Lady Devils fight with Dragons to End in Tie, Celebrate Seniors

The Lady Devils celebrated their three Seniors on Saturday, 9/27 with a game against the Lady Dragons of Silver Creek. During half time, our Boosters recognized Brittany Searcy, Heather Duvall and Becky Cissell by presenting them with a blanket to commemorate thier time with the Lady Devils Soccer team. The Lady Dragon Seniors were also presented with a small token to celebrate their accomplishments.


The final score was 3-3. During the first half, the Devils controlled the game and was able to find the net twice. Liz Hunton was able to find the net to put the Devils on the board first. Then Rebecca Kitchen drove up the middle, but was surrounded by defenders. She was able to get a short touch off to Bekah Burgan who came flying through the crowd in the box and get a touch on it to slide it just past the goalie. The first half ended 2-1, Devils.

During the first five minutes of the second half, the Dragons were able to get two quick goals past Jordan Rodeigher, taking the lead at 3-2. After much frustration and determination, Burgan was able to find the net again to tie it up. With about 30 seconds left the Devils were able to get off one more shot and missed the goal to the left by inches. . . Game Over 3-3.

Devils Never Give Up

A loss to the New Albany Bulldogs, 5-0, would normally get the Lady Red Devils down and out, but not last night! The girls accomplished two goals that not every team has been able to do . . . Keeping the score lower than what the Bulldogs have been used to (averaging about 10 a game) and keeping them scoreless in the second half.

The girls have much to be proud of. Knowing NA has been stomping most teams, our girls went out last night hungry to keep them at bay. The Lady Devils are showing improvement, especially with the mental game and they turned in on last night. Determined not to let the Bulldogs slaughter them, our Defense really stepped it up. Britney Lipps, Devin Conway and Rachelle Thomas all played well along with midfielder Shelby West. Our keeper, Jordan Rodeghier also had a great game and as a Freshman, is constantly improving and showing a lot of confidence in the goal.

Though no win was recorded for the Devils, standing up to the Bulldogs and showing them that the Devils will not back down was a great accomplishment for this team and shows that they are on the upside of becoming an eventual contender in the Hoosier Hills Conference! Watch out Southern Indiana . . . the Devils are on the loose!

BNL Game Ends in Protest

The score, 3-2, for now shows Bedford North-Lawrence winning, but because BNL had multiple players that played four halves today, Coach Dennis protested the game with the Officials and will seek to have BNL forfeit the game. IHSAA rules state that a player may only play a total of three halves during one session (like a JV/Varsity set of games).


The Lady Devils started out the game well and were able keep the Stars at bay and able to get on the board first after Junior, Britney Lipps scored on a Penalty Kick as a result of a BNL handball in the box at the 30:48 mark. The only goal through the whole first half.

Freshmen Shelby West and Bekah Burgan tried to sink the win with 22:24 remaining. West was able to get off a great cross, right into the middle of the box. Burgan was able break away and get a head on the ball which she directed to the back of the net! BNL was able to find a rebound and put it in the net at 17:31. And again from an indirect kick with 6:38 remaining.

At about the 6:00 mark, Senior, Brittany Searcy, going for a 50/50 ball with a BNL player who lost her balance and fell, was given a second yellow card by the Official, which meant she had to come off the field for the rest of the game, as two yellows become a red. Shortly after BNL made another quick goal to end the game 3-2.

Once the protest has gone through it's processes at IHSAA, we should come out with the W! And the girls deserve it!

Wind Damage Cancels Game Tonight

The Lady Devils Soccer games tonight against Corydon have been canceled due to both school systems being closed after the "Windstorm of 2008." As soon as it is rescheduled I will post the date.

Forest Park Proves Too Much for Lady Devils

Forest Park beat the Lady Devils, 3-0, with all three goals coming in the second half. The Devils worked hard to keep the Rangers at bay during the first half and succeeded to have the score at 0-0 at half time. But the Rangers came back onto the pitch with a vengeance just too much for our team.

Lady Devil's Still Struggling

Four games in a week and the Lady Devil's Soccer team is struggling to find another win. Coach says it is our longest, hardest stretch during the season. Let's hope so. Battered, bruised and worn out, with many injuries didn't help with last nights loss to Seymour. With just a few minutes left in the second half, Junior, Brittany Lipps was able to get off a long pass to Freshman, Bekah Burgan, waiting at the center line. Burgan brought the ball up the left sideline determined to get past Seymour's quick defense, taking a left footed shot from just inside the 18 finally finding the back of the net for the Devils, scoring Jeff's lone goal in the 6-1 loss.

We now have 11 days until the next match (September 13 vs. Forrest Park). This should give our girls time to rest and heal from the injuries endured over the last week. GO LADY DEVILS!
