The Wildcats took their show on the road to face a steamrolling Warrensburg team tonight. The Tigers were heavily favored as they hoped to add another notch in the win column to their six game winning streak. Having lost to the Tigers earlier in the season in a 2-3 knuckle biter, Harrisonville surprised the Tigers and played spoiler, handing them a 3-1 loss.
The Cats were first on the scoreboard early in the first half. Kayla Birchfield got the assist with a cross from the left sideline to a waiting Kelsie Sumner. Kelsie's full volley shot on goal found it's home in the right side netting.
Not to be outdone; the Tigers evened the score just after the beginning of the second half with a Hail Mary shot from near the center line.
The Tigers rarely had time to look up and even get sight of the goal when the ball was in their attacking third due to Sara Clarke and her defensive unit. Tina Harold, Shalyn Wheeler, Cati Brill and Brianna Loveall had a wonderful game shutting down the potent Tiger offense. Great game ladies!
Kayla Birchfield was not done for the evening as she scored a go-ahead goal around the 50th minute.
Kelsie Sumner put the game away with two minutes left in the game. AJ Erickson split the defenders with a perfectly weighted pass to a streaking Sumner who's crushing right footed blast punched the ball under the diving keeper.
The JV Wildcats won their game in a 1-0 shut-out, Holly Harris' fourth on the season. The girls were able to string together some good passes and had a few opportunities to score. The winning goal came as a shot on goal was deflected off the hand of a Tiger defender just outside the penalty box. Jaclyn Sumner bent the free kick over the wall, the well driven ball just grazing the tallest player's head before it stretched the onion sack in the top right side of the goal. Go Cats!!
