Senior Girls finish tied for first

The Senior Girls soccer team capped off their regular season Tuesday in Wingham with a win and a tie. The team came out flat against FE Madill and missed numerous scoring opportunities.  Cassidy O'Hearn put the Salukis ahead with a well placed penalty shot.  A second half goal by Madill surprised the Salukis and they could not put the game away.  It ended in a 1-1 tie. 

In their second game against Mitchell, the team made sure that a first place finish would be secured.  They controlled the game and again had many chances.  Lindsay Griffiths scored an early goal and Cassidy O'hearn added an extra goal in the second half.  Keeper Taylor Fawcett notched another shutout in a 2-0 win.

With a regular season record of 7 wins, 0 losses and 3 ties, the Salukis finished in a tie for first place.  An undefeated season is no small feat, and the team is congratulated for such a strong result.  They allowed only 4 goals in 10 games, an accomplishment for goalie Taylor Fawcett and the defenders supporting her.   The tie breaker went beyond the head-to-head matchup between St. Marys and St. Mikes, as that was also a tie.  It came down to goal differencial and St. Mikes came out on top. 

The Salukis will face South Huron in the semi-finals of Huron-Perth on Tuesday at St. Mikes.  They travel back to Stratford on Thursday for the WOSSAA 'AA' championships

Haynes header headlines heady day

DCVI’s junior girls soccer team completed the regular season yesterday in style, with wins over St.Anne’s and St. Mike’s to secure their place at the top of the standings. Against St.Anne’s the Salukis looked comfortable from the start and ran out easy 3-0 winners. Goals were scored by Emily Woodhouse, Shauna Simpson and Taegan Haynes with a notable header goal. Kristen Schmidt kept the clean sheet in goal. Against St. Mike’s, DCVI came alive in the second half and jumped out to a 3-0 lead. The Warriors got a goal back late on a penalty, but the Salukis held strong and won the game 3-1. Goal scorers were again Woodhouse, Simpson and Haynes. Several Salukis brought their best to the games as Megan Spence, Morgan Shamblaw and Shauna Simpson had their best showing of the season so far. The two wins ensure that DCVI finishes in 1st place and will host the Huron-Perth Championship here in St. Marys on Wednesday June 6th.
