5/16/2017

The Tigers entered the playoffs with a 10-6 record and the 6th seed in the northeast region, facing 9th seed Olathe North.  The Tigers were a slow in getting started despite earning a corner kick in the 10th minute.  Olivia Nichols served a great ball into the box which caused a lot of chaos, and Madalynn Gill was able to finish what proved to be the winning goal.  The score remained tied until half-time.  The Tigers regrouped at half-time and came out much more poised and possessed the ball much better the second half not allow hardly any opportunities from Olathe North.  Anna Todd found Anna Herrin with a through ball in the 60th minute that Anna H.  promptly found the back of the net in the back post to give the Tigers some breathing room with a 2 nil lead.  The Tigers finished it out with no real threats in the second half.  The defense of Haylea Mikuls, Brooke Hagel, Jacey Eastham, Britta Fahler, Hunter Myers, and Ella Palmer was solid in preserving the win and only allowing 2 shots on goal the entire 80 minutes.  Lexi Palacio was credited with the win and shutout.  The Tigers are now 11-6 overall and headed to the regional final Thursday against Olathe East at their home field.
