Lady Aces Soccer Open Season By ThuMPing Harrisburg

The MCHS Lady Aces soccer team kicked off their season with a 7-0 win over visiting Harrisburg. Maya Smith scored the opening goal in the 1st minute off an assist from Flynn Guard and a key pass from Rylie Webb. Smith scored again unassisted in the 14th minute. Webb scored 10 minutes later on an assist from Smith, giving the Lady Aces the 3-0 lead at the half. The Lady Aces continued their dominant play in the 2nd half, with Webb scoring in the 42nd minute, assisted by McKenna Golden. Smith got herself a hat trick a few minutes later, scoring her 3rd goal on an assist from Webb with Makayla Beesley providing a key pass. Chandler Cusick scored in the 53rd minute on an assist from Webb, followed 3 minutes later by Webb getting a hat trick of her own on an unassisted goal for the 7-0 final score. The Lady Aces took 18 shots, 14 on frame, created 11 additional scoring chances and had 4 interceptions. Rilee Riggs and Katelyn Kline combined in goal for the shutout, with each getting 1 save. The Lady Bulldogs took 4 shots, 2 on frame.

We have a lot of players who either haven't played soccer before at all or haven't played since they were little, so we were curious to see how we'd look in our first match, especially against an opponent who has beaten up on us the last few years. Thankfully we've got a core of older players that we can rely on and who've been good with helping out the more inexperienced players. Speaking of those newer players, they all performed really well in this one. We've still got a lot to work on, but they showed that they're picking up some of the things we've done in practice, and if they continue growing we can hopefully improve as the season goes on. Getting that first game action in is a big step for them that can't be fully replicated in practice. We're without starting senior goalie Allison Thread, so this was a good way to get those 1st game butterflies out of the way for Kline and Riggs. Our defense did a great job of denying Harrisburg many opportunities, so our new goalies were able to get a little experience without being under constant pressure. Our next match likely won't go that way, so this was a good stepping stone for them. Offensively, we're still working on our ball skills and passing ability/accuracy but our girls came up with some good ideas out there with the ball at their feet and we were aggressive in getting to goal which was great to see with so many inexperienced players out there.

The Lady Aces next host the Marion Lady Wildcats on Thursday April 29th at 5:00 pm at the WVC field. Marion has a very good team, dominating their first 3 opponents by a collective score of 22-0, so this will be a good learning experience for our girls.

Soccer Aces Season Wrap-Up Report

From Coach Ed Berberich:

The MCHS Soccer Aces recently ended their season, and a stretch of 4 games in 4 nights, with a 9-1 win over the visiting Marion Wildcats. The Aces started strong with Levi Beesley scoring in the 10th minute, assisted by Eli Bertram. Rayce Loudermilk scored a few minutes later on an assist from Britton Heinrich and a key pass from Ethan Belt. Heinrich then added a goal, assisted by Jack Deisher. The Wildcats scored to bring themselves within 3-1, but Rayce Loudermilk quickly scored again, assisted by Bertram, to push the lead back up to 4-1 at the half. The strong play continued in the 2nd half, with Rayce Loudermilk scoring off an assist from Shade Loudermilk, with a key pass from Heinrich. Rayce scored his 4th goal of the match on an assist from Belt, followed shortly after by Belt setting up Jarrett West for a goal. Brady Decker scored a goal on an assist from Heinrich, followed by Belt scoring the final goal of the match, pushing the score to 9-1. For the match the Aces took 23 shots, 14 on frame, created 7 additional scoring chances & had 7 interceptions. Tye Kanipe had 2 saves in goal. The Wildcats took 3 shots, 2 on frame.

With 4 goals in this one to conclude a string of multi-goal games, Rayce Loudermilk was named the MaxPreps player of the week for Illinois soccer. This is voted on by MaxPreps and the United Soccer Coaches Association. Teams do not submit players for this, all players who have stats entered into MaxPreps are eligible to win, so the pool is quite large.

The guys were looking forward to playing one last home game against a good team this season, and that desire showed from the start. We came out with energy and dominated the run of play throughout the match. Considering the amount of soccer that they'd just played, in a season where we didn't get to do much conditioning, it was an impressive performance. Marion had a couple players out from injuries, but the way we played left no doubt that these guys just weren't going to lose this game regardless. It's tough because we were really rounding into form this past week and these guys deserved a chance to make another deep playoff run. With the way we were playing at the end of the season I feel we could have had a lot of success, so it's heartbreaking that these guys didn't get the opportunity to keep it going. This was made all the more bittersweet because it was the last match in the careers of a great group of seniors: Ethan Belt, Brady Decker, Jack Deisher, Britton Heinrich, Tye Kanipe, Rayce Loudermilk and Jarrett West. Even with this year being cut short on them, they had a great 4 year run, & in particular these last 2 years were historic with only 3 losses by a total of 4 goals. We've not gone into a single game these last 2 years that I didn't think we could/should win. It's been a blessing to watch these guys grow and accomplish everything we were able to. They've left a high bar to clear, and we'll miss them all next year, but they've helped the program immensely and have given the returning players something to aim for.

The Aces season ends with their record at 9-2 (3-0 in Little Illini play).

Aces Soccer Update

Aces Soccer Report From Coach Ed Berberich:

The MCHS Soccer Aces recently went 2-1 in a 3 game stretch as the season was winding down. They first traveled to Anna-Jonesboro, losing a close match 0-1, then hosted Salem, winning 4-1 and then finished the stretch off with a 10-0 victory at Harrisburg.

Against Anna-Jonesboro the Aces took 9 shots, 5 on frame, created 10 scoring chances and had 8 interceptions. Tye Kanipe had 4 saves in goal. The Wildcats took 8 shots, 4 on frame.

We came out pretty flat in this one, and it was apparent in the pre-game warm-ups that this would probably be an issue. This was our first day back from spring break and it looked like we were still on break for most of the match. We finally came to life in the last 20-25 minutes but by this point Anna had the 1 goal lead and packed the box with extra defenders, making it hard for us to get that equalizer. Anna's a good team and it's hard to give them as much as we did for the first 50-60 minutes and still pull out a victory. It wasn't particularly surprising that we came out flat after the break, but it was a disappointing showing that didn't represent the way we've played for most of this year.

The Aces bounced back against Salem, winning 4-1 against a team that had improved over last year. Eli Bertram led the way with 2 goals, with Rayce Loudermilk and Ethan Belt scoring 1 apiece. Britton Heinrich had 2 assists and Belt 1 assist in the match. The Aces took 30 shots, 15 on frame, created 20 scoring chances and had 8 interceptions. Kanipe had 1 save in goal. The Wildcats took 3 shots, 2 on frame.

We dominated the run of play in this one, controlling the ball well, moving it around the field and getting off a ton of shots. Salem was a better team this year than last so this was a good bounce back effort after the rough Anna game. Every time this team has a learning opportunity it seems they take advantage of that and start applying the lessons they've learned. The Anna effort gave these guys a chance to take something from a loss and they certainly did that.

The Aces finished this stretch of games by traveling to Harrisburg and beating the Bulldogs 10-0. We had a lot of different players get in on the scoring in this one, with Heinrich leading the way with 3 goals & Rayce Loudermilk right behind him with 2 of his own. Belt, Jarrett West, Levi Beesley, Aiden Garwood & Landon Lagow each scored 1 goal apiece. Assisting on the goals were Rayce Loudermilk, Belt and Heinrich each with 2 apiece, and Brady Decker and Jack Deisher with 1 each. Tye Kanipe was in goal for the shut-out. The Aces took 17 shots, 14 on frame, created 8 additional scoring chances and had 5 interceptions. The Bulldogs took 1 shot off frame.

Aces' Bats Come Up Big In Win Against Wayne City

Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity weathered a push by Wayne City in the fifth inning where Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity coughed up five runs, but Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity still won 18-9 on Thursday. Wayne City's big inning was driven by singles by Mays and Lewis and a double by Schursher.

Both offenses were strong at the plate as Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity collected 15 hits and Wayne City seven in the high-scoring affair

Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity got things started in the second inning. An error scored one run for Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity.

Thomas Stringfellow led the Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity to victory on the pitcher's mound. Stringfellow went four innings, allowing three runs on four hits and striking out four. JD Bowser and Reese Linson entered the game out of the bullpen and helped to close out the game in relief.

Lewis took the loss for Wayne City. The pitcher lasted one and two-thirds innings, allowing three hits and eight runs while striking out one.

Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity racked up 15 hits on the day. Tye Kanipe, Gehrig Jones, Stringfellow, Cohen Peter, and Kaleb Applebey each managed multiple hits for Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity. Jones and Kanipe each managed three hits to lead Mt. Carmel Golden Aces Varsity.

Schursher led Wayne City with two hits in five at bats.

Soccer Aces Split Against Centralia and Olney

Aces Soccer Report From Ed Berberich:

The MCHS soccer Aces split 2 games recently, traveling to Centralia and losing 4-3, then hosting Olney 2 days later and winning 7-0.

Against Centralia, Britton Heinrich scored 2 goals with Levi Beesley getting the third. Assisting on the goals were Rayce Loudermilk and Heinrich. The Aces took 14 shots, 9 on frame, created 8 additional scoring chances and had 10 interceptions. Tye Kanipe had 3 saves in goal. Centralia took 8 shots, 4 on frame. This was a back & forth affair that we really felt we should have won but some bad luck, and bad plays, on Centralia throw-ins doomed us in this one as they scored 3 of their goals directly from throw-in plays. That's something you rarely see but being a physically smaller team generally we've struggled with clearing throw-ins and corner kicks out of the box. Adding to those struggles is the fact that we've not had the practice time to be able to work on it. We did enough on the field to get the win if we had been sharper, and/or had a bit of luck on our side, on those plays.

In the Olney match, Heinrich scored 3 goals, with Eli Bertram, Jarrett West, Ethan Belt and Rayce Loudermilk scoring 1 apiece. Assisting on the goals were Belt and Rayce Loudermilk with 2 apiece and Ivan Holt with 1. The Aces took 28 shots, 22 on frame, & created 7 additional scoring chances. Tye Kanipe got the shut-out in goal with 1 save. Olney took 2 shots, 1 on frame. This game was similar statistically to our match with Olney last year, which ended in a tie, but this time we finished much better. We also just played with more intensity as I think the guys had last year's result in their minds and didn't want a repeat of that. It was a good bounce-back effort from the team.
