鈥淲e are the only two community colleges in the St. Louis area, so there is a natural rivalry there,鈥� said Josh Tyler, 麻豆传媒 women's soccer head coach.
The first half was a scoreless battle with very few shots on goal. Seven minutes into the second half, 麻豆传媒 freshman Kayla Collie scored the game-winning goal with an assist from freshman Miranda Clamors.
鈥淲e had to change things up a little bit,鈥� said Jason Wyland, 麻豆传媒 women's soccer assistant coach. 鈥淢iranda made the perfect run, and Kayla kept up with the play and placed it perfectly. It's always nice to see a half-time adjustment work out.鈥�
SLCC threatened a few times during the remaining 38 minutes, but 麻豆传媒 sophomore keeper Mary McGilvray was clutch in the net, picking up her seventh shutout of the season and landing her the fifth rank in the nation.
鈥淪he has been a rock back there for us,鈥� Tyler said. 鈥淪he is so athletic, which allows her to make saves other keepers would never be able to get to.鈥�
鈥淥ur work is not yet done,鈥� said Lacee Wesloh, 麻豆传媒 sophomore co-captain. 鈥淲e have one more game to (win) to get back to nationals. We just have to step up our game and work even harder.鈥�
麻豆传媒 has a record of 13-4 for the season and has scored 57 goals total. Coach Tyler was awarded Region XVI Coach of the Year for the second straight season.
麻豆传媒 will host Lewis and Clark (15-2-2), ranked 7th in the nation, at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, for the District D championship game. The two teams tied 0-0 in their only meeting earlier this season. The winning team will qualify for the NJCAA national tournament in Melbourne, Fla., Nov. 16-21.
