Lady Twisters Soccer Team Win Over Lady Owls

SoccerSaturday morning at the graveyard, OA took on Seymour High School winning 5-3.

OA came out and played really well in the first half and found the net 5 times. First goal came 7 minutes into the first half when Sarah Wilder placed a perfect ball to sophomore Haleigh Reed. Goals number two and three came from senior captain Kirsten Ricke. Ricke found her first goal by a shot by Wilder that was deflected by the keeper and Ricke was there to follow. Her second goal came 45 seconds later when she had a great shot from 25 yards out that went in to the upper 90. OA continued to control the game and with 4 minutes left in the first half, freshman Ava Geers was able to find the net with an assist from Ella Lamping. The final shot came with 3 minutes left in the first half when sophomore Elizabeth Schulte shot 30 yards out and placed the ball just over the keepers head. Seymour was able to score with two minutes left in the first half when the defense had a small let down.

Seymour came out ready to play in the second half and was able to find the net two times. Haleigh Reed had the best game of her high school career; she has truly been able to take on the role of working in the middle of the field with Wilder. Reed now has 10 goals on the season. OA ended with 35 shots and 18 shots on goal. Regan Weberding recorded 8 saves on the day.

OA improves to 8-2 on the season.  This week OA will play South Ripley High School and Providence High School. Saturday 9/20 at the graveyard will be “Senior Day”, everyone should come out to support our seniors!
