The Girls Varsity Soccer team BELIEVES!!!   They BELIEVE  that if they work hard together, give it 110% for the full 90 minutes and have each-others backs, that good things will happen and Monday night, they did not disappoint.   The Eagles traveled to a packed Bulldog Stadium on Monday night, with a LIVE MSN Broadcast in the house to take on Romeo in the MAC RED Championship game, which proved to be a battle to the final buzzer. The game started out with Romeo putting the pressure on, challenging the back line, getting crosses off and making Senior Captain Amy Sidaway work to come up with several stops.  As the Eagles settled in, play became a bit more even with the Eisenhower putting on some pressure of their own, including a laser off the left foot of Junior captain Ava Dukaj which was pushed over the cross bar by the Romeo keeper and a shot on net in the waning minutes of the  half, by Senior Marisa Merski.  It appeared as though the ball was IN,  but at the last second, it hit the post and deflected away from the net.  The teams ended the half deadlocked in a scoreless tie, as Romeo honored their Seniors during a halftime celebration. The 2nd Half continued with a very physical battle, both teams having opportunities but not being able to capitalize and get the ball passed either keeper;  The Goalkeeping was stellar on both sides, with Sidaway securing the net for the Eagles and Romeos Keeper, Eva Hill making some amazing saves of her own.   In the end, your EAGLES were able to earn the MAC RED Title for the 2023 season, edging the Bulldogs out by 2 points, to sit atop the Conference. The Eisenhower back-line, continues to AMAZE and keep things in check with a STELLAR night from Juniors Katie VanDeWinkle and Hadley Farr as well as the Freshmen duo of Abby Beardsley and Sonjia Peterson.   It was a knock-down, drag out battle zone in the midfield, with Senior Captain Grace DeJong stepping up with some KEY defensive plays (as well as some creative offensive moves), Freshman Julia Aniel demonstrating her ability to endure a physical  game and Senior Captain Chloe O'Loughlin literally running the field in both directions, putting pressure on offensively and getting back to support on Defense. Dukaj continued to be a key part of the offense, pressuring Romeos back line, and creating opportunities.  The Eagles Believed and accomplished their collective season goal, securing the MAC RED Championship, with Sidaway being named the MSN Player of the game with a 10 save shut-out. The Eagles kick off game one of District play on Wednesday against a familiar rival, Stoney Creek -- traveling just across the county border, to take on the hosting Cougars.   Kickoff is at 7pm.   Please come out and support your Eagles!!!

The Ike Girls Varsity Soccer Team was able to maintain their 1st place spot in the MAC Red Division with a win over Dakota on a cold and breezy night at Swinehart Stadium in front of a rather large crowd!!   Dakota jumped to an early lead,  when a player broke free of their defender and was able slip the ball just passed the keeper.  But the scoring was not done for the night and the Freshmen duo of Julia Aniel and Ellera Jakubowski, made sure of it.  Headed into the 20th minute,  Aniel received a perfect corner kick from Senior Captain Chloe O'Loughlin, answering with a beautiful header to even the score 1-1.  Just two minutes later as the offense tried to work the ball forward,  Senior Captain Grace DeJong passed a ball which was deflected to Jakubowski who took a touch to her right side, around a defender and drilled it into the upper netting, putting Ike on top 2-1 and earning her 7th goal of the season.  The 2nd half had the Eagles on their heels a bit, finding it difficult to get the ball out of the backfield with the wind in their faces.  They managed to keep Dakota in check with strong play in the midfield by O'Loughlin, and Senior Elena Medina and the back-line led by Juniors Katie VanDeWinkle and Hadley Farr, and another 1st year Sonjia Peterson.  The offense had some great opportunities and strung together some great pass combos, led by DeJong,  Jakubowski, Senior Marisa Merski and Junior Ava Dukaj,  but the score remained 2-1, with Senior Captain Amy Sidaway getting the win, in net.  Up next the Eagles host the Romeo Bulldogs on Wednesday at Swine, in a rather big MAC Red matchup.   MHSSA will be broadcasting the game LIVE - so come on out and pack that stands!!!  JV kicks off at 4:00 with Varsity to follow at 5:30pm.  Let's go EAGLES!!!
