Game Summary:
The Shoregals got off to a somewhat slow start against Elyria, but once they got going the goals started flying in left and right in a 8-0 victory over the Pioneers. The Shoregals have not scored as many as 8 goals in the past 100+ matches dating back to the 2008 season when they beat Lorain Southview in a playoff game by a score of 11-0.
Leading off the scoring in a most fitting manner was #1 Paige Hood who scored the first goal of the game and of the season on a pass from Lindsay Butler midway through the first half. Then 10 minutes later, Kellie Norris headed a corner kick from Hood to give Avon Lake a 2-0 lead at the half.
In the second half, it was anchors aweigh for the Shoregals as they scored 6 goals led off by Allie Heschel assisted by Amber Achladis. Next up was a header by Olivia Siko off a corner kick by Addy Poole. Heschel scored again on a pass from Butler, then Kelly Spitz lit up the scoreboard on a pass from Hood. Rounding out the scoring were unassisted goals from Jackie Rush and Mae Quinn.
In goal for the Shoregals were Elise Duvall and Danielle DelGuidice who combined for the shutout while Elyria goalie Sabrina Johnson faced 21 shots on goal saving 13.
In JV action, the team that forgot how to lose actually did lose snapping a 30 match unbeaten streak dating back to the 3rd game of the 2013 season. As Elyria is not able to field a JV team this season, Strongsville was invited in and prevailed with a rare victory over the Shoregals by the final of 1-0.
Here is a summary of our 3rd game against Avon:
AL vs. Avon 8/26/15
AL 2 Avon 0
Goals:
AL - Jackie Rush, Olivia Siko
Av - None
Assists:
AL - Mariella Lopez
Av - None
Goalies:
AL - Elise Duvall - 3 saves
Av - Maggie Beatty - 2 saves
Game Summary:
It was Déjà vu all over again when Avon and Avon Lake play echoing the words of the famous quote from famed baseball player Yogi Berra. Once again, as it has been in the recent history of this rivalry, the teams were equally matched and deadlocked in a scoreless tie. Last year it was the Sectional championship game where both teams played to a scoreless draw through regulation time and then Mariela Lopez sent a crossing pass to Jackie Rush who netted the dramatic game winner in OT. This year the game was an evenly played scoreless match through the first 60 minutes and then Lopez found Rush again with a great pass that Rush drilled into the back of the net to break the Eagles hearts yet another time. Then two minutes later Olivia Siko took a free kick from 25 yds. out and placed it perfectly just under the crossbar to put the game out of reach.
The play of the defense was also reminiscent of last year’s 9 consecutive shutouts as they held Avon scoreless and only allowed 3 shots on goal. The Shoregal defense was led by Maggie Moore, Mae Quinn, Kellie Norris, and Lauren Anthony with subs Addy Poole and Olivia Hall also playing key roles. In the goal was senior Elise Duvall who recorded the 11th shutout of her career.
In JV action, the Shoregals battled to a 1-1 draw with the JV Eagles. The Avon Lake goal was scored by sophomore Ashley Nally. The JV Shoregals record now moves to 1-1-1 on the season.
