Updates for the week of 4/9

First in freshman soccer, a solid win for the freshman against Lafayette last Friday 1-0.  The score does not reflect the possession dominance and we were unlucky to not get a few more.  Freshman team is on the road this week with games at Hazelwood West on Monday and Marquette on Wednesday.

J.V. and Varsity are also on the road all week.  The two teams battle Marquette and Oakville on Tuesday and Thursday this week.  Both teams then travel to Columbia for matches against Hickman Friday night.  Contrary to past years, this will be a one night event, with a return trip to St. Louis that evening.  We will provide bus transportation to and from the event.  Players will be dismissed at 12:45 on Friday will the bus leaving by 1.  Games are at 5 and 6:30.  The j.v. continued its winning ways with a solid 4-0 victory against Rock Bridge on Saturday.  The varsity conceded a first half goal and despite a strong assault in the second half they couldn't climb back into the game and fell to Rock Bridge 0-1.

Mike Butz has sent out an email regarding our upcoming trivia night.  I will also be providing the girls a hard copy of this information this week.

Remember:  Be the One!

Reminder about weekend games

Just a reminder to all that we have games over the 3 day weekend break on all levels.  The freshman team is in action at 4 on Friday at Lafayette.  Varsity and junior varsity are both in action at noon on Saturday hosting Rock Bridge.  The varsity team will not practice on Friday.

Daily report for Tuesday 4/3

Overall, a successful Monday of games with all 3 levels in action.  On the freshman level, we travelled to Clayton where our girls were very successful in a 6-0 victory.  At home, the junior varsity totally dominated Mehlville with a 9-0 victory.  I was very impressed with the flow of the game and the possession.  Way to go j.v.!!  The varsity was held to a 0-0 tie under odd circumstances.  We were not able to turn on the lights to the field and the officials were forced to halt the game due to limited sight.  The varsity clearly had the better of the play in the second half with Mehlville twice having to clear off their line.  I don't remember a Mehlville shot on goal in the second half as the defense did an outstanding job of covering for each other.

Practice today for all 3 levels.  J.V. and Varsity in action Wednesday at Parkway South at 4:15 and 6.  Freshman in action on Friday at Lafayette.

You will be getting info about our fun and exciting Trivia Night this week.  Also, there are forms circulating for players and parents for spirit wear.  I wrapped up our coupon book sales and they were an amazing success.  23 girls sold enough books, 15, to earn a warm up jacket and another 13 sold enough to get the drawstring bag.  Those should be in late next week. 

Today 3/2 in Lindbergh soccer

Hope everyone had a great weekend and ready to get back into the swing with our teams.  All 3 levels are in action today.  Varsity and J.V. are at home with games at 4 and 6.  The freshman travel to Clayton for a 4 p.m. game.  Several people have inquired about needing schedules and rosters.  Coaches on all levels have passed them out and if you need additional copies please check with the coach on that level to get some more.  We will have copies of the varsity/j.v. roster at our first home games today for distribution.

Flyers Soccer Update 3/29

First, a tough loss for the freshman yesterday.  I got to see the second half and it was all Lindbergh at that point.  A lot of quality possession and strong efforts to use the whole field.  Although we lost 1-2, no doubt that our girls showed a much higher quality of play.  Freshman continue play today with a home game at 4.

The varsity is in action at 4 at Hazelwood West today.

Thanks to soccer mom Laura Rossi for putting together a spirit wear order form.  Players should be getting these today through their teams.  We want a quick turnaround on these so if you plan on ordering, we would like to get forms back by next Tuesday.

Results from 3/27

Congratulations to the freshman and junior varsity teams for their wins yesterday.  The freshman kicked off their season with a 4-0 victory over Parkway North.  They will continue play today with another home game in the Lindbergh Invitational.  The junior varsity continued their winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Webster Groves. 

In varsity action last night, the varsity could not find the equalizing goal and came out with a defeat against Triad 1-2.  The varsity will practice today and resume competition tomorrow, Thursday, in the Hazelwood Tournament.

New local soccer website- check it out!

I just wanted to send you info on a new local soccer website soccerstl.net  They covered the varsity game last night and he's got a couple photos up on the high school page already and is supposed to be posting more soon.  This site is inot to be confused with stlsoccer.net, which is another good source of local soccer news but tends to get a little crazy on the message boards some time.
