Dublin –

4-0 win

Another great outing by a very young Cavalier Squad!!! Another 🎩 trick and another shutout by the Cavaliers!!! It took about 15 mins to get the first one on the board and that was a great clear by Breanna Shumate to senior captain Ashlyn Newman and that is all the Cavaliers would need because the team posted another shutout. Of course the Cavaliers added to this total mins later when Newman received a pass from Callie Harris for her 2nd goal of the night. The 3rd goal came minutes from halftime when Ahliyah Riffey received a rebound off the Pulaski keeper and put it in the back of the net for a Cavalier 3-0 lead at the half!!!
Pulaski made some adjustments at halftime and the young Cavaliers looked very tired but they did not stop and kept the Cougars off the board and added one more goal for the night when Alexis Sheffey punted the ball to Newman and she beat a defender and put it in the back of the net for her 2nd hat trick of the season!!!! Game balls tonight go to Ahliyah Riffey for her 1st career goal and to Laurel Sutphin for her shut down ability on the defensive side of the ball.
Cavaliers return to action next week away at Glenvar on April 2nd!! Will return home on April 4th!!! This will be two great test for this young team but Coach Tickle said after the game we can play with anyone. They continue to grow and it is so much fun to watch!!!

Both teams post another dominant win vs pulaski tonight! Both of our teams controled the game, had almost all the possession and never let up!

Coach Garrett Reitzel sailed to his first career victory as Soccer Coach as his Middle School Cavaliers posted a 6-goal shut out at Tommy Thompson Field Wednesday afternoon. Shawsville battled more than just the wind, as the Cavaliers led by Hat Tricks by two players, Joni Rosales and Jovanni Hernandez.

In a goalkeeper’s nightmare, with the wind blowing into their face, Shawsville gave up the first goal roughly five minutes into the contest. The Cavaliers scored on a corner kick from Hernandez, Rosales netted the ball after winning a challenge on the play while the ball was still airborne. Much like the wind, the Cavaliers were persistent for the remainder of the first half. Both of the goal scorers took turns at putting the ball in the back of the net.

Kudos to the Shawsville keeper and defense as they were able to deny several initial scoring attempts, only to have the second or third attempt on the possession be the one to find the back of the net.

While the defense was tasked with much to do on the night in regard to high pressure opportunities, they stepped up and snuffed out all chances that were presented to them.

The Cavaliers look to build on the momentum of the early season win as their next game will be local rivals Galax Middle School on March 25th, 5pm at CCHS.

Thank You Corey for sharing your thoughts with us and best of luck going forward!
