Goal - Sedona Bisek ?Assist - Megan Dietrich 36:26 in first half.

Champe dominated the first half, and that was more than enough to secure the win. Goal - Madeleine Hayes, unassisted.

The girls played a fantastic game, but a late Brentsville goal with less than 3 minutes remaining in the second overtime proved to be the game winner.  The Tigers scored on a free kick as time expired to secure the 2-0 win.

The girls faced a Liberty team that was suffering from injuries and was playing their third game in four days, while the team was finally rested after playing 6 games in 11 days the preceding two weeks.  As expected, the Liberty girls played a spirited and completive match under very difficult circumstances and the score was 0-0 at halftime.   The Falcons finally broke though just over 15 minutes into the second half when Madeleine Hayes received the ball on the left flank and drove into the center of the field. She found Sedona Bisek on just inside the 18 yard box, and Sedona placed the shot into the left hand corner of the net to give the team a 1-0 lead.  The second goal came when midfielder Rebekah Sullivan, returning to action after two weeks out with a concussion, threw the ball into Sedona with just under 13 minutes remaining.  Sedona was able to turn and get off a shot the resulted in a the final goal when the Eagles goalkeeper couldn't pick up the flight of the ball because of players running across her path.   The Eagle put in a very competitive performance under very difficult circumstances, a huge credit to their coaching staff and their players.  

Goals: Megan Dietrich took a free kick, which Sedona Bisek won and finished from 12 yards out to record the opening goal. Megan played a through ball to Sedona, who took the shot early and scored on a nice strike from about 25 yards out. Claire Beaulieu played a through ball to Sedona who dribbled in and then slotted the ball into the right hand corner to record a hat trick in the opening 24 minutes. Sedona passed the ball out wide to right to midfielder Olivia Chirasello, who took the ball and got past the defender.  Olivia drove in along the goal line then cut the ball just outside the 6 yard box where on rushing left midfielder Madeleine Hayes buried the shot into the right hand corner of the goal. Megan took a corner kick that was won by center back Kailey Vance, who sent a towering header over the Cougars goalkeeper. Sedona collected a ball inside the 18 yard box and set the ball for Megan.  Megan took a shot with her left foot from 15 yards out and squeezed the shot just inside the near post. Sedona collected a ball about 30 yards from goal, spotted the keeper just off her line, and hit a great strike that went just under the cross bar. Megan played a corner kick to the edge of the 6 yard box.  The ball feel into the path of Sedona and she hit a clean strike beating the keeper at the near post. Kailey made a marauding run into the attacking half.  She passed the ball forward to Sedona, who held the ball and then passed it back to Kailey.  Kailey hit a great strike from 18 yards out that tucked inside the far post for the final goal. Credit is due to the Manassas Park coaching staff and to their players.  They stayed positive and showed a competitive spirit through out the match under very difficult circumstances.  They displayed great character and were terrific representatives of their school, they are truly a class group.

The girls were pressed early and hard by a fast, athletic and high tempo Freedom squad.  The Eagles scored on their first attempt of the match with just 6:31 played in the first half when midfielder Sydney Kim collected a ball about 12 yards from goal just inside the right post and placed a precision finish into the left corner to beat goalkeeper Kaylee Lamper and the Falcons back line. The Eagles continued to apply pressure throughout the remainder of the match, but the back line of CatiAdele Slater, Kailey Vance, Claire Beaulieu, Tarah Markell, Cate Boulter, Victoria Kroencke and goalkeeper Lamper were able to thwart the remaining Freedom attacking moves. Kaylee finished the evening with 11 saves. 

The girls were able to pick up a win in the first of three away game this week against a fast and athletic Culpeper County High School team.  In an evenly played first half, the Falcons scored the breakthrough goal 16 minutes into the first half when Sedona Bisek collected the ball at midfield and made a strong run down the left hand side.  She cut inside and finished with a nice shot into the right hand corner of the net from 10 yards out.  Forward Natalie Burns gave the Falcons a 2 goal cushion with just over 14 minutes remaining. Sedona played a ball to Natalie from midfield.  Natalie was able to get to the ball just ahead of the Culpeper goalkeeper and a defender, touched the ball to the right around both players, and was able to win the race to tap the ball into the back of the net.   A combination back line of Tarah Markell, Claire Beaulieu, Kailey Vance, CatiAdele Slater, Kristina Davis, Cate Boulter and Victoria Kroencke did an outstanding job defensively while goalkeeper Kaylee Lamper had another solid performance in goal.  Midfielders Madeleine Hayes, Megan Dietrich, Erin Jones, Caroline Diehl, Olivia Chirasello and Emily Williamson also had a strong performance in both the defending and attacking phases of the game.  Forward Cameron Vincenzo also did a great job of pressuring the Culpeper back line in a first half shift.   

In a very evenly matched contest both teams were able to create some decent scoring chances, but after 80 minutes plus overtime neither team was able to convert one of those chances for a decisive goal.   Goalkeeper Kaylee Lamper had 11 saves for the Falcons.

In a game in which both teams had some great scoring chances, both teams settled for a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes of competitive soccer. It was a game that was ultimately decided by great goalkeeping and great defending that somehow managed to keep some strong attackers from finding the back of the net.  Kettle Run goalkeeper Nathalie Grier made a fantastic kick save to deny forward Sedona Bisek a goal on a break away opportunity.  On the other end, forward Kettle Run forward Emily Yergin attacked a corner kick with a header that was clearly going into the goal, but was headed off the line by center back Claire Beaulieu just before crossing the line.  There were other near misses by both teams, with Kettle Run applying more of the attacking pressure in the second half,  but neither team could find the elusive game winning goal. 

The girls showed tremendous resolve and determination, but ultimately lost 2-1 when Brentsville scored two late second half goals.  With 6 players unavailable for the game, the Falcons faced a difficult challenge with only 14 players available to face a strong, fast, and attack oriented Tigers squad.  That number was down to 13 less than 10 minutes into the first half, and down to 12 by the last 5 minutes of the first half.  Despite a thin roster, the girls managed to score the first goal with one minute remaining in the first half.  Megan Dietrich passed the ball out to Madeleine Hayes on the left side, and Madeleine was fouled just outside the 18 yard box. Megan took the free kick, which ricocheted of the cross bar and fell into the path of onrushing Sedona Bisek, who cleanly struck the ball into the back of the net. With only one substitute available for the second half, the Falcons were under constant pressure from the Tigers who were pressing to equalize.  The girls played strong, resolute defense and were aided by some terrific saves from goalkeeper Kaylee Lamper.  The game remained 1-0 until 11:53 left to play in the second half.  The Tigers finally broke through on a corner kick that was driven low and hard and a Tigers player managed to squeeze the ball just past Kaylee at the near post.  The game winning goal came in the final minute on another corner kick that was initially defended but the ball was won by a Brentsville player who buried the shot from about 12 yards out.   The first half back four of Kristina Davis, Olivia Chirasello, Kailey Vance and Rebekah Sullivan played superbly defensively.  With Rebekah injured late in the first half, Erin Jones moved into the back line and that unit had a terrific second half as well.  In the end the pressure from Brentsville was too much, but the girls were very competitive under difficult circumstances.      

The girls opened the season with a 4-2 win against visiting Liberty.  The game was tied 0-0 at halftime. The Falcons enjoyed an early advantage in possession and shots on goal, but the Eagles carved out a couple of great scoring opportunities in the waning minutes of the half.  That turned out to be a foreshadowing of how the second half would begin.  Just under 5 minutes into the half, the Eagles played a ball over the top to forward Hannah Panagos.  Hannah won the ball, shrugged of defenders and beat goalkeeper Kaylee Lamper with a deft finish to the right side.  The girls responded well, scoring less than two minutes later when midfielder Erin Jones played a ball through to forward Sedona Bisek, who won the ball just before Liberty goalkeeper Taylor Dodson could get there, and tapped the ball in to tie the game at 1-1.  Sedona put the Falcons ahead midway through the half when she collected a ball in the middle of the field and fired a shot from 22 yards out that went just over the outstretched hands of Taylor.  Just over a minute later, with 18:23 left to play in the half, Erin picked up the ball in the center of the field, dribbled to just inside the 18 yard box, and hit a nice bending shot into the right hand corner of the goal.  The Eagles bounced right back, scoring with 17:16 remaining in the half when Hannah received a ball from the left side of the field, drove to her right, and hit a brilliant strike from about 25 yards that Kaylee had no chance of stopping.  The next minutes were tense until Erin passed the ball out to Madeleine Hayes on the left side.  Madeleine took the ball to her right into the 18-yard box, then curled a beautiful shot into the right hand side of the net for the game's final goal.
