Indoor 2012....The season is here!
The 2012 indoor season got underway on SAT and the teams look much more formidable than years past, which is exactly what we were looking for. The competition on the south side of the river was good for scoreboard watchers, but did little to help improve the overall play of the team.

Playing a d2 team in the opener this season, the girls would start a little timid and surrender the first goal, but would settle down and get one of their own to tie the score. Although their were several opportunities during the match, the timing just seemed to be a tad off on this night and that would be the only goal registered by the Eagles.

With no practice time since OCT and the early end to the fall season, the girls have been away from the field for awhile. There was some rust to shake off and some new faces to mesh with, so there is plenty of optimism going forward.

Our opponent may have won the opener, but we will be back and may get to play them again before the season is over. Keep the chins up ladies, there is a long way to go.

Cinti United 6, Eagles 1

Season Finale Weekend
The Eagles closed out their 2011 fall campaign with a game against the NKSA Dynamite. After a weeks worth of rain, the sun was shining. With a win, the girls could secure third place in the division.

The game began in true Eagles fashion, by scoring the first goal of the match. After a nice centering pass and a short redirected touch, the ball would hit the back of the net for a 1-0 lead. A short time later another goal would be scored for a 2-0 lead, a score that would hold through the half. The second half was more of a deliberate grind it out style, to see if the opponent would make a mistake and allow us to get another tally on the board. With about seven minutes remaining in the match, the Dynamite would get on the board to cut the lead in half, but the defense would stiffen and slam the door shut to secure the victory and close out the season.

Final Score: Eagles 2, Dynamite 1

The team jumped four divisions in the offseason, more than any other team in our age group. We told them after the brackets were released that they had earned this promotion, that they belonged with these teams and now they had to go show them who we were.

We are extremely proud of all of the girls for their showing this season. If these teams did not know who we were prior to the season, they certainly do now. Our record may say 2-2-3, but the opponents and their coaches took notice, as multiple compliments were sent our way from coaches and parents during the season.

Great job, ladies! Get some rest and let the injuries heal.

Boom Take Down Eagles
Facing a sister team for the second time this season, the Eagles were anticipating a tough grind it out game against a familiar foe. While we had never faced them in a match at the competitive level, the girls have played against them many times at the rec level.
As has been the standard in almost every match, the Eagles would net the first goal. A nice lead pass to the corner, a drop, then a centering pass and a shot to the back of the net and the scoring was underway. A short time later, the Boom would net the equalizer, but again, the Eagles would score to regain the one goal advantage. late in the half, the Boom would score again and the halftime score would be tied at 2.
The second half was a different story. The Boom would come out with an edge and the Eagles were unable to match it for much of the half. Three quick goals would hit the net and the girls were unable to respond, until late in the half when another goal would squeeze through the keeper and into the net.
Although the final score shows a 3 goal margin, the margin was much closer. A few miscues during the day led to some quick scoring to ultimately decide the outcome. None of them like to lose, but sometimes there are lessons to be taken from games. This one is a great example of such a match. With two evenly matched teams on the pitch, there is no time to take plays off or relax. Everyone must play to the whistle.
Keep your chins up, ladies....the season is not over and we will be back!

Final Score: Sonic Boom 6. Eagles 3

Double Header Weekend #2
The Eagles continued to add points toward the season total by earning points in both contests over the weekend.
SAT, the Eagles travelled to FOSC for a match versus the FOSC Grey and returned to the win column. The temperature was up and the game was played as if the heat were a factor, but the girls dug down to find just enough to pull out the victory. We had lost an earlier match to their sister team in a preseason tournament, but wanted to send a message early on that this would be our day!
After a back and forth volley, the girls appeared to settle down and find a rhythm. The passes were good and setting up shots that were sailing just wide, but as is the usual with this team, they once again put the first goal of the game on the board to take a 1-0 lead. While FOSC would find the back of our net during the game, it would be just once. The game winner would be a put back after a nice pass set up the initial shot and the Eagles would again gain the advantage with a shot to the back of the net and hang on to secure the win.

Keep it up girls, there is still much to play for this season.

Final Score: Eagles 2, FOSC 1

Sunday, the team would travel to Cinti United to take on the CU Lakota Dynamo. Having just played two weeks earlier, both teams knew what was ahead. Ball handling and passing would be the theme of the day and shots would be plentiful, at least for the Eagles! The game would start out with several shots running just wide or just over the crossbar, but eventually the girls would find the back of the net after some quick passes to flip the field. The Dynamo would net the equalier off of a deflection of a corner kick, but the Eagles would not be fazed. After taking time to cool off and catch their breath, the girls came out in the second half and scored just over two minutes into the half. The lead would not last long, however, as the Dynamo would net another to tie the score at 2 all. The Eagles were able to regain the lead a short while later. After a clearing pass up the wing got the rush started, a centering pass set up the go ahead score to give the girls a 3-2 lead. The Dynamo were able to score again though and the game would end in a tie.

Final Score: Eagles 3, Dynamo 3

Great job this weekend, ladies!!

Go Eagles!

Double Header Weekend
The Eagles finally returned to league play on SAT, and travelled to Kolping to face the Ladyhawks.
The game would be a back and forth volley for most of the first half, but the girls finally broke through with a goal before the half to take a 1-0 lead. The lead would hold for most of the second half, but the Ladyhawks would net the equalizer midway through the half. There would be no more scoring on this day, but a beautiful save late in the game would prevent a last minute loss. The Ladyhawks would get a high shot on net, but see it denied by an outstretched hand to punch it high above the crossbar.

Final Score: Eagles 1, Ladyhawks 1

The SUN game would pit the Eagles against the Force, two sister teams from BSC. Although the teams have faced off many times, whether through scrimmages or charity games, they have never met in a league or tournament match.
The game would play out similar to the prior day's game, with the exception being that the opponent would score first. The Force would net the only goal of the first half on a backdoor pass that would be deflected into the net. The Eagles were fortunate that only one goal was scored, as the Force controlled play almost the entire half in our end.
The second half would be almost a reversal of the first, with the Eagles returning the favor by controlling a good bit of the half and continuing to pour shots on the net. The equalizer would pass through the net near the midway point of the half, to see the score knotted at 1.
Late in the game, the Force would get off a lazer shot that would be denied by the keeper into the air, then cleared out of harms way to keep the score tied.

Final Score: Eagles 1, Force 1

This weekend was a great test for the girls and they took points in both contests. The defense and goaltending was super while the passing and communication continue to improve each time out.

Great job, girls! We asked for improved competition to test your skills, and it was delivered. With each game, you battle until the final whistle, with a never say die attitude. Your refusal to quit in these games is a treat to watch.

Go Eagles!

2011 TFA Fall Ball
One day of the tournament down and the Eagles are on a roll.
We started the weekend with questions about the health of a few players and brought in a guest player to help with depth. The girls accepted her immediately and never looked back.

Game one saw the Eagles take the field against the Cincinnati West Diamonds. The girls put the pressure on throughout the half and forced the play at both ends to take a 2-0 lead that they would maintain at the half. The passing was very nice and set up several scoring opportunities. The second half was similar to the first with a few minor miscues, but they would still win the half and the game.

Final Score: Eagles 4, Diamonds 1

Game two would see the Eagles battle the FSC Blue (Indianapolis, Indiana).
Not much was known about this opponent, except that they had dropped their first game of the day. This game would be a battle throughout the half, as neither team seemed to be able to maintain possession long enough to mount much of a scoring threat, but the Eagles would get a quality scoring chance late in the half off of a nice crossing pass and capitalize to take a 1-0 lead. The score would remain that way until late in the second half, when the girls seemed to find a quick burst of energy and pound the net for a three goal explosion, including a pk, in a five minute span to take a commanding 4-0 lead and secure the victory.

Final Score: Eagles 4, Blue 0

The passing and teamwork continue to improve and create some high quality scoring opportunities, but is still a work in progress. With a little more communication and a few unselfish passes, this offense could become a machine. The offensive talent on this team is plentiful and fun to watch when they are on their game while the defense continues to be solid.

Our message before the opening game and throughout the day was to attack the opponent and finish each half. Day one, mission accomplished!
At the midway point of the tournament, the girls have put themselves in position to earn their first tournament finals appearance.

Let's go bring this one home, girls!

Go Eagles!

Day two came early for the team and the fields were slick. The Eagles were set to take on Santos Boca. They would not have the opening kickoff, but would register the first goal within the first 10-15 seconds. The half would see two more registered by the girls and a 3-0 halftime lead. The second half was more of a grind it out, kill the clock session. No more goals were needed if the opponent could not get through the defense. They would manage to get through for a lone goal in the half, but the door would be slammed shut and the Eagles would take the victory, securing a spot in the finals.

Final Score: Eagles 3, Santos 1

Championship Game-Eagles vs Dynamo
The girls were very excited to advance to the finals, their first in tournament play. We had told them all weekend that we were the best team and were out to show the rest of the teams what we had. They had just proven our belief as they completed preliminary round play by scoring the most goals while allowing the fewest against.
When the game started, we were forcing the play in the offensive end, but came away empty. A short time later, the play was being forced on us. We looked a bit stunned by what the opponent was able to do to us, but still the game remained scoreless. The Dynamo would get on the board about midway through the half, but we felt good about our ability to come back and take control of the game. We were getting quality shots, the passing was good, but sometimes its just not your day. This would be that game. Although we would come up a goal short in the finals, this team displayed heart and character throughout the tournament, in their never quit mentality, their ability to fight through injury, and their willingness to battle through to the end.
The passing and defense throughout the tournament was awesome, girls! The offensive punch continues to be there, as it has from the start.
Keep your heads held high, ladies. You will see this team again.

Final Score: Dynamo 1, Eagles 0

Eagles Drop Close Game at Home
The Eagles opened their season today at home and dropped a close game, their first loss in their three seasons as a club team. The girls would control the first half, dominating play by continuing to pound the ball on their opponent. Several first half shots would sail just wide of the net or over the crossbar. Once the nerves settled down, the girls found their stride and registered the first goal of their new season, on the way to a three goal outburst in the half. One of the prettiest goals in the short history of the team would come with just FOUR seconds left in the half. Starting the break from in front of their own net, the ball would be cleared wide and carried up the wing. A blistering shot from just inside the corner of the box would find the back of the net between the keeper and the post. The keeper obviously didn't see it and never moved! Several more opportunities were presented to them throughout the half, but we felt like we had the momentum and were taking a 3-1 lead to the break. The halftime message to the team was simply to finish the opportunities they were given.
The second half was a back and forth volley, waiting for something to happen. Unfortunately for the Eagles, their opponent would register the first two goals of the half to tie the score at three. A few minutes later the Eagles would regain the lead, a lead that would be short lived. The Crushers would score the last two goals of the game and take the victory.
This was a great first test of the new season, ladies. Although you were disappointed with the results, there is much to be learned from this. There were several positives as well. Keep your heads up and be ready to get back to work.

Final Score: Crushers 5, Eagles 4

Buffalo Wings and Rings

CSA Dog Days
The Eagles entered the Dog Days tournament weekend with high hopes for their fall season kickoff facing some unfamiliar opponents. Although the teams were from higher divisions, the girls were ready to kick off the season and show off their abilities.
Game one, the girls would take the field against the WC United Silver Streaks...The game got off to a great start, with the Eagles putting up the first two goals. Late in the half the Silver Streaks would find the back of our net after a mis hit goal kick. The Eagles forced the play into the offensive end throughout the half, but the halftime score would stand at 2-1. The second half would play much like the first, with the girls finding the back of the opponents net and a short lived two goal lead. Another bad turnover on a clearing pass, and the WC girls were back to within one. A short time later, the Eagles would regain the advantage with another goal of their own. The scoring would be caped off with a late goal by the WC United, but the clock would expire with the Eagles victorious!!

Final Score: Eagles 4, WC United 3

Game two would find the Eagles pitted against the Grove City Kids Lady Fire. Little was known about this opponent entering the contest, other than they had dropped their first game of the day. We were looking for a fast start, but the girls appeared to be very tired and sluggish throughout the game. Their would be no scoring in the first half for either side. The second half would play a little better, with the girls finding the back of the net for the first goal of the game, but a short time later the Lady Fire would score the equalizer. Just past the midway point in the second half, the Eagles would get the game winner by forcing the play in front of the net.

Final Score: Eagles 2, Lady Fire 1

Game three would be an early Sunday morning contest between the Eagles and the FOSC GU11 Black. A tie or win would propel the Eagles into the finals for the first time in their short tournament history. Kickoff was set for 7:30 am and both teams appeared to be tired out of the gate as neither could get much going. Near the midway point of the first half, the girls seemed to find an energy boost and were forcing the play into the offensive zone. A nice crossing pass was intercepted but unable to be cleared and the Eagles would again register the first goal of the match, a lead they would take to halftime. The second half would start much like the first, but the Eagles appeared to be running out of gas about halfway through, allowing FOSC to score and tie the match at 1. Late in the second half FOSC would again find the back of the net and register two additional goals in a three minute stretch to seal the match and a spot in the finals.

Final Score: FOSC 3, Eagles 1

Although the girls did not advance, they did get a chance to play teams slotted higher within CUSL and get a taste of what league games are gonna be like this season. We may get on them from time to time, but it's because we know what they can do when they bring their game! Chin up ladies, you have much to be proud of! There were a few errors here and there, but none that aren't correctable.

Go Eagles!

Eagles take HUGE leap forward!
After consecutive seasons of owning division 9, the Eagles made their case that these girls were much better than they were being given credit for...this summer those voices have been heard and we have been moved up to Division 5.
In consecutive tournaments this spring, we were placed against Premier level teams and finished each weekend with a -3 goal differential. That in itself was the statement that we belonged with better teams.

Way to go ladies, you deserve this!
Now, we get back to work to stay there!

Go Eagles!

Eagles Top Marauders, Finish Undefeated
The Eagles closed out their 2011 spring campaign, their second competitive season, with a game tonight against their sister team, the BSC Marauders. With a win, the Eagles could secure a second divisional title and back to back undefeated seasons.
While it was a hot steamy night, the girls would play flat and fatigued at times throughout the game, reaching and stabbing at loose balls and the opponent. Several times during the game the girls would be called for tripping or shoving, and deservedly so.
Ultimately the Eagles would find enough of the offensive and defensive sides of their game to secure the victory.
After a short but much needed break away from the field, and a team party, we will get back at it preparing for fall. Enjoy the break ladies, conditioning is coming!

Final Score:Eagles 6, Marauders 1

Great job this season, Eagles! Back 2 Back Division Champs!

Eagles Stop KSA-West, Clinch Share of Divisional Crown
The Eagles, playing their fifth game in as many days, returned home on MON to face KSA-West. The girls looked sluggish and played tired for most of the night, but thanks to a quick start, they were able to hold off the opponents valiant charge in the second half and come away with the win.

With their win, the girls have secured a share of the divisional crown for spring. A win in the finale will secure the title outright.

Final Score:Eagles 5, KSA-West 4

Before the game, the girls took a minute to gather for a team picture.

Congrats on your accomplishments girls! We are all proud of you!

Creek Classic
The Eagles travelled to Beavercreek this past weekend to take part in the Creek Classic. This was the last tournament of the season for the team before concluding the regular season.

Although the scoreboard does not reflect a happy ending to the weekend, this was a great learning experience for everyone. The opponents in this tournament were all d4 or higher and the girls handled themselves very well overall.

Eagles and Spurs Battle for Division Lead
The Eagles travelled to northern Kentucky on THU night to battle the Spurs. Both teams entered the contest with undefeated records, but only one would emerge with their record intact after the game. Winning the game and taking sole possession of the division lead, the Eagles posted their second consecutive shutout.
Last seasons contest was a great battle, with the Eagles prevailing 2-1. The highlight of the night was a game saving kill of a penalty shot in the last two minutes. This game would be played a bit differently though, with the girls forcing the Spurs to play in their own end for a majority of the first half. Although no goals would be registered, several scoring opportunities were available during the half.
The second half would be played very similar to the first, until the Eagles would finally break thru for a near empty net goal off of a misplayed goal kick. Soon after the shots would begin to reign on the Spurs. Several quality scoring chances were available from the wings but floated high. A forced turnover would result in a second goal, while the scoring would be capped off through hard work and teamwork.

Final Score: Eagles 3, Spurs 0

Great job, ladies! Go Eagles!

Eagles Down Alliance, Remain Undefeated
With all of the rainouts and reschedules we have seen this spring, what was to have been a home game for the Eagles turned into a weeknight trip to Kolping to take on the Alliance. As the girls have shown in their short history of competitive play, the venue makes no difference. Despite the heat and humidity on this night, they turned in their most complete game of the spring and recorded their first shutout this season.
In a solid first half, the girls applied more consistant pressure to their opponent, forcing them back into their defensive third for most of the half. Five goals would be scored in the half, all by the Eagles! Any attempted offensive rush by the Alliance would be harmlessly swept aside by the defense forcing them to take shots from beyond quality scoring range.
The second half would provide more of the same on the defensive end. While the Alliance would get off a few good shots; nothing would find it through to the net.

Great job tonight, ladies!

Final Score: Eagles 6, Alliance 0

BIT Invitational Tournament
The Eagles will travel to Lexington, KY to compete in the Bluegrass Invitational tournament May 14/15, where they will compete against teams from Dayton, Columbus and Lexington.

The brackets are now posted. We will kick off our tournament schedule on SAT, MAY 14 at 11:15am. Complete listings can be found on the schedules link.

Eagles v Cheetahs part 2
Having already faced them in the fall, the Eagles travelled to Cleves on SUN to take on the Cinti West Cheetahs. Going into the game, we knew they were a very good defensive team, with size and speed, having allowed the fewest goals against within the division last season at just over one per game.
This game would start slow, for us anyway....not too many teams have wanted to run with us, and the girls looked a little surprised. Two mistakes on the defensive end would see the Cheetahs capitalize as the girls were caught watching and the ball would end up in the back of our net. Netting one of our own, the half would end with the Eagles trailing 2-1.
The second half would see the tables turn a bit. Several shots would find the post or the crossbar, while another would sail high. Sensing a momentum shift, the girls started to come alive and converted some misplayed balls to take a shortlived 3-2 lead. However; letting the guard down a few minutes later allowed the Cheetahs to score the equalizer and tie the score at 3 all. With about five minutes remaining, the Eagles would find the back of the Cheetah net to score the game winner.
The game today was not pretty by any means, but the girls were able to gut it out and find a way to get the victory. Sometimes the opponent will force you to play a style you may not like, other times they will just be stronger at your point of weakness. The good teams find a way to adapt and pull together at some point while fighting til the last whistle, no matter the outcome.
The best news is that while we have not played our best game yet this season, we find ourselves leading the division at 3-0. The season is far from over, though. Hard work and tougher teams lie ahead, ladies!!!

Final Score: Eagles 4, Cheetahs 3

Eagle Invitational Cornhole Tournament
A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who came out to help and participate in the inaugural Eagle Invitational on SAT. Although turnout was light for the event, we did have 19 teams compete in the tournament and several baskets were raffled off.

Eagles Dominate
Looking to start the season with a 2-0 record, the Eagles took the field on WED night against SCSA Ratterman. We wanted to send a message early that this would be long night for our opponent, and what a message the girls would deliver. Without much time together in training or practice, the girls appear to be all business on the field. The passing in this game was much improved over game one and consistant pressure was applied to the net.

No time to rest on our results to date though girls, game three will be played on SUN and will be the toughest challenge of the season so far.

Final Score: Eagles 8, SCSA 1

Eagles Take Season Opener
With only one new face to work into the mix, the expectations are high for this season; but, heading into the opener we were a little unsure how the girls would perform as the entire team has not been on the field together for a training session since OCT. However; in true Eagle fashion, the girls looked like they have been waiting for today to come all along. Kicking off their spring season with a bang, the Eagles handed the CU Lakota Yellow Jackets a sound defeat. Wasting little time in getting on the scoreboard, the girls scored two quick goals to start the game, letting our opponent know that it would be a long day in the sun.
It's not too often you receive compliments from your opponent, especially in a one sided game, but several nice comments were made about the girls from the opponents parents.
Although, one game does not a season make, if today is any indication of things to come, this will be a very fun season indeed.

Final Score: Eagles 8, Yellow Jackets 1

UNDEFEATED and CHAMPIONS......AGAIN!
Having secured a share of the division title a week earlier, the Eagles still had much to play for in the finale. Sole possession of first place and an undefeated season was on the line as the girls took the field versus the BSC Dynamite.
Getting ready for the game, the girls had a look of focus and determination that they would not be denied in their quest for another division title. A powder keg was about to erupt, only on this night the Eagles were the ones to explode.
From the opening touch throughout much of the match, the Eagles would be the aggressor and force the Dynamite to play out of their own end. Eight different girls would score a goal, but the teamwork and passing was the most impressive. There were some forced shots, but several times the extra pass was made in an attempt to get a better look at the net.
Although the roster has seen a few faces change in their three seasons of indoor play, the core of the team has been the same since the beginning...and what a ride it has been. Another constant has been the training and guidance of Dan Silvis. His work with the girls has been much appreciated and I cannot thank him enough for all the help he has been.
Final Score: Eagles 22, Dynamite 1

Great season ladies! Way to close out the winter session!

Go Eagles!

Eagles Secure Share of Division Title
Our latest game versus the Wolfpack, was one that featured a bit of everything...staggering, decleated players...teeth flying, and plenty of goals to go around.
Unsure that the opponent was even going to show, with their late arrival, we began the night thinking we may get to hold a split squad scrimmage.
The entire team has not been together for the past three games, (basketball and illness have limited some players availability), but all were on hand on this night as the Eagles were hitting on all cylinders and most of their shots! Although they may not have known at game time, this opponent would quickly learn that they would become the latest team to feel the wrath of the Eagles.
With this win, the girls have assured themselves no less than a share of the division title.
Only one game remains on the indoor season schedule, a date with the Dynamite on SAT evening. The Eagles can claim the division outright with a win in that game.
Final Score: Eagles 23, Wolfpack 2

Go Eagles!

Blast 2.0
For the second time in a week, the Eagles travelled to Wilder to take on the Blast, this time in an early SAT morning contest.
Expecting our opponent to come in with a chip on their shoulder attitude this time around, we were surprised to see them play a little sluggish. Our girls typically respond pretty well in the 7am games, and this one would be no exception.
The passing today was very good. Seven girls (Caitlyn, Cassidy, Alexa, Allie, Maci, Peyton, and Sydni) would register at least one goal during the game. Although not all of them were converted, several point blank shots were set up off of beautiful crossing and centering passes.
Final Score: Eagles 14, The Blast 3

Keep it up girls! With the win, you are now one win away from another divisional title!

Go Eagles!

Blast Off!
Tonights game had the makings of a great mid season battle, with first place on the line for the winner...sole possession for the Eagles or a tie for first for the Blast.
Speed and teamwork would prevail throughout the match to help the Eagles hold on to the top spot in the standings. Although the Blast would play a tight, physical game against us, the girls continued to find the back of the net, time and time again due to the ability to win loose balls and find an open teammate.
Going in, we told the girls to play loose, but with intensity and purpose...to play their game, regardless of what our opponent wants to do. On this night, they did just that.

Final Score: Eagles 14, Blast 3

Great team win tonight, ladies!

Go Eagles!

Back to Work
WOW! What great timing for a bye weekend!
With several players feeling under the weather, hopefully some of the girls were able to take advantage of the extra week off to get well.
We will close out the winter season with four straight game weekends.
After walking through 3 of the 4 first half games, the girls are looking for an opponent to step up and challenge them.
Although they haven't put up the goals that we have, the Blast have lit up the scoreboard in their first three games and like us, they appear to be a pretty good defensive team also. We will have a real good idea where we stand after facing them on back to back weekends.
Let's take them one game at a time and try keep the train rollin'!

After a week off to relax, recover and recharge, we get back to training tonight in preparation for SAT.

Here we go Eagles!

Tigers Thrashed
This game, marking the midway point of the indoor season, was one that will go in the record books. The Eagles set or tied a few team records on this night as the game went on.
As one of only two teams in the division still without a loss heading into this contest, the Eagles were looking to remain unbeaten, while the Tigers (who claimed their division in session one) were seeking a win to get back on track.
The Eagles would register the first goal, then continue to pound the net throughout the game. Every girl that played would record a point on this night. Seven girls (Maci, Caitlyn, Alexa, Emma, Allie, Sydni, and Cassi) would register at least one goal, with Laura, Peyton and Kayla adding assists during the contest. Hannah was at home nursing a 101 temperature waiting for the game update at the conclusion.
The communication could have been better tonight, but the passing was much improved. With little opposition at times to stop it, the girls were able to make crossing and centering passes to force the attack and keep the opponent on their heels.

Final Score: Eagles 21, Tigers 1

Go Eagles!

Eagles Turn Back Teal Seals
Having not played in two weeks, the girls were anxious to see another opponent and returned to the turf tonight against the Teal Seals (Boone Co, KY). Their coach was willing to accept defeat before the game had even kicked off and our girls were apprehensive playing against a smaller opponent.
Although their coach was willing to forfeit the game rather than play, we would get to meet on the field. The Seals put up a great fight throughout the game and battled for every loose ball. A few players would get banged up due to getting hit with kicked balls, one to the face, but never backed down or asked to quit.
A balanced scoring attack has been a mark of this team from their beginning and this game would be no different, as seven different Eagles (Alexa, Caitlyn, Emma, Cassidy, Sydni, Allie, and Peyton) would register a goal during the game. Keep it up ladies, no matter the opponent or situation, there is always a teammate to pick you up. Enjoy the weekend and be ready to learn and improve on Monday!
Tonights lesson is one to carry throughout the season....Never judge a book by its cover girls! As the old saying goes, "it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!"

Final Score: Eagles 8, Teal Seals 2

Go Eagles!

Eagles Crush Princesses
The Deadly Princesses (Independence, KY) were next on the schedule for the Eagles. Looking for a quick start in this game, the girls would make sure there was no doubt to the expected outcome.
Considering they have only played together for two games, the passing between the girls is great to see, and continues to get better. Scoring chances were plentiful throughout the game and the girls took full advantage of their opportunities. Five of them would find the back of the net in this game, but 7 different girls would tally an assist.
Several girls have already attempted to head the ball this season and the body play on defense as well as settling the ball continues to improve.
The prettiest would be goal of the short history of the team was nullified on a call that the ball hit the roof support on the way down. Cassidy would send an arcing pass across the box that Peyton would head into the net, only to have the goal waved off. (I still have doubts that the ball actually hit the beam, and the opposing parents let out a few ooohs and ahhhs)

Final Score: Eagles 12, Princesses 1

Keep it up girls! Tougher challenges await. Stay hungry and keep working hard!

Go Eagles!

Eagles Win Season Opener
Taking the field for their third season of indoor play, the Eagles began the indoor season the same way they have every other time....with the victory!
This time around we welcomed several new faces to the team and they would make their presence felt often, but the Strikers would find the back of the net first. While they may have allowed the first two goals of the game, the girls would settle down and come roaring back as six of them (Emma, Cassi, Caitlyn, Sydni, Alexa and Maci) would register a goal in the opener.
Unlike the first two seasons, this opponent would put up a fight from the beginning, but the girls continued to battle throughout the game to come away with the victory.

Final Score: Eagles 11, Strikers 7

Great job, girls!

Go Eagles!

Eagles Indoor Season Begins

Go EAGLES!

Eagles return to the turf
Looking to defend their consecutive divisional titles, the indoor version of the Eagles will be taking their game back to the turf for the winter.
Several new faces will be joining forces with some indoor veterans for the upcoming season. Welcome back Cassi, Sydni, Peyton and Allie!

2010 CUSL Div 9 CHAMPIONS!!!!

UNDEFEATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Eagles closed out their inaugural season of select soccer with a home contest against the Cinti West Diamondbacks.
Although they had already clinched a share of first place, there was still an undefeated season to play for in the finale and sole possession of first.
The girls seemed to be playing with a fire of determination as the passing and teamwork was much improved. The physical style that they are used to delivering was back and seemed to frustrate the Diamondbacks time after time on the field.
All of the scoring came in the first half, as the Eagles scored three times and had several more shots float just wide. Defensively, the girls secured their first shutout of the season. A fitting end to the season, as they have been close a few times, only to see the opposition score a goal and deny the shutout. In the finale, they would not be denied.
Final Score: Eagles 3, Diamondbacks 0

Great job, CHAMPS!....thanks for a great year!

Go Eagles!

Now that the season is complete, the team will take a short, but much deserved break before heading to spring tryouts in early November.

CLINCHED!
The Kolping Alliance came calling tonight looking to climb their way toward the division lead, the Eagles were looking to maintain and extend the lead that they have held the entire season. While it may not have looked pretty for most of the night, the Eagles never trailed in the game. Sometimes that's the way it goes in a grind it out game between two pretty good teams, but in the end the Eagles found just enough to stay ahead on the scoreboard and held off a furious late charge by the Alliance to take the 3-2 victory.
With tonights win, the Eagles have assured themselves no less than a tie for the division title. With a win in the final game, they can claim that title outright!
Tonights game was a rematch between two teams that met in August at the Dog Days tournament. The first meeting saw the Eagles score four unanswered goals in the second half to pull away and secure the victory!
This game would prove to be much more of a challenge, with neither team having the luxury of playing with much open fieldspace. The Eagles have improved and grown as a team since that first meeting, and as we expected, the Alliance have grown as well.

We have one game left on the schedule ladies, let's go finish what we started!!!

Final Score: Eagles 3, Alliance 2

Go Eagles!

Winners Never Quit
Playing on back to back days is something that the girls are used to coming from recreational soccer. Having your opponent lean on you, pounding the body and legs, and applying pressure the entire way is something that they haven't seen much, if at all. This was the case on SAT afternoon in Springboro, where the Eagles travelled to take on the NWC Alliance-White.
Although the opponent did not have a win, they did have two ties in their previous three matches and had only allowed a total of three goals.
Looking for another fast start to try and get the opponent on their heels, the Eagles were the first team to find the net once again! The lead would be short lived though, as the opponent would tally the final two goals of the half to take a 2-1 halftime lead.
The second half was a much more grind it out physical game, that saw neither team get much of a scoring threat with very limited shot opportunities. The half would be that way until a clearing pass from the goal would find its' way across midfield and be settled with a touch pass to the middle that would ultimately be placed into the net with just 26 seconds remaining to tie the score at 2-2!
Fighting for every loose ball, gutting out a physical game, scrapping for the last goal until the final seconds are gone, leaving nothing out on the field....that is what Champions are made of!!! Although they were out of gas at the final whistle, they played through to the end to take a point in the match. No matter what happens in the final two games, these girls are Champions!
Final Score: Eagles 2, NWC Alliance-White 2

Great job, ladies!

Go Eagles!

Home Sweet Home
Returning to competition tonight against the FOSC Red Bulls, the girls seemed to enjoy playing closer to home this time and turned in their most complete game to date. The passing, teamwork, and communication were much improved over the last few games and the opponent could do little to stop the offensive explosion that the Eagles were about to deliver.
Offensively, the shots were coming from inside and outside, clearing passes, crossing passes and a header leading to a breakout goal. While they may have floated wide in the early stages of the game, they were on target for the rest of the night. Defensively, the girls forced turnovers more consistantly with better ball pressure and never really allowed the Red Bulls to get comfortable.

Final Score: Eagles 6, Red Bulls 1

On the Road Again
As has been the case in three of their first four games, the Eagles were the visiting team, this time travelling to Cleves to take on the Cinti West Cheetahs. After a back and forth start that saw both teams misfiring on shots or being denied by some fine goalkeeping at both ends, the Eagles finally connected with the first goal of the game and would take a 1-0 lead to the half.
In the second half, the Eagles put another goal on the board to take a 2-0 lead, through a redirected kick as the ball squirted through the keepers feet. A short time later, the Cheetahs would cut the lead in half with a goal of their own, but the girls would answer on the next possession with another goal to take a 3-1 lead and hang on for the victory!
Goals on the day were provided by Caitlyn (2) and McKenna.
Final Score: Eagles 3, Cheetahs 1

Great job ladies! Although everyone seemed to be a bit sluggish and off their game today, you found a way to battle through it and come away with the victory. That's what good teams do....they find a way to win when nothing seems to be going right!

Go Eagles!

Weekend Sweep
Setting out for their longest road trip of the season, the Eagles travelled to W Harrison, IN on SAT morning to face off against the TFA Fire Hawks.
The 'hawks would strike first in this contest, but wasting little time in netting the equalizer, the Eagles would tie the score 34 seconds later with the first of three first half goals. The scoring would continue in the second half as two more goals would be put on the board. Goals were tallied by Danielle (2), Caitlyn (2) and Mallory (1), with several assists provided by their teammates.
Final Score: Eagles 5, Fire Hawks 3

On SUN, The Eagles returned home to take on the NKSA Blue. Wanting to get off to a fast start and put pressure on their opponent, the girls would once again tally the first goal. As has been the case in all but one game since moving to competitive soccer, the Eagles have scored the first goal of the match. The score would not remain that way long, as the Blue would punch home the equalizer a short time later. Neither team could get much going on the offensive end and the score at the half was tied 1-1.
In half number two, the Eagles had a little luck on their side. Regaining possession near midfield, and looking for a breakout pass, a high arching shot would find its way through to bounce into the net to give the Eagles a 2-1 lead. With under two minutes left in the match, the Blue would line up for a penalty shot and an attempt at tying the game only to be denied.
A good hard shot was placed on net, but straight into the arms of the keeper.
Final Score: Eagles 2, NKSA Blue 1

Great job, girls!

Go Eagles!

Season Opener
The Eagles began their season today against Classics Hammer FC Select. The girls made their presence felt early with an odd man rush up the field for an open shot to the back of the net, only to have the goal wiped out. Although nothing was called, the goal was denied and Hammer was awarded a goal kick on the play. ??? We still don't know what the call was. Not to be denied, the team continued to fire shots on goal the entire match, connecting several times throughout the game. Defensive pressure was provided by Kayla, Maci, Laura, and Hannah, limiting the shots against and allowing Jenna plenty of time to play the ball away from the goal. Offensively, the goals were continuous from Mallory (3), Caitlyn (2), Danielle (1), and McKenna (1). Kilee and Maci also provided shots on goal to keep the opponent from getting comfortable.
Nice opening game, girls!
FINAL SCORE: Eagles 7, Hammer 2

Go EAGLES!

Fall Kickoff
While the season does not officially begin until mid September, the Eagles began their 2010 fall season, their first competitive campaign, with a preseason tournament.
Having only been together as a team for about a month, the girls were excited to take to the field against someone other than their teammates.
On Saturday, AUG 21, in game one of the tournament, the Eagles were facing a league opponent in the Kolping Alliance. Wasting little time in notching their first goal, the girls connected on back to back crossing passes from the right corner through the box and into the net. There were plenty of additional scoring opportunities in the first half, but none would reach the net and the Eagles would trail 3-2 at the half. Refusing to stay down for long, the girls would open the second half with a quick burst of goals to retake the lead and close out the match.
Final Score: Eagles 6, Alliance 3
Game two was against CJ United, and as was the case in game one, the Eagles would strike first and continue to apply pressure throughout the match.
Final Score: Eagles 6, CJ United 1
Sunday, AUG 22 the Eagles would be facing the TFA NKY Stingrays. Both teams were undefeated entering the contest and a trip to the finals awaited the winner. Expecting it to be a fight the entire match, the Eagles would find the back of the net twice midway through the half and hold that advantage until the last minute of the first half, when the Stingrays were awarded a pk. Although they held a 2-1 lead at the half, the Eagles would struggle to get on track in the second half while the opponent would seize the momentum and the match.
Final Score:Stingrays 6, Eagles 3
Although they would fall short of reaching the finals in their first tournament, the weekend was a great learning experience for the girls to see how much different competitive soccer is compared to what they were used to in rec.
