Boy’s Kickers (from Coach David Harris): The combined team of Boys kickers, Mercy and St. Cecilia, had a fantastic weekend. We were victorious against St. Mary with a score of 5-1. Team record to date is 3-2-1. The boys are coming together with their skills as well as sportsmanship and teamwork. Credit to Martin for some of the drills that we’ve been practicing on Tuesdays. They have come in handy in some of our matches and really have added to our overall experience. Our next match up is this weekend against Walnut Hills @ noon. Armleder #6.
Girls Strikers (from Coach Lisa Galvin-Sang): Mercy's girls strikers team won last weekend's game 2-1. They've scored a bunch of goals this season and their skills continue to improve. This season Mercy teamed up with Queen of Angles and it's been a good experience for all. Goals have been scored by Kate Crotty, Jenna Lawhorn, and Olivia Steinkamp. Other teammates have taken a number of shots on goal and hope to score very soon! Thanks to all of the parents and coaches for your support of our girls!
Boys Strikers (from Michele Geiger); The boys are fighting to hold onto first place in their division and a spot in the SAY tournament. They are currently tied for that spot with a 4-1 record. This weekend's highlights included two awesome headers by Magnificent (Ben) Mansfield and Terrific Thomas (Coughlin). (Ouch--doesn't that hurt?) The team is also enjoying regular scrimmage games with the friends they made last season when the St. Cecilia boys teamed up with Mercy to form one team. Next scrimmage with St. Cecilia--including grills and goodies--will be Oct. 8, 6:00, at St. Rose!
Girls Wings (from Coach Sean Smith ) The Mercy girl Wings team is having a fun and exciting season so far. We have been working hard in practices and the girls are really coming together as a team. It is great to see them holding positions and passing so well in the games. So far, the girl's have 3 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie.
Boy’s Wings (from Coach Matt McLaughlin): We are having another great season, playing to a tie with 7 boys out and no substitutes against a very good Clifton team Saturday, and winning 3-0 Sunday to bring our record to 5-0-1.
Girl’s Passers #2 (from Coach Shannon Keesee): The Girls Passers are improving with every game. Our goalies are stopping lots of great shots, and our offense is working hard to score. We’re all about fun, learning new skills, and embracing the team aspect of soccer. All the players are engaged, we have great sideline support from the parents, and we’re looking forward to finishing the season strong!
Boy’s Passers #1 (from Coach Tim Bronsil): The boys are having an incredible season so far with fifteen goals in five games and a record of 3-2. The goals, coming off the feet of five different players, are the result of a significant team effort. They have shown strong defense, crisp passes, and relentless pursuit of the ball. With only nine players, the boys spend a lot of time on the field. We’re all having a blast (and not just because of a post-practice water balloon fight).
Key: “Kickers” – 7th & 8th grade; “Strikers” – 5th & 6th grade; “Wings” – 3rd & 4th grade; “Passers” – 1st & 2nd grade
