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.

Shorecrest MD Green Girls Soccer Road Trip! (Nov. 18, 2011)

Nov. 18, 2011: Shorecrest Green 1, St. Stephens 0

The Girls Middle Division Green Team opened their 2011-12 season with a thrilling victory over St. Stephens School of Bradenton winning by a score of 1 - 0.

The entire team contributed to the victory. Nicole Levine scored the game's only goal assisted by Caya Sabota. Kendall Pope and Holly Morris had a combined total of six shots on goal, while Camille Pillot, Laura Heagy, Madison Holt, and Kim Bastas helped control mid field play. Breck Tanner showed great poise assisting both at midfield and up front.

The defense was anchored by keeper Olivia Dannemiller who had seven saves while recording the shutout. Defenders Multy Oliver, Mariah Vesely, Harsheen Marwah, and Chayton Hemsey shut down the potent St. Stephens attack.

Amazing Goalies Saves in Girls Soccer!

Nov. 16, 2011: Berkeley Prep 6, Chargers 0

The first game of the 2011-12 MD Girls Soccer season kicked off at the Florida Power field on Wednesday, November 16 with the Gold team losing 6-0 to a bigger, more experienced Berkeley Prep team. But the score was hardly the story of the game as the shock for many Chargers in playing their first MD game on a full-size field wore off by the first water break and the defense settled down. Four goals were scored by Berkeley by the water break but none after that before the second half. Goalie Olivia D. stopped 8 of 12 shots on goal, many in spectacular fashion.

In the second half, first-time goalie Jessie J. stepped in and handled 2 of 3 shots on goal -- a dramatic statement by a defense that rapidly learned from the game's start and visibly frustrated the visitors. Berkeley scored its final goal on a corner kick that Jessie initially handled but that ultimately scooted in on a rebound chip shot. Outstanding defensive work in the game was demonstrated by Elizabeth H., Madison H. and Multy O. The Chargers girls managed two shots on goal, both in the final 15 minutes, both by Sam E.

Shorecrest MD Girls Soccer 1 Indian Rocks Christian 3 (Dec. 13)

The coldest game of the year for the Middle Division Girls Soccer team was on Monday, December 13 at Indian Rocks Christian. The game started with the referee encouraging players to wear sweatshirts under their jerseys and to put on hats and gloves — whatever would keep them warm.

The second of three goals scored against the Chargers in the first half came with two IRC strikers — not one, mind you, but two — waiting for a pass beyond Shorecrest's defenders and not being called for offsides. Not that the visitors had a monopoly on unhappiness with the game calling. The home coach received a rare yellow card in the second half for vociferously arguing a tripping call that actually favored her team.

The "discussion" consumed nearly seven minutes of playing time after the Chargers scored their first and only goal on a heads-up pass from Taylor A. to Kendall P. Highlights in the game included a hot hand by goalie Katie J., who stopped all eight IRC shots in the second half, keeping her teammates in the game. On the defensive side, Sage F., Multy O. and Caitlin B. played with great heart and made key plays.

The 3-1 loss drops the team's record to 6-3 overall, 5-1 against middle school teams.
