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.

Shorecrest MD Girls Soccer 3 Indian Rocks Christian 2 (Nov. 30)

In one of its most hard-fought victories in the last four years, the Shorecrest Girls Middle Division Soccer team beat a tenacious squad from Indian Rocks Christian by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday, November 30. The game was remarkable in part for the way the Chargers' shots-on-goal attack changed at the half.

In the first half, the girls managed only one shot on goal, and fortunately it was productive, a point scored by Sophie W. (and assisted by Nicole L.). On the other side of the field in the first half, goalie Olivia D. allowed only one shot to score against the seven shots she stopped.

In the second half, the Chargers' offense came alive. Kendall P. took three consecutive shots on the team's first three possessions (eventually adding two more attempts). Holly M. took a shot on goal, and Sophie W. had two more attempts. Taylor A. made good on two of her six shots, enough to make the difference in the final score. Keeper Olivia D. stopped another five of six shots.

Coming through big on defense in the game were Brandee T. at sweeper and Sage F., who at one point in the second half was like a freight train streaking down the field from a defensive position to overtake an IRC striker on the verge of shooting and stealing the ball from her. The victory increased the MD Girls' record to 3-1.
