2009 MHSAA Girls Soccer Playoffs

Portage Central senior Shannon Bennett headed in a corner kick serve from Taylore Peterson just 39 seconds into overtime to power unbeaten Central to a 3-2 victory over Utica Eisenhower in the Division 1 state championship at Troy Athens on Saturday.

Top ranked Central closes a remarkable season at 27-0-2 to become the first team from the west side of the state to win a Division 1 girls soccer state championship. No. 10 Eisenhower (18-3-2) was the first team from Macomb County to play in a state final since the MHSAA began sponsorship in 1983. The Mustangs have one state championship in Division 2 (2000 over Madison Heights Bishop Foley) and one runners-up trophy from 1998 (Birmingham Groves)—all in overtime!

The 27 wins this season is a new school record eclipsing the old mark of 23 wins set in three consecutive seasons at the turn of the century in 1999, 2000, and 2001.

Bennett scored her ninth goal of the season and Peterson earned her team-leading 27^th helper on the Mustangs 10^th corner kick of the game.

“Jamie Morton made the run (to setup the corner kick) and Peterson sent me a beautiful ball and it worked out just how we had planned it,” Bennett said of the serve that sailed beyond everyone and into a set play where three Mustangs were stacked awaiting the kick about 12 yards out from the Eisenhower goal. “I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Peterson had nine previous corner kicks in the game that failed to initiate a goal in regulation time. Did the coach have anything to say?

“He (Pat Norman) just told us to keep working on them. He asked if Taylore was playing the ball right,” Bennett said. “She was giving us variations to throw them off and we just had to judge them right. I guess that’s what I did. I judged it right on that one and sent it in. It was awesome.”

Eisenhower coach Mehrdad Nekoogar didn’t like what he saw as the championship-winning play unfolded. “We didn’t do a good job marking their players on that corner kick. The corner kick was actually in a good spot right on the far post and they had four players there. For some reason we didn’t mark them and they took advantage of it. Those things happen.”

The deciding goal came on the first shot of the period. No surprise to that since a goal was scored on the first shot of each period.

Making its third Finals appearance, Central welcomed Macomb County’s finest to the Finals when Paige Wester snuck in off the right flank and buried an unassisted goal 41 seconds into the game. It was Wester’s 18^th goal of the year. Alyssa Tomassi drew the Eagles even on their first shot of the game at 1:43 when she converted an Aubrey Sudomier pass.

Central’s Lauren Brown sandwiched an unassisted goal between two shots off the crossbar when she ripped a 15 yarder that deflected off an Eagles defender and changed directions and went past Ike keeper Becky Lipinski for a 2-1 Mustangs lead at 12:16.

Two minutes and 39 seconds after the intermission, Sudomier struck for her 13^th goal of the season and the Eagles were even at 2-all. Allie Misner fired a left wing cross that Central keeper Samantha Bowditch got a hand on but Sudomier banged in the loose ball to knot the game.

The Eagles began to possess the ball more in the second stanza but shots were at a premium. Besides the goal, Eisenhower had just one slow roller at the goal in the half. Central outshot Eisenhower, 13-8, in the game. Lipinski and Bowditch each made two first half saves and none in the second half.

The win was career number 407 for Central’s coach Pat Norman who has guided the Mustangs for 24 seasons.

“We knew the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes of the halves are the most critical times because that’s when people are letting down or just not ready,” Norman said. “The first 5 minutes is the time when the goals are scored.”

Portage Central finishes the season at 27-0-2, while Eisenhower ends it's fine season at 18-3-1. A Few More Photos Game Summary

The air horns were blaring as a salute from their fans as top ranked Bloomfield Hills Marian edged No.3 East Grand Rapids, 1-0, in the Division 2 state championship at Troy Athens on Saturday. The title is the third in six years for the Mustangs who also captured back-to back titles in 2003-04. Marian lost to EGR in the 2002 championship game. EGR also won back-to-back crowns in Division 3 in 2000 and 2001 before moving up to Division 2.

Junior Elizabeth Doman scored the game’s only goal with 7:07 remaining as she ran under a 35-yard free kick serve from senior Courtney Andries and headed a shot past EGR keeper Greer Bratschie.

The goal broke open an anticipated defensive struggle and was the 14^th shot set up after Marian’s Sara Zawacki was fouled during a very physical game.

“I just saw it coming over. Courtney put a great ball in. I was happy that I wasn’t offsides,” Doman said of her 10^th tally of the year and championship clincher. “I saw it go into the back of the net and I love seeing that happen. It’s just a mind blower. I felt absolutely so proud and everybody piled on me. It’s a great experience to see it. It’s overwhelming and the feeling is incredible.”

Marian (22-2-1) carried the territorial advantage for most of the game and limited the Pioneers to seven shots while returning 15. Both teams were a little erratic as senior keeper Whitney Sarkis made just one first half save in the game for Marian and Bratschie recorded three first half saves. Neither goalie had to make a save in the second half.

“I was surprised the refs didn’t call a lot more (fouls), but that’s what you expect in a state championship game,” Doman said. “It’s going to be physical and it’s going to rough. In the end, we pulled it out so I’m happy. We worked hard for the entire game and I love all of them. We wouldn’t have gotten here without every effort by each individual on the team.”

EGR’s only chance of the game came in the 9^th minute when Kelly Foy ripped a shot off the crossbar. Marian’s Anna Cicerone almost put Marian on the scoreboard when her 25 yard blast caromed off the crossbar with 11:16 to play in the first half.

“We had some good opportunities and good combinations, but overall we just never really got into our flow,” said EGR coach Hollie Bonnema. “Give credit to Marian because they played great.”

Marian took control in the second half. Doman missed on a header 9:15 after the half and Caroline Bodiya shanked a 15-yarder wide left less than three minutes later. Zawacki sent a 18-yarder rolling wide left with 2:38 to play.

Sarkis posted her 15^th shutout for Marian and the senior had a strong hold on the championship trophy. “This is so unbelievable. The defense was solid today. They always come out solid and that was the key again. Everybody played great,” Sarkis said.

Marian had yielded only nine goals all year and EGR had limited its opposition to just 14 in 24 games so it was no surprise that the teams fought through midfield congestion for most of the cloudy afternoon.

“You work so hard you don’t think this can really happen. Just then it happens and you’re so happy that it’s hard to describe,” said Brodsky.

Heidi Scholten scores the games only goal on an assist by Paige Capel at the 35:09 mark in the first half. Unity Christian finishes at 20-4-2, while Powers Catholic ends at 16-8-1. Game Summary

Beth Anne Hill got the assist on the winning goal. Junior midfielder Miranda Dershimer scored Greenhills lone goal in the first half. Foley's Kyla Cross scored both goals to pace the Ventures to victory. Bishop Foley ups it's record to 11-5-6. Greenhill finishes at 13-3-8.

The game remained that way until Powers scored twice in the last 90-seconds (Buck and Genord)of the half to take a 3-0 at the break. Joining Powers' Dream-Team Forward, Kate Howrath, in scoring were Mckenzie Mora (2), Katie Buck (2), Jessica Genord, and Allie Saville. Freeland's only shot of the match came on a penalty kick late in the second half. Reserve keeper, Christina Rodriquez, dove to her right to push the shot wide and spoil Freeland's bid to avoid the shutout. Both squads are to be congratulated for a well-played match that saw no cards and few whistles for fouls.

After the score, Powers became relentless in their attack, with Clem making several nice saves to keep Williamston in the game. Williamston, in a late flurry, had a good chance fly over the bar at about the 70th minute. Lauren Kooy made 11 saves to earn the shutout for the Chargers.

Truman settled down and played well, not allowing the Warriors very many opportunities. Half time 2-0. The Warriors were aware how critical the next goal would be for either team. They came out, passed beautifully right down the field and Shelby Mathers rattled home a great shot from a give and go with Renee Morrison with only 20 seconds gone in the half. Woodhaven would not sit back and gloat. They pushed forward and scored again at the two minute mark, when Renee Morrison fired a nice shot home from about 8 yards out, and a nice pass from Shelby Mathers. Truman had two extremely dangerous forwards and really kept the Warriors defense on their toes for the rest of the game. Shelby Jackson had the Warrior shut-out, her 12th of the season. Great effort from the visiting Cougars.

Oscoda leading scorer, Dani Griffin, ran onto the ball and blasted Oscoda's first goal home. Oscoda continued the pressure with Griffin getting many opportunities to shoot. Oscoda took a two goal lead at the 29th minute mark when Griffin shot and Chelsea Carraway collected the rebound and tucked the ball into the net. Three minutes later, Grayling cut Oscoda's lead when they rushed the net and beat Oscoda's goalkeeper, Nicole Jackson. Oscoda enjoyed a 2-1 lead at the half.
Grayling came out strong in the second half, building on the momentum of their late first half goal. They kept the Owls on their heels, allowing Oscoda only 2 shots in the second half. Grayling tied the score in the 66th minute and won the match with the penalty kick in the 88th.
