Final Day at Nationals

 

Game 12:  (9-2-1); EKL (3-1-1)
29 April vs. Divine Savior (4-1)







Early Saturday morning (9:45) the Saints wrapped up Nationals with a match against the top team out of Wisconsin, Divine Savior. The girls were coming off two 1-0 losses and one strong talent show.

And the talent show won out, as the Saints rolled to a 4-1 win over a very good Divine Savior team—and the Saints cashed a corner.

We got to see some great combination play from Sydney and Anisten. And even with Andi sitting out from yesterday's head shot, the defense did not allow much of anything. Savior scored off a long free kick, without much else in the form of attack for the entire match.

They did generate 5 corners for the game.

The Saints are back home next Tuesday to take on Bishop Miege and home for Senior Night against DeSoto on Thursday. We only have 4 matches left before post season.

"Kansas Covered" Covers Latest Saint Title

Aquinas adds another chapter to storied soccer history, downs Carroll for 3-peat 5/27/2023 8:11:06 PM By:  Todd Fertig, KSHSAA Covered Contributor  Story Links St. Thomas Aquinas has another girls soccer trophy to put on the shelf. The Saints won their third straight and 18 th  overall Saturday, downing Bishop Carroll 2-0 at the Class 5A State Championship in Topeka.    Prior to Saturday, Bishop Carroll had permitted just one goal to an opponent from within the borders of the state of Kansas all season. Aquinas equaled that total in a flash. Vanderbilt-commit Sydney Watts took a pass from the left side from Maggie O’Keefe and split the defense for a goal just two minutes into the contest.    “We saw the stats, so we knew immediately that they were strong in the back and they were going to make it tough on us,” said first-year Aquinas coach Dan Brown. “So, we made it our goal to try to get on the board early. And we got one two minutes in, which really ...

Post Season Begins!

16 May 2023 vs. Shawnee Heights (4-0) Game 17: 14-2-1 2023 STATS The Saints finished the regular season strong, winning the EKL, with a 13-2-1 record, and beating some big time teams to end it. All of that gave us just this one home game tonight as the 5-seed in the Northeast—now that's a bit odd, but it all started with our first dose of Topeka. 6-9-1 Heights kept the score reasonable as we only lead 1-0 at half, winning 4-0. We did hold possession most of the time, and only rarely did the Thunderbirds cross midfield—but they played hard for the entire game, and their keeper was active, saving quite a few shots.  The Thuderbirds created a few stats in the second half—a shot on goal and a couple of corners For us, the only worry is Alexis, as she landed funny fairly early in the second half. I am sure only an MRI will tells us for sure if her knee made it through the fall in tack (a late-night report suggested she was going to be ok). Let's hope so. She has been so good all sea...
