U18′s Shine at 2012 Girls Adidas College Showcase

After starting out the weekend with two impressive results, the Shattuck St. Mary’s girls capped off the weekend with a 1-0 win against the Iowa Rush in the SSM Girls Adidas College Showcase on the campus of Shattuck St. Mary’s in Faribault, MN.

The U18 girls played their first game on friday night against the Chicago Sockers. They controlled most of the game through the strong play of the central midfield. Goals on the day came from Darian Powell, Kaelyn Korte, and Civanni Moss.

The team followed up their impressive form on Saturday afternoon with another 3-0 win against the Fox Valley Strikers from Illinois. The pace and possession of the game was completely dictated by the SSM midfield. Goals on the day came from Darian Powell, Civanni Moss, and Karina Fredette.

The last game on the weekend was a true test for the U18 team. With heavy legs, the girls slowed the game down with possession and picked their times to go forward to goal. With her third goal of the tournament, leading scorer Darian Powell netted the only goal in the 1-0 win against the Iowa Rush.

This coming Wednesday (2/1) the senior soccer players who have committed to college will sign their National Letter of Intent. A ceremony will be held for the signings on the campus of Shattuck St. Mary’s.
