Angels throw a defensive blanket over Webster's ace Maddie Pokorney.
The way the soccer season ended for Webster Groves is not what the Statesmen had hoped for. Played before a very large crowd on a very hot day, Webster was mauled by the Angels, 4-0, losing the title game of Class 3, District 8. No matter, Websters’ squad left Frontenac with their heads held high. They played in the rarified air of a 22-3-1 season. “Every team ends the season with a crushing loss, other than the eventual state champion,” said Webster’s coach Chris Allen. “If you’d told me we’d have that kind of record, I would have told you, you are crazy.” Webster soared to new heights. This was their first game contested for the district title since the 1990 season. They recorded the most wins in school history and beat Kirkwood for the …

2 goals for Kaley Nieters in the second half. Angels face either Webster or Nerinx in the finals Wednesday,
There are differences between St. Joe and Ursuline Academy soccer teams. For one, St. Joe does not have to play its freshman goal keeper; Ursuline does. Ursuline freshman keeper Jaime Spath was tested early and often and the Angels peppered the Bear nets for a relatively easy 6-2 district semifinal win. The Angels have a fine freshman themselves in Rosie Breheny, but they start with sophomore Kelsey Ponder who has more experience. The win sets up the Angels (15-2) against Webster Groves, 1-0 winner over Nerinx Hall. The Angels-Webster game will be played on the Angels' home turf Wednesday at 4 o’clock. Hot or cold, sunny or not, the Angels keep on rolling. Six different attackers scored in the home win. Kaley Nieters notched a key second-…

While Katie Karl and Katie Prosperi get double teammed, Robinson nets 5 big goals.
The Westminster Wildcats' strategy was to stop St. Joe high scoring tandem Katie Karl and Katie Prosperi. That left an opening for junior Abbey Robinson and she stepped up. She rammed home 3 goals with the Angels crusing to a 16-11 home victory over Westminster before the rains came. Lot's of action shots on the Ladue-Frontenac Facebook page. "We still have areas in which to improve but we are looking forwared to the rest of the season and a strong finish," said Angels' coach Jen Bisch. With the win, St. Joe is 10-3 while Westminster tumbled to 4-8. Still Karl and Prosperi could not be contained. Karl had 4 goals and Prosperi added 5 to her total. For the season, Katie Karl leads St. Joe in productivity with 40 goals, 18 assists for 58 …

Announced for Iowa State, this junior forward leads St. Joe in scoring and assists.
Kaley Nieters is this week's Ladue-Frontenac-Olivette MVP "Athlete of the Week." She got great voting support from the St. Joseph's Academy school community. Nieters has 7 goals, 6 assists for 20 points and the Angels, who just defeated Cor Jesu are 8-1. They won their division of the St. Louis Classic last weekend. This is what Nieters had to say to Patch: Patch.com: How has your season progressed? Kaley Nieters: I think our season is off to a great start. We have been coming out firing, scoring early and often and not allowing many. I believe that everyone on my team has something to contribute and we have worked well as a unit. I hope our success continues and I am excited for the rest of this season because I think we are going to go…

St. Joe, MICDS and Ladue playing strong. Villa and Burroughs just getting going.
We’ve reached the midway point of the high school soccer team, so time to look at the results. St. Joseph’s Academy (7-1) The weather prevailed, for a change, and the Angels won the Green Division of the St. Louis Classic (sponsored by St. Joe) at the Lou Fusz soccer complex over the weekend. The Angels defeated Cedarburg, WI 5-1, routed Parkway South 6-0 Saturday and won Friday night over Shawnee Mission East, KS 2-0. This was a big weekend for scorers Haley Kavanaugh and Kaley Nieters (candidate for Patch MVP this week). Angels defender Nina Simon suffered an apparent head injury in the Parkway South game, and might be sidelined for some time. This week, the Angels go to Cor Jesu Wednesday, host Visitation Academy Thursday and then host …
