Game Summary:
This season featured another evenly played match between these two lakeshore communities. Last year’s game ended in a 0-0 draw; however, it was different this year as the Shoregals were able to notch a goal early in the second half for 1-0 victory.
It was Allie Heschel’s birthday on this game day and while some people like to celebrate with cake, ice cream, and presents – it was Heschel who delivered a present to the Shoregals as she scored the only goal of the game which turned out to be a game winner. With about 7 minutes gone in the second half, Heschel took a pass from Kellie Norris which she shot towards the Lakewood goal. The goalie was able to make a play on the ball, but was not able to field it cleanly. Heschel alertly kept following up on her shot and when the goalie bobbled the ball, Heschel was right there and managed to steal it away and put it into an empty net. This goal was a vindication of sorts as Heschel incurred a yellow card earlier in the match for running into the goalie on another play where she was following up on a shot.
Once again, the Shoregal defense was able to make this goal stand up as they recorded their third shutout in a row. To give some perspective on how well the defense has played, in the last 19 matches played, 13 of them ended in shutouts by the Avon Lake defense and they have only given up 8 goals in that stretch. That is simply superb soccer! So major congrats to goalie Elise Duvall who registered the 12th shutout of her career and the main defensive core of Kellie Norris, Addy Poole, Maggie Moore, Lauren Anthony, Mae Quinn, Olivia Hall, and Kelly Spitz as well.
In JV action, oddly enough the Shoregals won by a score of 9-0 which was exactly the score of the JV game from last year. The JV Shoregals now move their record to 2-1-1 on the season.

We would like thank both Brian Spitz and Matt Litzler for posting game pics to a Shutterfly account. You may find the account at:
Once there, you will need to create a sign in for security purposes and then you can browse, download, or purchase the pics that you see. There will most likely be an album for each game. See a sample pic below of goalie Elise Duvall getting ready to make a save vs. Avon.....
