The Cats win 2-0 vs the Moberly Spartans in the Missouri State Quarter-final matchup. The Spartans came to town with a vocal and plentiful fan club. Filling the seats with cheering fans helped pump up the Spartans to a dominating first half performance; outshooting the Cats in what had to be a 2:1 ratio. The defense came up big as usual and Sara Clarke had a beautiful goal line save that kept the score knotted at zero.
The Wildcats struggled to hang on for the first half but something happened during the halftime break because they brought out what seemed to be a completely different team the second half. The first Harrisonville goal didn't take long, setting the Moberly team on their heels and shut down the cheering Spartan fans. Uh OH....Harrisonville found their offense. The Cats kept the pedal down to the final whistle. Alex Erickson and Anna Holden provided the scoring action while Sara Clarke and her impermiable defensive unit posted their 19th shutout of the season.
#2 ranked Notre Dame de Sion won their Quarter-final game 2-1 over Smithville and will face Harrisonville, the only remaining public school, in a Semi-final matchup at 2:00 PM on Friday at Anheuser Busch Center, Field #5 in Fenton, MO with the winner going to the State Championship Game and the loser going to the consolation game to play for third place on Saturday.
The other teams in the final four are #1 ranked Visitation Academy and #6 ranked Notre Dame St. Louis.
Road trip! Let's go CATS!
