Cats bow out of districts with tough loss

Despite a valiant effort, the Westminster Christian Academy Men’s Soccer Team ended their season yesterday afternoon with a tough…aggressive…and determined…but, unfortunately, unsuccessful effort against a physical MICDS Ram squad. While the final tally of 2-0 did not fully reflect the 80 minute battle, it is fair to say that the Cats did their best…tried their hardest but, in the end, were unable to overcome an early 1-0 deficit, despite having many chances of their own. In a game very similar to the Cat’s first round district loss against Kennedy last year, the team fell behind early and couldn’t muster the goals needed for the comeback. Although the Wildcats fell short, their effort and desire was never lacking, fighting tenaciously until the final whistle.

Cats overwhelm Lions in first district match

On a balmy Saturday afternoon, the third seed Wildcats faced the sixth seed University Lions for the first match of the 2008 District tournament. The match was settled after 32 seconds when Tim Miller blasted a shot in the goal after receiving a nifty cross pass from Jake Appelbaum from the left corner. The Cats went on to score nine more goals while holding the overwhelmed Lions scoreless. It was a total team effort as everyone on the roster played for half of the time and nine different players had a goal and/or an assist. Final score was 10-0 when the match was stopped after 65 minutes.

Bombers get clipped

After coming away with a victory against number 10th ranked Whitfield in the annual “Blue and Green” game, the Westminster Wildcats Boys soccer team continued their winning ways with a 3-0 smashing of the number 7th ranked Burroughs Bombers. Led by a solid defense and numerous offensive chances, the Cats shut-out the Bombers 3-0 and proved that they are ready for the upcoming district tournament. In the opening ten minutes of the game, the Cats came out somewhat slow including numerous giveaways resulting in dangerous scoring opportunities for the Bombers. Beginning in the 11th minute, the Cats seemed to settle into their normal passing style of offense. Juniors’ Jake Grimes, Connor Hunsicker and Matt Hudnut each challenged the Bomber goalie. At the 16:22 mark, the Wildcats earned their first corner of the match. After the perfect service from sophomore Jacob Appelbaum, the ball bounced around in the box and until Grimes deftly headed the ball to Hunsicker who found himself one-on-one with the goalie and cleanly slid the ball into the lower corner to give the Cats a 1-0 lead. The Bombers made numerous attempts to score in the last few minutes of the first half, but goalkeeper Tim Reed, as he did throughout the game, thwarted all shots. The Cats began the second half aggressively. Freshman Anthony Pritchett made an immediate impact when at the 43:40 mark, and after fighting off 3 Bomber backs, found a wide open Hunsicker who notched his second tally of the day again into the lower left corner of the Bomber net. Pritchett continued his outstanding play when at the 57:15 mark again redirected a slick pass from Hudnut to Hunsicker who garnered the hat-trick by finding the lower right corner of the Bomber net.
Although the Cats forwards were able to net three goals, the real display of ability and consistency was shown by the Cats’ midfield and defensive lines. The defense of Tim Miller, Matt Schwartz, Grimes, Michael Evetts, and Caleb Olson, held the barrage of Bombers in check throughout the game. Great foot skill and ability was shown in the midfield by Appelbaum, Hudnut, John Hunsicker, and Seth Lillenburg, Matt Baldwin, Jack Ross and Curtis Stump who each made beautiful passes and aggressive attacking runs that played an important role in the Cats’ win.
