn’t have known it from looking at the scoreboard. This being their 9th game of the season and only our 2nd so far, & with us missing so many players, the conditioning difference isn’t a big surprise. We’ll need to continue working on that & on our finishing, but to get so many opportunities against a strong team is a really good sign of where we can get to if we keep improving. We’ve had so many girls playing hard in practice this whole season that I expect that we’ll continue to get that improvement. Our biggest obstacle will be the imbalance in our schedule, with almost all of our games taking place within a 2 - 3 week span. That’s a lot of soccer in a short timeframe so we’ll just have to do our best to battle through the fatigue that will doubtless be there. All in all, despite what the final score ended up being, us coaches were very pleased with what we saw.
The Lady Aces are now 0 - 2 on the season. Work is currently being done on adding a home game on Saturday April 13th against Metro East Lutheran-Edwardsville. If that doesn’t work out, the next match will be at home on Monday April 15th against Salem.
