Under sunny skies and mild
temps, the 2006 girl’s soccer season came to an end as the Connecticut
Girls Soccer Coaches Association held its annual Senior Bowl games on
Saturday, November 25 at Rocky Hill High School. In the first game,
dubbed the Christmas Bowl, the Red and Green teams squared off. The
Green team's Virginia Hyman of Bunnell High School opened the scoring
barely 4 minutes into the game. No sooner had the score been put up,
when the Red team’s Jessica Becker of Amity rifled a shot past the
green’s goalie Morgan Delaney of Holy Cross. Becker put the Red team
ahead less than 5 minutes later when she finished off a pass from
Justine Monahan of Ellington High. The 2 teams then settled down to put
on a display of crisp passing and excellent defense. With less than a
minute to go in the first half, Green’s Courtney Wall of Guilford got in
behind the defense and broke in all alone on red keeper, Kara Williams
of St Joseph’s. Williams came out and made the save to keep the red up
2-1 at the half.
The second half started slowly, and then the red team erupted to take a
3 goal lead behind the goals of Christina Dias of Shelton, and Jenna
Michaud of Bristol Central. The green team mounted numerous attacks into
the red end, only to be turned away time and time again. Kelly McKeon of
Holy Cross cut the lead to 2 with just over 13 minutes to go with an
unassisted goal, but less than 5 minutes later Chloe Mckay of Suffield
finished off a pass from Rachel Schuyler of Cheshire to close out the
scoring. Samantha Schueschner of Brookfield was called upon to make only
4 save for the red in the 2nd half, while her counterpart, Chelsea
Schumacher of Bethel made 9 saves for the green.
Jessica Becker from Amity and Kelly McKeon of Holy Cross were selected
as their teams MVP’s.
The second game was played between the Black and Blue teams, the Bruise
Bowl. The Blue team jumped out to an early lead when Shannon Pescatello
of Wethersfield took a thru ball from Devon Bryn of Wilton and just 5
minutes into the game found the back of the net behind Black team goalie
Hannah Pallein of Lyman Memorial. In the 20th minute, Sophia Vallone of
Staples, found an opening in front of the Blue goal, but keeper Nikki
Weiss of Immaculate dove to her right to make an acrobatic save and keep
the blue in front. Erin Clark of Somers found the back of the net in the
39th minute on an assist from Paige Briglia of Watertown, and then again
2 minutes later Clark took the ball down the right side and deposited it
into the net for her second tally of the afternoon.
The second half brought a renewed sense of energy for the black team,
and less than 9 minutes in Lisa Viccione of Choate Rosemary Hall
received a pass from Raeann Groves of Lyme-Old Lyme to put the black
team on the scoreboard. Black continued to press the attack, and in the
72 minute, Vallone broke in on Brooke Lussier of Tourtellotte and pulled
the black team within 1. Vallone then took a ball down the left sideline
and spotted Kelley Donlan of Lewis Mills across the field streaking down
the right side, and set her up with a perfect pass to knot the game up
at 3. Katie Didio of Rockville turned away a late chance by the red team
to keep the game tied.
Erin Clark of Somers and Sophia Vallone of Staples were named MVP’s.
