LCS on Cruise Control in Victory Over Windermere

LAKELAND | If Lakeland Christian School girls soccer goalie Lydia Cagle had a cellphone in her pocket during the game Wednesday night, she could have texted a few friends.

The Vikings’ defense held Windermere Prep to just two shots – one each half – during their entire 6-0 victory over the Lakers in the Class 1A quarterfinals at Vikings Stadium.

“She (Cagle) always gives me glares when we’re in situations like this,” Lakeland Christian head coach Jason Streets said. more

LORETTO, Pa. (August 13, 2012) – The Saint Francis University women’s soccer team hauled in plenty of hypothetical hardware on Monday, despite not yet officially opening its 2012 season.

Red-shirt junior forward Tesa McKibben (Cogan Station, Pa./Montoursville) and junior defenderAlecia McNiff (Marietta, Pa./Donegal ) highlighted SFU’s haul from College Sports Madness earning offensive and defensive player of the year nods, respectively.  Ninth-year Flash head coach Brenda van Stralen was also tabbed as the preseason favorite to win her third consecutive Coach of the Year trophy.

McKibben, who opens the season in search of an unprecedented third NEC Player of the Year designation, was picked to the site’s first team along with McNiff and junior midfielderStephanie Boulter (Poolesville, Md./Poolesville).  Sophomores Eloá Nascimento (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Jose Maria Matosinho) and Mackenzie Walter (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) were both picked to the preseason second team. morehttp://pagirlssoccer.com/2012/08/15/preseason-honors-pour-in-for-red-flash/

GULF COAST TEXANS Win WPSL Championship

PENSACOLA, Fla. — They call Shakira Duncan “S-Money” and Tina Murray “T-Money.” Should it be “M-Money” for Mia Persson?

The Swedish midfielder punctuated a superb performance Sunday with two goals as the Gulf Coast Texans outclassed a weary, shorthanded Aztec MA side on their home field to claim their first Women’s Premier Soccer League championship.

Persson, from NAIA powerhouse Lindsey Wilson College, scored a 21st-minute opener, then completed a three-goals-in-10-minutes stretch midway thyrough the second half for the Texans (11-0-0) that ended any remaining doubt.

Danish forward Ida Gregersen and Jamaican star Duncan also tallied, and Murray, Duncan’s countrywoman, ignited from the left flank an attack that put up 23 shots (to five for Aztec) in a comprehensive performance at Ashton Brosnaham Stadium. more

Soccer star critical after staph infection leads to massive stroke

A Webber International University freshman and former Winter Haven soccer star is fighting for her life after a growth on a heart valve created by a staph infection broke away, traveled to her brain and caused a massive stroke.

Bailee Kent, 18, is in critical condition at Tampa General Hospital. The bacteria that infected her heart valve broke off and traveled in her blood stream to her brain before doctors could operate on her heart. Kent now needs a new heart valve and could be forced to undergo brain surgery.

A Facebook page called “TeamBK6” has been created, with more than 1,400 member joining to offer support and encouragement to Kent and her family. more

Wildcats Open Training

The first half of the scrimmage featured the returning players to the team competing against the group of newcomers to this year’s roster.

Terrones provided offense

SEBRING - When Lake Placid forward Yuribia Terrones was on the move with the ball, good things usually happened for the Green Dragons girls soccer squad.
Terrones, a four-year varsity starter, scored a team- and county-high 30 goals this past season and broke the Lake Placid school record with 70 goals in her stellar high school career.
Terrones, who also had 15 assists, would have scored more goals in her final year on the pitch, but was moved to midfielder to help out the Lake Placid defense on numerous occasions.
"Yuribia was a captain and team player and would do whatever it took to help us," said Green Dragon girls soccer coach John Merlo. "She would have scored a bunch more goals if we hadn't of moved her, but she just wanted to help us win. more
