Lady Devil's Blank North Harrison 5-0 in First Game of the Season!

Even though there was some confusion when the Lady Devil's arrived at North Harrison, having to play at 6 instead of 7:30, the Varsity showed up ready to play! The first half was a slow one. The girls on the field looked good. We controlled the ball for the majority of the half. There were lots of shots, we just couldn't find the net.

During the second half, we showed up on the pitch even more ready to play! The first goal was scored by #18, Junior, Rebecca Kitchen from a great shot just inside the box. Then in a scruff inside the box, just in front of the goal, #8 Susan DiTeresa (Sophmore) got her foot on a rebound. Later, #13, Defender, Rochelle Thomas (Sophmore) got a great shot off from just about the center line, and up and over the goalies head, it found the back of the net! WOW! Also during the game, #3 Shelby West and #6 Bekah Burgan, both Freshmen, were able to place one of their many shots into the net to end the game at 5 to 0.

Both goalies, Becky & Jordan, played very well. Our defense showed great determination in getting the ball to the Devil's end of the field and the offense did well trying to keep the ball there! Great job girls!

Communication was lost somewhere and when the Lady Devil's JV squad arrived they found that North Harrison did not have a JV team. Thanks to Bill Gordon and the two little brothers volunteering to referee, the JV squad did get to play two 20 minute halves as a scrimmage. Unfortunately the scorers were not kept track of, but the Devil's won 3-0. Way to go girls!

We're in Columbus, Indiana Saturday for the District 5 tournament. The girls leave out Friday after school to enjoy a little shopping at the outlet malls. The Varsity plays at 11:15 and 4:00 and JV plays at 1:00. Hope we'll see you there!
