October 16, 2008 - SECTIONAL FINAL
Canal Winchester 0 Upper Arlington 10
“Second tournament game for us last game for them” was the Indians chant as they hit the road to battle the bear skin rugs. The effort was given but the results were in UA’s favor.

A season of accomplishment ended with a young Indian team winning seven games and tying four. Nine new starters took the field in August. The 2008 squad played with heart and tenacity; a season well done. Four new backs took some lumps but improved with every match. Katie Hahn the sweeper added maturity beyond her 9th grade status, a converted striker Kacy Allen provided leadership from her central back position. Both Emilie Lance and Ama Winland developed into solid man markers who did not yield goals. Ama added two scores with ferocious headers.

The mid field was collection of 8 players, rotating in and out with excellent result. Fore most was 3rd Team D1 All District Whitney McDonald, scoring 14 goals with 5 assists. Whit ran our offence and some time filled in as a back. Following in her footsteps was “Easy” Ashley Wolcott. Ashley was often assigned to mark a player out of the game; her energy level was second to none. The out sides rotated effectively with Taylor Tackett, Brittney Carroll, Heather Linn, Kaleigh Delong, Jordan Guiler, Amber Wolcott and Kyrstin Warnimont. Injuries took its toll on the outside mids but as a group the remaining available adjusted and worked well together. The strikers were led by senior and captain Nikki Ternasky. Nikki gave the team a spark with her drive to goal, scoring 8 goals and two assists, earning 2nd team all league. Rachel Monsour and Taylor Tackett provided balance combining for seven goals and six assists.

Keeper Lauren Tolman had 101 saves. A first time started Lauren filled Jordan Osborn’s big shoes with out missing a beat. She became a leader on the field during practices and matches, earning 2nd team all league.

Rounding out the team was a senior Shukri Farah and first year Alex Cremeans. Shukri demonstrated the how too for the squad. She showed all that work is what brings improvement. Alex is an excellent goal keeper and worked to keep her self sharp for any eventuality. She also filled in on the field as a striker and mid.

Canal Winchester’s season record is 7-6-4.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Kacy Allen, Emilie Lance, Whitney McDonald, Katie Hahn, Rachel Monsour, Ashley Wolcott, Brittney Carroll, Taylor Tackett, Nikki Ternasky and Ama Winland

October 14, 2008 - SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT
Canal Winchester 2 Groveport 1
The tournament had arrived and the Indians were ready for the Cruisers. Enjoying the home atmosphere the Indians were anxious to earn a chance to play Upper Arlington and the only way there was to cruise Groveport around and out of town.

The start was not in the script. On the first couple of touches a long ball was played in to Katie Hahn sweeping in front of the Indian keeper Lauren Tolman. As Katie looked for the dust pan another Hahn, Kourtney snatched up the lose ball and punished the Indians, 1-0 Groveport.

The next 15 minutes went decidedly to the Indians; multiple attackers were launched again and again. The attacks were brilliant the finishing was not. Unlike horse shoes close gets you no points.

Slight adjustments in practice moved Ama Winland on frees and corners to the back post. The practice paid better dividends then Wall Street. No bail out for the Cruisers today. Earning a corner kick, Whit McDonald sent a ball to the far post. Ama thundered in and headed the ball to the back of the net. The score was emphatic, 1-1.

The half time speech focused on taking away space, putting balls thru on the ground and taking shots. One field adjustment was made; Katie Hahn was mover up to center mid to spice up the Indian attack.

Two key events occurred in the second stanza. First gave the Indians enough points to advance and the second saved those points. 14 minutes in to the period, Katie Hahn spotted Nikki Ternasky on the flank with space in front. A well weighted ball put Nikki in at full speed. Nikki drew out the keeper, cut her out of the play and calmly nipped the ball into the net: Indians 2 Groveport 1. The second crucial play occurred with 8 minutes to go, Groveport’s Kourtney Hahn gather a rebound and ran past the Indian defense. One v one with the keeper, a classic confrontation won by Lauren Tolman. Lauren controlled her run until Kourtney played the ball just a bit too far in front, out zipped Lauren gobbling up the ball and the Cruiser’s dreams. Good night ladies its time to see you go!

Keeper Lauren Tolman had 4 saves. The entire Indian squad contributed to the win. Amber Wolcott out since the match against Bishop Ready was cleared to play.

Canal Winchester’s record is 7-5-4. Next up is an away tournament match with Upper Arlington, Thursday October 16 at 7 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Kacy Allen, Emilie Lance, Whitney McDonald, Katie Hahn, Rachel Monsour, Ashley Wolcott, Brittney Carroll, Taylor Tackett, Nikki Ternasky and Ama Winland

Canal Winchester 0 Amanda Clearcreek 1
The final match of the regular season was upon the soccer tribe. Hard to believe the work that started in June was coming to a close. The Indians knew that Amanda would be come out hard. That was the Indian’s plan a well. The early action favored the Indians. In one sequence of events, Whit McDonald played Nikki Ternasky in on the keeper. Nikki faked out the keeper and sent the ball in towards goal, a tally seemed certain. On the goal line a desperate Aces’ toe arrived in the nick of time to deny the Indian effort. That would be the story of the night. Chances were created over and over again with only a desperate effort tuning back the Indians. The Indians returned the favor to the Aces. The defense played like ladies with there hair on fire. Alas in one scrum, a Smith for Amanda got her toe to the ball and that was that. One would be enough. Keeper Lauren Tolman had 6 saves. Canal Winchester’s record is 6-5-4.

Canal Winchester 0 Fisher Catholic 0
The Indians traveled south to match wits with Fisher Catholic. The Fisher home field is not the most welcoming pitch in central Ohio. The field falls about 8’ from one end to the other and is as smooth as a waffle iron.

The Indian’s plan was to give Fisher the advantage in the first stanza. The goal was to have a lead and then getting the hill for the second period, putting Fisher at a big disadvantage. Most of the plan worked, the Indians did not concede many opportunities to the Irish. The same could be said of the Irish. A lot of heavy work was done by the Indian back five: Katie Hahn, Ama Winland, Emilie Lance and Kacy Allen and keeper Lauren Tolman. Six solid attacks were turned away as a clean sheet was maintained.

Scoring opportunities increased for the Indians with the advantage of the hill but three point blank opportunities went for nothing. Ashley Walcott, Katie Hahn, Taylor Tackett, Rachel Monsour, Nikki Ternasky, Brittney Carroll, Heather Linn, Whit McDonald and Jordan Guiler pushed hard against the goal, stringing passes together, overlapping and ripping the ball towards the net. Alas the effort was not rewarded; the gang that could not shoot straight rode off into the sunset, sad and unhappy with a tie.

Bright spot were many; keeper Lauren Tolman had 8 saves, keeping a clean sheet.

Canal Winchester’s record is 6-4-4. Next up is an away match with Amanda Clearcreek, Thursday October 9 at 7:15 PM.

The match with Columbus Academy is cancelled; the first tournament match is home against Groveport Madison, Tuesday Oct 14 at 7 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Kacy Allen, Emilie Lance, Whitney McDonald, Katie Hahn, Heather Linn, Ashley Wolcott, Brittney Carroll, Taylor Tackett, Nikki Ternasky and Ama Winland

Canal Winchester 2 Bloom Carroll 2
Shoot for the Cure and Senior Night, a big evening for the Indians and the arch rivals were in town. Does it get any better? Once again the Indians would contest the pitch with the Bulldogs. There was going to be some yipping and yapping tonight.

Players were flying around from the first whistle. Nobody was giving an inch, both offences searched for an opportunity. The Indians struck first, up the filed the Indian attacked flowed. Ashley Walcott grabbed the sphere away from Brooke Smith and sent a quick ball across the top of the 18 to Whit McDonald. Whit snapped it up and drove in on goal, as the Dog defense reacted Whit shocked them with a laser to the net; 1-0 Indians.

The Dogs were howling and the Indians were prowling, pushing hard to goal. Nikki Ternasky flew up the right side, her mark chocking on the dust. Jessica Long shot in from her sweeper position crashing in to Nikki. The eagle eyed official had seen enough, awarding a shot from the spot. Whit Mc Donald stepped up and smoked GK Christin Anson for a 2-0 lead.

A foul gave the Indians a 2-0 lead and a foul would cut it in half. The Indian defense knocked down a Smith on the edge of the 18. Brooke Smith stepped up and sailed a curving shot into the top left corner of the net, 2-1 Indians.

The second stanza was more of the same, each team generated threats but no tallies. The Indians missing 2 point blank opportunities. The Indian lead lasted until the final 10 minutes. Looking to ice the match, the brain trust of the Indians sent Whit up from her sweeper position to take a corner kick. Just a minute before the same trust had switched Whit and Katie Hahn’s position. All this heavy thinking created a great opportunity for a Bulldog counter attack. Amy Anderson grabbed the rebound and shot up the field with Ashley Wolcott in hot pursuit. Ashley stopped the first attack but the ball ended up with Brooke Smith, a slow roller to the far post tied the match.

On the play Amy Anderson took a tumble and was taken off the field by the squad. After 15 minutes of worry the game resumed. The last Indian chance came when again a PK was awarded, alas the shot inched wide. The sore stayed knotted.

Bright spots were many; keeper Lauren Tolman had 9 saves, several where extraordinary. The entire Indian squad played a first class match: heading, winning 50 50’s, tight marking, moving the ball smartly. It was a joy to see. A special thanks to our three seniors, Brittney Carroll, Shukri Farah and Nikki Ternasky.

Canal Winchester’s record is 6-4-3. Next up is an away match with Fisher Catholic, Monday October 6 at 5 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Kacy Allen, Emilie Lance, Whitney McDonald, Shukri Farah, Katie Hahn, Ashley Wolcott, Brittney Carroll, Taylor Tackett, Nikki Ternasky and Ama Winland

Canal Winchester 2 Logan Elm 0
The Indians and the Braves met in the corn fields with Logan Elm figuring that tonight was the night. The Braves believed a real opportunity existed for victory, harking back to victories achieved in the pre season all seemed set for the Braves. To bad for the bunch from LE they had missed the point of pre season.

The Braves rely on Alicia Salyers to out work the opposition. A simple solution existed for the Indians, sic the energizer bunny on Alicia. Right from the start Ashley Wolcott hung around tic, tac and toeing the ball away; as the game worn on Alicia wore out but the energizer just kept on going and going.

Early pressure by the Indians stretched the Braves back line. While the Braves were adjusting to a threat up the middle, Taylor Tackett made a deep run up the right flank. In a wink, Whit McDonald slipped a ball to Taylor’s feet. Taylor took care of the rest, an arching banana shot flew in over Hannah Riffel. Game winner was in and only 6 minutes were needed. The rest would be easy, run a little here and run a little there. No sweat! The out side mids Heather Linn, Brittney Carroll, Kaleigh Delong and Taylor Tackett flew up and down creating opportunities while taking away the Braves offence.

Half time instruction were simple, connect passes and make the Brave defense commit. Keep them exposed to runs off the ball. Pressure was the word for the Indian defense.

The second half was more hard work by back 4, Ama Winland, Kacy Allen, Katie Hahn and Emilie Lance. Needing a score to level the match, the Braves were in a fever. Time and time again the back 4 denied them.

Mid way through the second period, Katie Hahn switched place with Whit McDonald and ran the offense for the rest of the game. One quick counter attack put the icing on the cake. Ashley Wolcott toed the ball away from Alicia Salyers and ripped it through a gap for Rachel Monsour. Rachel rumbled up on a curving run towards the near post, as the defense reacted Rachel sent a nice bending ball to the back of the net. 2-0 Indians and the rest was history. Nothing left but a bus ride.

One bright spot was keeper Lauren Tolman who had 7 saves and earned a shut out. The other bright spot was the collective effort by the entire team on defense. The Indians flew around battling the Braves for every ball.

Canal Winchester’s record is 6-4-2. Next up is the Shoot for the Cure and senior night match with Bloom Carroll, Thursday October 2 at 7:15 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Kacy Allen, Emilie Lance, Whitney McDonald, Shukri Farah, Katie Hahn, Ashley Wolcott, Brittney Carroll, Heather Linn, Nikki Ternasky and Kaleigh Delong

Canal Winchester 2 Bishop Ready 3
The Indians bunched up Saturday morning to prepare for the Knights. Every thing was ready but the mojo was missing. Who had it was any one’s guess!

The Knights came out strong slamming and bamming their way to an early 1-0 lead. A hard run up the right side put Heather Manning along the end line. Played in the ball was parried away. Lauren Graessel waiting at the 18 snapped up the lose ball and ripped in a shot to the top 1/3 and a Knight lead.

The Indians were not daunted, a solid combination of touches between Whit McDonald, Nikki Ternasky, Heather Linn and Ashley Wolcott put Whit in possession about 30 yards from goal. Whit worked her way in through traffic creating a small crack in the Knight defense and that is all it took. Whit made keeper Williamson pay for her roaming with a nice curving ball to the back of the net, 1-1 all level.

The dust had hardly settled when Ashley Walcott was mugged in the box; luckily the squad was not needed. Whit McDonald stepped up and calmly tapped the ball to the back of the net, 2-1 Indians.

It seemed peaceful and good in Canal but it was only a false calm. The Ready duo of Heather Manning and Jessie Eramo with in the last 6 minutes of the half punished the Indians for a 3-2 lead. Each time Heather fed a waiting Eramo for a tap in.

The second stanza was hard fought but the result stood at 3-2 Ready. Rachel Monsour twisted her ankle to add injury to insult.

Bright spot keeper Lauren Tolman had 8 saves.

Canal Winchester’s record is 5-4-2. Next up is an away match with Logan Elm, Thursday September 25 at 7:15 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Emilie Lance, Kyrstin Warnimont Whitney McDonald, Ama Winland, Katie Hahn, Ashley Wolcott, Brittney Carroll, Shukri Farah, Nikki Ternasky and Rachel Monsour

Canal Winchester 6 Hamilton Township 0
The Indians went to raid the Rangers looking to gather win number 5. Still nursing injuries were Kacy Allen, Taylor Tackett, Jordan Guiler and Amber Wolcott. The rest of the party was fit and looking for a brawl.

Indian faithful got there money’s worth early, a delightful combination of touches put Whitney McDonald up the left side. On an inside overlap steamed Nikki Ternasky, Whit laid the ball in and Nikki one touched it wide to an on coming Ashley Wolcott. Game winner in the 2nd minute, the Indians could have gone home then, happy with a 1-0 victory.

The second tally was much like the first, just reversed. Ashley Wolcott rumbled up the right side with Rangers in hot pursuit. At the last moment Ashley zipped a ball to Heather Linn on the right flank for a nifty finish and a 2-0 lead.

Larceny resulted in the third tally. Whit swiped the sphere from Megan Campbell and lifted it over the back line as Nikki broke in on goal. Nikki gathered the ball and two steps later struck it past Jackie Moore for goal number 3.

The Indian half time focus was to settle down when taking shots. The Indian squad had 9 shots on goal and was hurrying their final touch; patience would result in better satisfaction then a save. The 2nd stanza would also include a keeper switch, Alex Cremeans switched from playing striker in the 1st to keeping in the 2nd. Additionally the Indians switched to a 3-4-3, moving Whit to sweeper and adding Rachel Monsour to the front line.

The revamped attacked quickly resulted in Nikki Ternasky’s 2nd goal of the match. Katie Hahn played Rachel Monsour into space. Rachel drew the defenders to her and beat them with a ball back to Nikki who whipped it into the net; 4-0 Indians.

There was constant pressure offered the Indians good scoring opportunities goal 5 resulted from a crafty combination. Whit McDonald from her deep spot beat the entire defense with one touch, passing the ball behind the Ranger back line for Rachel Monsour to police up and work down the left side. Rachel cut into goal and lifted the ball into the top 1/3 at the far post, 5-0.

All season long the Indians had suffered at the hands of corner kicks. Tonight saw a role reversal, the Indian set play sends Ama Winland up to the front post from her marking back position. Whit played in the corner for a near post shot. Ama did not disappoint, a quick header finished off the scoring and tieh Ranges 6-0.

Bright spots: Kyrstin Warnimont, Brittney Carroll, Whit McDonald and Katie Hahn had outstanding matches. Ashley Wolcott worked hard up and down the line. The Indian attack of Nikki Ternasky, Whit McDonald, Alex Cremeans, Ashley Walcott, Katie Hahn, Rachel Monsour, Brittney Carroll, Kaleigh Delong, Heather Linn, and Shukri Farah generated 16 shots on goal. Lauren Tolman had o saves in her half and Alex Cremeans had one in the 2nd period.

Canal Winchester’s record is 5-3-2. Next up is an away match with Bishop Ready, Saturday September 20 at 1 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Emilie Lance, Heather Linn, Whitney McDonald, Ama Winland, Katie Hahn, Ashley Wolcott, Brittney Carroll, Kaleigh Delong, Nikki Ternasky and Rachel Monsour

Canal Winchester 3 Zane Trace 2
The Indians faced Zane Trace on a beautiful night under the lights; just having lights no was no small feat in central Ohio. The CW squad planned to be like Ike and put the Pioneers lights out early.

Injuries sidelined Kacy Allen, Taylor Tackett, Jordan Guiler and Amber Wolcott while the early school year URI slowed others.

A revamped defense took the field; Katie Hahn stepped out as sweeper, Rachel Monsour in as central defender with Ama Winland and Emilie Lance man marking. Making their first starts was Shukri Farah and Alex Cremeans.

The packed house did not have to wait long for the action. Quickly up the right side combination play with Whit Mc Donald and Heather Linn put Nikki Ternasky and the ball on the end line, Nikki pushed hard against the Pioneer defense blasting a shot. Parried away the Indians struck again, alas off the wood work. Whit pounced and thundered a lightening strike that smoked both the pioneer keeper and the net.

The second tally was mush like the first, heavy pressure set up a try by Whitney McDonald. Again the wood work did the defense, luckily the rebounding ball fell to Nikki Ternasky’s feet. Nikki ripped in her 5th goal of the season for a 2-0 lead.

The Indian half time focus was getting the first score of the half, swinging the ball side to side to draw off the Pioneer sweeper, surround the goal, body position open to the ball and reduce space given to marks.

2-0 Indians and all seemed good. The warm and fuzzy feeling did not last long. A corner kick was earned by the Pioneers. Boom the ball was launched, in waltzed Tasha Harrington to cut the margin in half.

The second stanza’s action was hot and heavy. The Indians would really like to have a TV replay booth. In one strong corner kick, Kyrstin Warnimont jumped on the end of Whit’s kick and bulged the net. The Pioneer keeper swept the ball out and the game went on. The end line official a few yards short of that position missed the score. He must have known it because in the minute, Whit McDonald launched an in swinger and again over the line went the ball. Again it was swept out but on this occasion the Ref signaled the tally and a 3-1 lead.

The bane of the season returned with the same result. Plenty of corner defenses are practiced with little result. Keys are no space for strikers, break up their runs and clear it one touch before it hits the ground. All well and good but with 20 minutes to go, Tori Davis gave an excellent example of how it works when the defense breaks down. An uncontested header made the last 20 minutes very exciting for both clubs.

Bright spots: Kyrstin Warnimont had and outstanding match, working hard up and down the line. Rachel Monsour playing as the central back kept the ball back with our offense. The attacking 6 ( Nikki Ternasky, Whit McDonald, Alex Cremeans, Ashley Walcott, Brittney Carroll, Kaleigh Delong, Heather Linn, Shukri Farah) generated 15 shots on goal, forcing the Pioneer keeper to earn her money. Lauren Tolman had 2 saves.

Canal Winchester’s record is 4-3-2. Next up is an away match with Hamilton Township, Thursday September 17 at 6 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Emilie Lance, Heather Linn, Whitney McDonald, Ama Winland, Katie Hahn, Ashley Wolcott, Shukri Farah, Alex Cremeans, Nikki Ternasky and Rachel Monsour

Canal Winchester 0 Circleville 3
The season has begun to takes its toll on the Indians. Taylor Tackett, Amber Walcott, Jordan Guiler out with injuries. Nikki Ternasky was cleared to play with a brace. On top of that Circleville came in hungry for a win with a record of 3-4.

The Indians took no steps back, ready to give the Tigers all they wanted. Besides a new tiger skin hat would look nice. The first period was going swell except for a 5 minute span that saw the Tigers grab a quick 2-0 lead. Disaster seemed to be approaching but the Indians fought back pushing their attack while blunting Abbey Palmer’s runs. After the 2 quick goals Emilie Lance was assigned the task of shutting Abbey down and that is what happened for the rest of the half. Every where that Abbey went Emilie was sure to go.

The Indian half time focus was getting the first score of the half to begin the task of resting the match away from the Tigers. The Indians squad generated hard pressure and several chances seem in only to turn to disappointment.

The final score came off the mug of Lauren Tolman. Settling in to snag a long shot the ball slipped through Lauren’s fingers and bounced off her mug right to the feet of Abbey Palmer for a 3-0 Tiger lead. It was that kind of night.

Bright spots: The entire Indian squad work hard and played a better match then the score showed. The Indians earned good chances and only bad luck denied them some tallies. The Indians conceded 2 shots on goal the entire second stanza with keeper Lauren Tolman ending the match with 6 saves.

Canal Winchester’s record is 3-3-2. Next up is a home match with Zane Trace, Tuesday September 16 at 7:15 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Brittney Carroll, Emilie Lance, Heather Linn, Kaleigh Delong, Kacy Allen, Whitney McDonald, Ama Winland, Katie Hahn, Ashley Wolcott and Rachel Monsour.

Canal Winchester 3 Buckeye Valley 3
Bitter pill day for the Indians, ninety per cent of the match was well played by the Indians, the 10 % that wasn’t resulted in a tie.

Quickly out of the gate the Indians pressured the Buckeye Valley defense. In the 7th minute Taylor Tackett shot up the right side swinging in behind the Barons back line. Hard pursued by her marking back Taylor zipped the ball across into the path of Rachel Monsour’s run. Rachel finished putting the sphere into the net for a 1-0 lead.

Taylor was not finished just yet; only 2 minutes later Whit McDonald from her positions as sweeper delivered a ball past most of the Baron defense and to Taylor’s feet. Taylor out raced her defender creating a 1 v1 with the Baron keeper. 2-0 Indians as Taylor calmly dribbled around the flopping keeper for a 2-0 lead.

Just when all seemed hunky dory the scourge of the tribe hit again. The baron strikers pushed up hard and worked the ball into the 18 yd box, like bees to honey the Indians were swarming around. Feet were flying but no clearance was achieved for all the whacks at the ball. Result Rachel Paull struck in a score for Buckeye Valley. 2-1 Indians, the scrum would prove to be the Indians Achilles’ heel for the day.

The half time instructions were simple, get the next goal and kill off the Baron’s hope. Six minutes later the Indians did what was asked. Taylor Tackett now playing with a broken toe ripped up the right side making space for a cross to Rachel Monsour. A perfect ball was sent across the goal mouth straight to a hard charging Rachel who one touched the ball into the net for a 3-1 advantage.

As darkness of day began to arrive so did a dark turn of events for the Indians; with less than 10 minutes to go the Indians were working hard to sustain pressure. The back line of the Indians with Whitney McDonald, Emilie Lance, Brittney Carroll, Kacy Allen, Ama Winland and Katie Hahn turned back attack after attack. Just when all seemed fine another tropic depression began to form. Around and around both Indians and Barons flew kicking everything in sight. Out popped the ball right past Indian keeper Alex Cremeans for new life to the Barons, 3-2 stood the score. The storm clouds did not dissipate and again the teams swirled in front of the Indian’s net. Laura Baldwin pushed the ball to the side right to Becky Saas who rifled it in to the heart of the Indians. 3-3 as the Indians drank some very bitter water from the Buckeye Valley well.

Bright spots: The entire team fit for duty played in the match. Keepers Lauren Tolman and Alex Cremeans ended the match with 6 saves. Taylor Tackett and Rachel Monsour together scored 3 goals. Jordan Guiler and Kaleigh Delong stepped up playing a strong right and left out side mid, the two middle mids Ashley Walcott and Katie Hahn worked hard the entire match.

Canal Winchester’s record is 3-2-2. Next up is a home match with Circleville, Thursday September 11 at 7:15 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Brittney Carroll, Emilie Lance, Jordan Guiler, Heather Linn, Kacy Allen, Whitney McDonald, Taylor Tackett, Katie Hahn, Ashley Wolcott and Rachel Monsour.

Canal Winchester 2 Jonathan Alder 2
Pioneers and Indians mixing it up, a classic Saturday afternoon matinee straight from the early days of cinema. The Indians worked Friday on contesting the first touch and anticipating the next. The match was made harder with the injury to team captain Nikki Ternasky. Over top of that some changes in formation were made, Whit McDonald moved to sweeper with Emilie Lance sliding to an outside back. The club went with 4 mids, Ashley Wolcott and Katie Hahn now ran the offense from the center.

The first 20 minutes was give and take with each squad having opportunities to seize the lead. A couple of key substitutions moved Amber Wolcott in as an outside mid and Taylor Tackett forward to striker.

Ashley Wolcott began the first successful attack with a dash up the right side; her challenge drew the defense over to meet her. Ashley zipped a ball across to the far post and a hard charging Rachel Monsour. Rachel one touched her shot for a 1-zip lead.

The Pioneers shot back 6 minutes later. The Indians lost shape; a major pow-wow occurred gathering 5 or 6 Indians to the center of the goal mouth, only thing missing was the ball. That worthy object rested with Colleen Brady who shot it in leveling the score 1-1. The first 40 ended even.

The second stanza was a typical Canal Winchester Jon Alter match, tough and hard charging. The two teams have a great history of close hard fought matches and Sept 6 was no different. The Indians created abundant chances to garb the lead but all were turned away by Pioneer keeper Kaity Shultz.

The match seemed headed for a draw when Alter struck with less then 3 minutes to go. A throw in for Alter should have alerted the tribe that something was a foot. A Pioneer player switched sides just to throw in the ball, and for good reason. She chucked it all the way to the far post and an unmarked Colleen Brady who knocked it in with a hard header. Much whooping was heard from the Alter side of the pitch.

The crafty Indians were not done, Whit McDonald was pushed forward into the attack and 50 seconds later the desperate move paid off. Earning a corner kick the Indians surrounded the goal. The clamor was loud and feverish from all parties. The corner was played to the near post, Whitney had tied the score.

The last 2 minutes was all Indians but the final gun sounded and the result was a tie.

Other bright spots: Lauren Tolman’s play was outstanding she kept the Indians in the match with 6 difficult saves. The two new center mids Ashley Wolcott and Katie Hahn worked the middle hard zipping left and right front to back. The 3 marking backs Emilie Lance, Brittney Carroll and Ama Winland controlled Alter’s strikers for the day. Kacy Allen was steady as the stopper.

Canal Winchester’s record is 3-2-1. Next up is an away match with Buckeye Valley (1-2-1), Tuesday September 9 at 5 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Brittney Carroll, Emilie Lance, Kacy Allen, Whitney McDonald, Taylor Tackett, Katie Hahn, Ashley Wolcott, Kaleigh Delong, Jordan Guiler and Rachel Monsour

Canal Winchester 3 Groveport 2

Seeking a return to their winning ways the Indians raided Groveport in search of a victory.

The run of play was in the Indian’s favor when trouble reared its ugly head. Twice the Indians seemed ready to score but each opportunity ended in failure. A quick counter attack gave the Cruisers a cross into the 6 yard line; the defense pushed it way but only back to the top of the 18. Layla Frommeyer waited and stuck a ball to the near post, at first it looked wide but instead rolled into the net and the Cruisers owned a 1-0 lead. The lead inspired the Cruisers and gave a gut check to the Indians.

The question was called and the Indians answered. Taylor Tackett purloined a ball on the right flank zipping into the attack. Taylors shot was knocked back to where Nikki Ternasky was headed. A quick shot even the score. The Indians pressed their attack and 12 minutes later the Indians earned a free kick from the left side. Rachel Monsour was fouled and knocked down. Whitney McDonald sent the ball into Nikki Ternasky’s path. Nikki did the rest drilling the ball into the net.

In the middle of the stanza the Indians switched on the fly from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 with Ashley Walcott taking over as the second central mid. The move slowed up the Cruiser forays into the Indian final third with out giving away any Indian offence. Amber Walcott and Kaleigh Delong also switched in to adjust the match ups with the Cruisers’ two strikers.

Ten minutes into the second period the Indian defense cleared a ball wide. The ball bounced away from Katie Hahn into the path of a Cruiser defender. Michelle Brumm pounced on the lose ball and one touched a big arching shot that spoiled the Indians mood, the match stood at 2-2.

The heat was building and the Indians were carrying all the wood. The attacking 6 were blistering the Cruiser defense with solid attacks. Ashley Walcott pressed the attacked and drew in the cruiser defense; Ashley pushed a well weight ball into space for Nikki Ternasky. Quickly it became 1v1 with the keeper. Nikki drove in making the keeper commit, instead of shooting Nikki cut left and left Audrianna DeVolt flopping in the tall grass. Nikki calmly slotted home the game winner.

Lauren Tolman ended the match with 4 saves.

Canal Winchester’s record is 3-1-0. Next up is an away match with 2-0 Fairfield Union, Thursday September 4 at 7:15 PM.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Brittney Carroll, Emilie Lance, Ama Winland, Kacy Allen, Whitney McDonald, Taylor Tackett, Katie Hahn, Nikki Ternasky, Heather Linn and Rachel Monsour

Canal Winchester 2 Teays Valley 7

The night was dark the sky was blue up from the south Teays Valley blew and sadly whipped the Indians soundly.

Teays pumped in 7 goals, the first coming in the 3rd minute. Brittany Scott raced up the right side and crossed a big booming shot in that did not bode well for the rest of the evening. The Indians fought back and earned a penalty kick after the Vikings knocked Ashley Walcott down in the box. Whitney McDonald scored from the spot and it seemed as if not all was lost.

It went down hill from there. Given too much space by the Indians, the Vikings ruled the evening. Whitney Mc Donald scored again in the 1st but it was not enough.

Canal Winchester’s record is 2-1-0. Next up is Groveport, Thursday August 28 at 7:15 PM in Groveport.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Brittney Carroll, Emilie Lance, Ama Winland, Kacy Allen, Whitney McDonald, Taylor Tackett, Katie Hahn, Nikki Ternasky, Ashley Walcott and Rachel Monsour

Canal Winchester 3 Westland 1
The Indians gathered early to plan their assault on the Cougar goal. The schemes were in place with the arrival of the lemon limo.

A hot dry night welcomed the fevered Indians. Hungry for another win, the CWHS crowd did not have long to wait. In the 4th minute Alley Duckworth swiped the sphere from a Cougar back and thundered in to goal. Ally froze the keeper on a hot night and the cooled her with a breezy shot into the net. One zip Indians.

The Cougars pushed hard to level the score but here and there the Indians backs: Brittney Carroll, Ama Winland, Kacy Allen and Emilie Lance and keeper Lauren Tolman, Amber Walcott upset their plans.

Alley Duckworth scored the game winner in the 13th minute. A well weighted shot was ripped towards goal but Cougar keeper Kaylee “the Bus” Thompson paired it away. Alley jumped on the rebound and rifled it back. The Indians were up 2-0 and would need no more. One sour note early in the half a bum calf forced Jordan Guiler to the bench.

Multiple Indian charges and attacks went for naught. Time and time again skillful work put Indians at the door step but each was rebuffed. Late in the first forty the Cougars cut the Indian advantage in half. Earning a corner kick the Cougars sent in an in swinger. Whitney McDonald headed the first attempt clear but not far enough. Erika Teliuc pounced on the ball and tucked in a low roller through multiple legs for a tally. The goal was the first given up this season by the Indians; keeper Lauren Tolman faced five shots in the first period.

The Indians adjusted their scheme in the second half rotating from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2. The emphasis was to continue the attack but to plug up the midfield against the Cougar pressure. Westland had to chase the game and an extra mid would make it even harder for them to do that. The attacking 6 was rotated freely. Whitney McDonald, Taylor Tackett, Katie Hahn, Nikki Ternasky, Rachel Monsour, Ashley Walcott, Shukri Farah and Kyrstin Warnimont time and time again sallied into the Westland final third.

Seven minutes into the second period the Indians were rewarded. Katie Hahn chucked a nice ball into the path of a cutting Whitney McDonald. Whit zipped past a futile effort by Westland defenders to send The Bus to the junk yard. 3-1 Indians.

Keeper Lauren Tolman registered 6 saves, a couple spectacularly made. Canal Winchester’s record is 2-0-0. Next up is Teays Valley, Tuesday August 26 at 7:15 PM, CWHS stadium. Only $5, you will get your money’s worth in the first 5 minutes and the rest will be free.

Starting Lineup: Lauren Tolman, Brittney Carroll, Emilie Lance, Ama Winland, Kacy Allen, Whitney McDonald, Taylor Tackett, Katie Hahn, Nikki Ternasky, Alley Duckworth, Jordan Guiler

The crowd had much to celebrate. Nikki Ternasky scored the game winner in the 1st minute. On the opening kick off the ball was dropped back to Whitney McDonald for a quick pass to Jordan Guiler. Jordan sent it through a gap into the path of Nikki’s run. Nikki cut out and then in putting herself 1v1 with the keeper. The shot whipped into the net and the win was secured. The Lancers tried to answer and did create some pressure but no result. The back four of Brittney Carroll, Ama Winland, Kacy Allen and Emilie Lance were equal to the task. Eight minutes later Alley Duckworth raced through the Lancer defense jumped on Nikki Ternasky’s cross and tucked the ball into the bag for a 2 zip lead. Indians were flying up and down left and right, winning 50 50’s and denying the Lancer’s much opportunity. Whitney McDonald closed out the half’s scoring giving the Indians a 3-0 lead. Whitney purloined the ball from a would-be attacker and cut across the middle. Whitney’s shot arched in over the flopping Lancer keep. A happy gang of Indians headed for the bench with a solid 3 goal lead. Keeper Lauren Tolman faced one shot on goal behind a stout defense.

The second stanza saw the entire Indian squad get in on to victory. Alley Duckworth capped off the scoring. Taylor Tackett ripped a ball up the line to Alley on the right flank. Alley slalomed in against two defenders and was not denied. Zip into the net and the final 4-0 lead.

Canal Winchester 3 Amanda Clearcreek 4
The Indians went back to their winning team and again started keeper Jordan Osborn; Kim Uetrecht, Leah Baughman, Ta’Hana Olbrantz and Brittany Spicer on defense. Kelsey Ryan, Whitney McDonald, Rachel Baker and Taylor Tackett played midfield with Nicole Langston and Nikki Ternasky up front. The beginning of the match looked promising for the Indians. The dream of an undisputed Mid State League championship soon dissipated. The Indians demise had two causes, a good Amanda team and mental mistakes by the Indians. Twice in the first half mistakes set the table for the Amanda, Morgan Baldwin had an easy tap in for a 1-0 lead and Aimee Hall pushed a lose ball in for number 2. The situation was tough for the Indians but they had come back before. Importantly just before the first half time expired Rachel Baker sent an early cross into Nicole Langston who scored to bring the game back in reach. The woes continued into the second stanza. Aimee Hall worked herself past three defenders to put Amanda up 3-1. Bleak as it was Whitney McDonald brighten the out look for the Indians with a nifty shot from 30 yards out on the left side. Amanda keeper Megan Meyer had no chance for a save, 3-2 Amanda. The glow of opportunity was short lived; again Aimee Hall punished the Indians for a 4-2 lead. Nicole Langston and Taylor Tackett’s combination play put Nicole back in the box with the ball. Nicole scored her 21 goal to close the gap to 4-3. The Indians were flying all over the field but time was on Amanda’s side and it ran out on Canal. The Amanda had 9 shot on goal with Jordan Osborn stopping five. Canal Winchester’s record went to 11 -2- 3.

Canal Winchester 3 Fisher Catholic 1
Fisher Catholic in years past had a hex on the Indians. Try as the Indians might the girls from Fisher would prevail. It was senior night for the Indians and they were planning on celebrating. The starting line up was keeper Jordan Osborn; Kim Uetrecht, Leah Baughman, Ta’Hana Olbrantz and Brittany Spicer on defense. The attackers were lead by Kelsey Ryan and Nicole Langston. Whitney McDonald, Rachel Baker and Taylor Tackett played midfield with Nikki Ternasky up front. The Indians started out strong putting heavy pressure on the Fisher goal. The pressure was so strong that Nikki Ternasky was grabbed and impeded as she rumbled into the box. The official spotted the infraction and awarded the Indians a penalty kick. Up stepped Kelsey Ryan and zing the ball went past the Irish’s Erin Competti for a one zip lead. Just a couple minutes later the Indian’s defense knocked down an Irish attacker at the top of the 18. Fisher’s Katie Griffin took the direct kick. Right at the wall it went, alas the Indian’s defensive line had a hole. The ball came thru low and just trickled past Jordan Osborn to knot the score. Late in same half Nikki Ternasky and Taylor Tackett pushed the ball hard up the left side. The last touch by Taylor sent Nikki free into the box. Nikki curled it in from the left leaving the Irish keeper no chance but to watch it go; 2 – 1 Indians and the game winner. The Indians were told to expect heavy pressure from the Irish. The best way to keep the Irish off the score board was to put pressure on their goal. The Indians kept up a constant barrage of shots and attacks. Late in the match a spirited and quick attacked paid off. Ta’Hana Olbrantz stepped up and stole an errant pass. Ta’Hana slipped the ball up to Alley Duckworth who cut her way into the box for an easy touch on goal. The Irish could not respond and went down 3-1 for the Indians 11th win of the season. A great senior night was had by all. The Irish did earn 7 shots on goal with Jordan Osborn stopping all but one. Canal Winchester’s record went to 11 -1- 3.

The starting line up was Jordan Osborn between the pipes, with Kim Uetrecht, Leah Baughman, Ta’Hana Olbrantz and Brittany Spicer on defense. The attackers included Kelsey Ryan, Whitney McDonald, Rachel Baker and Taylor Tackett playing midfield with Nikki Ternasky and Nicole Langston up front. Bloom started strong and played the first 10 minutes on Canal Winchester’s side of the pitch. It took a while for the Indians to solve the Bulldog attack, but solve it they did. Gradually the push was towards the Bloom keeper. A couple of early chances went for naught until Nikki Ternasky smoked two defenders getting up the left side to the end line. Nikki cut up the end line towards goal freezing the defense and zipping a low ball across the front of the net finding Taylor Tackett on the far post. Bang in the net, Taylor perfectly one touched the ball for the game winner. Plenty of soccer was left but the match had been decided. Just two minutes later Nikki Ternasky pushed the ball hard up the left side before laying a ball back to Kelsey Ryan. Kelsey curled in from the left and saw a wide lane open to the far post. She blasted in an arching ball the left Amanda Hildebrand the Bloom Carroll keeper no chance but to wave it by; 2 - zip Indians. The Indians expected a fired up Bulldog eleven for the second half. It was tough luck for the Bulldogs; the Indians had all the answers. Time and Bloom’s chances to win slipped away with no threat. Alley Duckworth’s touch on the ball maintained possession for the Indians and Bloom Carroll chasing the game. Late in the match the final attack paid dividends. Holding the ball in the middle of a swarm of Bulldogs, Ally slipped an easy pass to Nicole Langston for the final tally. Nicole had scored her 19 goal of the year and the Indians were whooping it up. Bloom Carroll did earn 4 shots on goal but Jordan Osborn kept a clean sheet. Canal Winchester’s record went to 10-1-3.

The Pioneers jumped on the board first. In a rare break down the Indians let Kendra Dalton reach a bouncing ball first, Kendra made the Indians pay; 1 zip to the Pioneers. Action was hot but no result. The Indians pulled a marking back with 10 minutes to go and added a striker going to a 3-4-3. The move paid off with a goal from Whitney McDonald in the 75 minute.

Whitney McDonald stole an errant ball from a Brave back and zipped in on the keeper. The match up was favorable for the Indians as Whitney basted in the first goal; 1-0 Indians. In the second period many opportunities went for naught until Alley Duckworth pulled a compact defense apart enough to slip in a nice through ball for Nicole Langston to push past the keeper for the game winner. Late in the match Alex McGuire made the Indians pay for giving excessive space with a long arching shot the slipped in just under the cross bar. The Indians won but were not a happy group.

More trouble was on the horizon. Late in the first half a long through ball was fielded by Jordan Osborn who gave it a thunderous kick, luck sent it off an Indian defender on to Chaska Yoder’s feet for a two goal lead. The bench was a hot spot at half. The Indians came out fired up and ready for a brawl. Nicole Langston rushed the ball up field and spied Whitney at the 18, a quick ball gave Whitney a chance to work some magic with her feet. Cutting through the Pioneer defense for an easy touch into the net Whitney drew the Indians back to with in one. Heavy pressure was presenting opportunities to the Indians and one more paid off. Nikki Ternasky was smoking the right side of the Pioneer defense with lighting runs at the defense. With 6 minutes to go Nikki pushed in hard and crossed the ball to Whitney’s head for a game tying score. The cheering had hardly stopped when Nikki was on the receiving end of a pass by Taylor Tackett. Nikki flew in on the keeper and whipped in the Indians third score and a one goal lead.
