CPHS Soccer: Lady Sandites go undefeated at Stilwell Tournament

/

Senior keeper Abigail Banks saved a pair of games Saturday, winning them in overtime shootouts. 

Collinsville - The Charles Page High School girls' soccer team (6-2, 0-1) went undefeated at the Stilwell Bank of Commerce Tournament this past weekend, winning three matches. 

The tournament was initially called off due to unplayable field conditions in Stilwell, but Collinsville graciously allowed the use of their facilities, helping the Lady Sandites to their first three-game win streak since 2016. 

"We had a great two days," said second-year Head Coach Matthew Miller. "This year the girls have come together with unity, passion, and the desire to dig deep to find their inner Sandite in order to come up top. This tournament being an example of that."

The girls kicked off the tournament with a bang, winning a 6-0 shutout of Locust Grove (1-7) on Friday. Julia Wolf, Ali Esparza, and Julia Lahmeyer scored a goal apiece, while Morgan Poletek recorded her first hat trick of the season. Wolf notched four assists.

On Saturday the Lady Sandites went to overtime shootouts in both matches, winning both 2-1.

Wolf scored the lone goal against Stilwell (2-5) and Poletek scored the lone goal against Westville (5-2). Senior goalkeeper Abigail Banks protected the goal from penalty kicks in both matches. 

"Abigail Banks came up strong over the tournament," said Miller. "I would easily say PKs are her forte. If not for her, I'd say the results could have been different the last two games." He also gave credit to sophomore defenders Demi Deshazo and Libby Colson as crucial in limiting the opposing teams' scoring potential. 

The Lady Sandites will return to district action Tuesday when they host Edmond Santa Fe (2-4, 1-0) 6:00 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. The Sandite boys (4-4, 0-1) will play the Wolves (5-3, 1-0) at 8:00 p.m.

The Charles Page High School soccer teams suffered a pair of Highway 97 Rivalry defeats Tuesday night at the Westside Sports Complex. Sapulpa won both the boys and girls matches 6-1. 

The Sapulpa girls (4-2, 1-0) snapped a two-game losing streak to kick off district action against the Lady Sandites (3-2, 0-1). Khaige English's first goal was nullified on an offsides call, but she made up for it less than a minute later to take the lead at 6:57. Kayln Anderson added another at 8:36, and Abby Graham had a great shot at 14:50 that was saved by Alison Day. 

Julia Wolf scored with an assist from Kyle Taylor at 23:20, but it would be the only goal of the game for the visiting Lady Sandites. The Sandites trailed 2-1 at halftime and suffered a second half shutout. Stormie Ramsey scored two goals for Sapulpa, one with an assist from Graham, while Graham scored two and nearly had a third as she bounced a header off the crossbar. 

Ethan Castillo kicked off boys' action for Sapulpa (5-1, 1-0) with a goal at 3:25, then assisted Caleb Walsh a few minutes later. Jack Bratcher got the visitors on the board at 8:54. Castillo had an offside goal nullified at 10:47, then Jaden Weiser nearly tied it up at 14:14 but the shot traveled just inches over the crossbar. Castillo scored on a penalty kick at 32:24 and Jaxon Zamudio scored at 39:01 for a 4-1 halftime advantage.

In the second half Walsh scored with an assist from Tj Hale at 65:16 and Castillo made it a hat trick at 69:30. Bratcher nearly had a brace, netting a header at 66:59, but was called offsides. 

The Sandite boys (4-4, 0-1) were coming off a 3-1 win at Nathan Hale (2-2) that saw goals from Bratcher, Luke Jeffus, and Weiser. They will return to action next Tuesday with a district home game against Edmond Santa Fe (4-2, 1-0).

Wolf leads her team in scoring this season with five goals, despite missing a game and a half due to an injury. Wolf scored two goals in a season-opening 6-0 shutout against East Central, and is the only player to score more than two goals in a single match this year.
