Dec. 8 Game Result: Shorecrest 4, Seffner Christian 3

Finally! Two enormous cheers erupted -- on the field and on the bench -- as the Chargers MD Girls Gold team had its first shot on goal and its first goal scored for Shorecrest in a road game at Seffner Christian on Thursday, Dec. 8. Breck T. had Gold's first shot on goal (three games into the season) and minutes later, Ashley B. became the squad's first player to find the net. Olivia R. (shots) and Camille P. (assists) -- on loan from the Green squad -- combined on two additional scores, one in each half. Caya S. (two), Kim B. and Olivia D. also had shots on goal in the game. Early into the second half, Breck T. also put a ball in the net, her point being the difference maker in an electrifying 4-3 final score.

Carly T., Hannah L., Julia G., Jessie J., Karli M. and Sarah F. worked extremely hard as strikers and midfielders and continually to demonstrate marked improvement in their positions.

In goal, Olivia D. stopped five of six shots with Jessie J. going one for three.

The defense was once more electrifying in the game with kudos to Harsheen M., Laura H., Wendy D., Elizabeth H., Karli M. and Madison H. for repeatedly frustrating the Seffner Christian offense and dramatically reducing the number of shots against Shorecrest compared with its game two days early vs. Sarasota Christian.

The Gold team's record is now 2-2.

December 2, 2011: Shorecrest 7, Keswick Christian 0

The Shorecrest Middle Division Girls Gold soccer team came out swinging at Keswick Christian on Friday, Dec. 2, scoring a big victory, 7-0. The game was unusual as it was actually played by a hybrid squad, with middle school players from Gold, Green and even JV filling in for 6th graders away on the Pathfinders trip.

Despite the high score, it was actually the Chargers defense that shone brightest in this game, allowing just three shots on goal in the entire game, two handled by Olivia D., one by Sophie W., making her debut in the position. That earned a tip o' the hat to Multy O., Madison H., Laura H., Peninah B. and Sage F.

On the offensive side of the game, a slow first 15 minutes led to an explosion the rest of the way, with 27 shots on goal. Holly M. and Nicole M. led the team with two goals each, followed by single scores by Sophie W., Olivia R. and Camille P. Seven girls earned assists, including two each for Kendall P. and Olivia R. and single credits for Olivia D., Peninah B, and Camille P.

The victory improved the combined MD Girls record to 2-3.
