5-21 - Comstock 0 - Otsego 5
The
NEMS girls soccer team is finishing out its season facing some of the
toughest teams in their division. Last night's physical match against
Otsego was no exception. Despite several nice runs up field led by
mid-fielder Callie James, supported by backfielders Jessie Sivley and
Briana Salome, front line Megan James, Gabrielle Langejans, Jeme
Richards, and Lily DeFoster-Young were unable to translate the plays
into goals. Kaitlynne Burns, Tagan Siders, and Yoselin Cortez provided
significant help in moving the ball from the backfield to the frontline.
They were key in helping Aleeshia McClenton, Vien Hang, Panee Hang, and
Gina Montoya stave off the Otsego offense. Patricia Sively did a great
job in goal with several nice saves, particularly in the first half,
keeping Otsego to just one goal. During the 2nd half, the Otsego offense
was just too much for the Colts leading to the 5-0 loss.
5-16 - Comstock 0 - Mattawan Gold 8
5-14 - Comstock 0 - Battle Creek St. Phillip 0
In
a rainy match-up with Battle Creek-St. Joseph, the NEMS girls soccer
team dominated the game holding the other team to less than a handful of
shots on goal. Against a team that beat them 3-1 last time, last
night's score of 0-0 does not do justice to how the team played.
Patricia
Siveley made all the right moves as keeper, blocking one breakaway and
diving to block a 2nd dangerous shot later in the game. The backfield,
led by Briana Salome, stopped several runs on goal before the other team
even made it to the 18. Aleeshia McClenton, Vien Hang, Panee Hang,
Kaitlynne Burns and Yoselin Cortez were instrumental in keeping the ball
out of the backfield and in play for the Colts. They were able to
control the ball and send it back to midfielders Callie James and Jessie
Siveley.
At mid-field Callie and Jessie were often first to the
ball whenever it was in the air and up for grabs, and were able to
control it and deliver it to the forwards. Both were within reach of a
goal tonight.
Leading the attack in the front were Megan James
and Gabrielle Langejans who did an excellent job of keeping pressure on
the center and stopping Battle Creek-St. Joe efforts before it left
their half of the field. Jeme Richards and Lily Deforest-Young assisted
the attack from the wings, helping bring the ball up and center it for
several shots on goal.
The score may have been 0-0, but the Colts played like winners.
5-7 - Comstock 0 - Allegan Black 6
The
NEMS girls soccer team opened up strong n the second half, holding the
other team to just one goal in a well-defended first half including an
amazing save on a penalty kick by keeper Patricia Sively. Unfortunately,
there weren't able to keep the Allegan team at bay; it was a tough loss
for the team.
However, there was some amazing passing and
footwork at mid-field from Callie James, Jessie Sively, Elly Douglas,
and Cassie Bowman. They fed the ball perfectly a few times to forwards
Megan James, Gabrielle Langejans, Jeme Richards, and Lily DeForest-Young
who made nice up field runs and several efforts to the net.
The
back field, under intense pressure, was able to fend off several shots
and really did a great job clearing the ball and feeding to the
mid-field and beyond. Aleeshia McClenton led this effort taking several
free kicks for the team. Panee and Vien Hang, Kaitlynne Burns, Yoselin
Cortez, and Tagan Siders did a great job of marking players keeping the
ball out of the middle, even against quite a few corner kicks.
5-5 - Comstock 2 - Parchment 3
The
NEMS girls soccer team played their best game yet, in a very physical
match against Parchment. Despite clearly dominating the first half, and
many shots on goal, only 2 shots from outside the 18 by Callie James
landed in the net resulting in a 3-2 loss. The front line is finally
starting to gel with great work and effort from Gabrielle Langejans,
Megan James, Cassie Bowman and Jeme Richards. They received amazing
support at mid-field from Jessie Sively and Callie James who kept the
ball moving to the front line and made some crucial defensive plays in
the backfield. The backfield, led by Briana Salome, Aleeshia McClenton,
Vien and Panee Hang, and Kaitlynne Burns did an outstanding job of
stopping Parchment's talented front line.
4-28 - Comstock 2 - Lawton 4
The
NEMS girls soccer team played an amazing game last night. They
dominated the field from the first whistle and made many plays on the
net including two goals, one each from Jessie Sively and Callie James.
They were assisted in the middle by Megan James and, on the wings, by
Gabrielle Langejans, Jeme Richards, Cassie Bowman, and Lily
DeForest-Young. Patricia Sively did an amazing job in goal for the
Colts, stopping several shots on goal and just missing a block on a
pivotal penalty kick that gave Lawton their final goal in the 4-2 win
against Comstock. The backfield did a great job against a relentless
Lawton offense. Led by Briana Salome at midfield, Aleeshia McClenton at
stopper, and Panee Hang, Vien Hang, Tagan Siders, Elly Douglas,
Kaitlynne Burns, and Gina Montoya, also at fullback. This was the Colts
most impressive outing yet, and a win was well within their grasp.
4-23 - Comstock 0 - Kalamazoo Christian 3
The
NEMS girls soccer team played a great second half in a disappointing
loss to the Kalamazoo Comets. Despite the 3-0 score, the front line, led
by Megan James, Gabrielle Langejans, and Jeme Richards made multiple
runs at the goal including a great shot from out past the 18 by Callie
James. Lily Deforest-Young also helped out on the front line. Patricia
Sively led the backfield with her first game in goal making some crucial
saves for the team. Kaitlynne Burns, Aleeshia McClenton, Panee and Vien
Hang, and Tagan Siders provided significant support around the net.
Again, leadership from mid-field came from Callie James and Jessie
Sively. Helping out the defense at mid and backfield were Gina Montoya,
Yoselin Cortez, and Cassie Bowman.
4-21 - Comstock 0 - Battle Creek St. Joseph 5
Despite
missing several key players, the NEMS girls soccer team put up a great
fight, again dominating the second half of the game, but they were
unable to turn that into any goals. In a 5-0 loss against Battle
Creek-St. Joseph, Gabrielle Langejans, Jessie Sively, and Callie James
led on offense. In the backfield, Vien Hang, Aleeshia McClenton,
Kaitlynne Burns, and Gina Montoya made some key blocks assisting Tagan
Siders who debuted in goal.
4-18 - Comstock 0 - Delton-Kellogg 3
The
NEMS Girls Soccer team played Delton Kellogg on Friday and lost 3-0 in a
tough match up. Your Colts were amazing on defense headed by Callie
James who did an outstanding job in goal. She was assisted by Patricia
Sively, Aleeshia McClenton, Vien and Panee Hang, Tagan Siders, Kaitlynne
Burns, and Gina Montoya who helped keep the talented and strong Delton
team to such a low score. A valiant effort was lead from midfield by
Briana Salome, Cassie Bowman, Yoselin Cortez, and Elly Douglas who
helped on defense and made many attempts to move the ball up field. The
front line, led by Jessie Sively, was successful at moving the ball
towards the Delton goal, but fell short of scoring. With significant
help from wings Gabrielle Langejans, Jeme Richards, and Lilian Deforest,
Comstock was able to put some good pressure on the Delton defense in
the 2nd half.
4-14 - Comstock 1 - Kalamazoo Irish 3
The
NEMS girls soccer team played an amazing game in last night's near
freezing temps. Despite clearly dominating the 2nd half, they lost 3-1
to Kalamazoo Irish. They should be congratulated today for an incredible
first game! These Colts did you proud. The first half was tough, but
saved by a great performance in the net by Callie James, and excellent
support on defense from Aleeshia McClenton, Kaitlynne Burns, and Panee
and Vien Hang. The team's only goal was scored by Brianne Salome, who
controlled the midfield for a good part of the game with significant
help from Elly Douglas and Jessie Sivley. The front line, led by
Patricia Sivley, Gabrielle Langejans, Lily Deforest-Young, Cassie Bowman
and Jeme Richards had great runs on goal. Great effort in back and
mid-field also came from Gina Montoya, Yoselin Cortez, and Tagan Siders.
