V v Springfield Catholic (@ Rolla) (W 2-1)

The Lady Kewpies are now 3-0.

The girls came out ready to run and ready to fight from the starting whistle. That was great to see; necessary today. The first half was back and forth with physical battles all over the field. There was a total of three shots in the first half (two for Hickman, one for Catholic). Grace Grigg scored in the 20th minute off a free kick from the corner served by Edith Lopez. Catholic scored the equalizer on a chipped shot from about 18 yards in the 34th minute.

The second half was more of the same. The game ended with a total of seven shots on goal (four for Hickman, three for Catholic). Maggie Pace and Emily Darter had a great passing combination that led to a goal by Nicole Drenton. Monica Ross had several crucial saves in the second half that sealed the win for the Kewpies.

V v Timberland (W 1-0)

The Lady Kewpies are now 2-0 on the young season.

The game started out slowly as the girls were showing fatigue from the bus ride. Timberland was focusing their attack on the right side of the Kewpie defense. The only real Kewpie offense were break outs from their left side attack. It took 25-30 minutes to play Kewpie soccer. Nicole Drenton scored the only Hickman goal in the 35th minute on a flick header over the charging Timberland keeper from a beautiful free kick by Lauren Kaufman.

The second half saw Hickman control the game, but unable to finish as they had several scoring opportunities hit goal poasts and several corner kicks result in shots going just wide.

Monica Ross registered her first shut out of the year with seven saves (three saves at key moments of the game).

V v Pembroke Hill (W 4-2)

Click here to see the Columbia Daily Tribune article.

After starting slow in the first half and giving up an early goal in the 5th minute, the second 20 minutes showed what the Hickman Varsity was capable of in terms of passing and ball control. Unfortunately, the many scoring opportunities did not result in a goal. There were several wonderful saves from Monica Ross throughout the game, both in the first and second halves.

Once again, Hickman started slow and gave up a second goal early in the second half (48th minute). The second Pembroke Hill goal seemed to wake up the Hickman girls and they reacted for their own goal in the 51st minute by Edith Lopez's header from a throw in by Maggie Pace. The scoring continued as Edith Lopez converted a penalty earned by a foul on Nicole Drenton in the 55th minute. Edith completed her hat trick in the 76th minute as she finished a long free kick from Grace Grigg. Hickman completed the scoring when Jesse Loch finished another long ball from Grace Grigg.
