Michigan City High School Girls Soccer

Our players rocking out the academics again, as usual! Congrats to this year's Academic All-State players Gerzey HIbner, To'Ney Jones, Ashley McKinney, Erin Piazzisi, Krystani Quinn, Stephanie Ramirez, Madelyn Shinn, and Ava Taylor.

We had so much fun tonight at our players vs. parents soccer game! We'll have to do this again next year!

We ended our season this year with a loss to Penn in sectionals tonight. I can't begin to explain how proud I am of our girls this year. A high school soccer season feels like a whole year of ups and downs and positives and negatives experienced in a period of two and a half months. We ended the game with all our seniors on the field together, and the closeness of this crew was obvious in the post-game reactions. I gauge the success of our team in terms of relationships made, lessons learned, and goals accomplished. This year was a huge success.

Here's some info about Saturday's games from the Elkhart AD:

Admission prices: we have increased our regular season ticket prices to $6.

The games start early: the JV game starts at 9:00 a.m. central time, with the varsity game to follow.

Girls Location: The girls home field is at the Freshmen Division, which is the old Elkhart Central campus. The soccer complex is located just off the intersection of Waterfall Dr./Richmond St. and Blazer Blvd. If you approach the school from Goshen Ave, drive past the high school on Blazer Blvd. and you will turn right just before you reach the intersection at Waterfall Dr./Richmond St.

The girls soccer sectional draw took place yesterday. We have been drawn against Penn High School. We will play in Game 2 on Tuesday, October 3 at about 7:00 p.m. eastern 6:00 central). Game 1 will start at 5:00 eastern 4:00 central). After Game 1 finishes, teams will be given 20 minutes to warm up.

So to be clear, the games are at 4 and 6 central time, with our game starting at about 6.

Sectionals this year are taking place at Penn High School, 56100 Bittersweet Rd, Mishawaka.

Michigan City Girls Varsity Soccer beat New Prairie 2 – 1 on Saturday.

The Wolves were down 1 – 0 at halftime, but staged a comeback with two goals in the second half to secure the win.

Both City goals were scored by Gillian Allender; and the defense — led by Ava Taylor, To’Ney Jones, Valerie Oakes, and Gerzey Hibner — played especially well. Erin Piazzisi and Madelyn Shinn drove the team forward from midfield.

This was City's fourth straight win.

Michigan City will face rival LaPorte on Tuesday night on Senior Night. Please come and support the girls!

The Lady Wolves soccer team beat hometown rival Marquette yesterday 5 -1 at the MAC. Gilly Allender scored all 5 goals, and Madelyn Shinn and Gabby Patino recorded assists. Senior goalkeeper Madison Tilden made a big penalty save to keep Marquette scoreless at 0 - 0. City next play New Prairie tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. at home, and LaPorte on Tuesday night. The LaPorte game is Senior Night. We hope to see many of you there!

We have a give-back fundraiser at Carlson's Drive-In tomorrow, September 18! You can give them a paper token, or show them a digital copy, which I'm attaching below. It's hard to beat eating at Carlson's and supporting Lady Wolves soccer at the same time!

Here's the link for tickets to tonight's JV and varsity games against Portage. Portage has told us they will only be able to play half a JV game, so the varsity game will start earlier than usual - probably about 6:15 or 6:20.

Edit: just to confirm, the JV game will start at 5:00 as usual, with a teacher appreciation event at 6:00, followed by the varsity game immediately after. Varsity to start at 6:15 or 6:20.
