Parkview Senior striker Shelby Stewart (alliteration!) is this week’s KSPR Player of the Week. Shelby is currently tied for first on the team with 3 assists, and third on the team with 3 goals. Check out the video below.

The Lady Vikings went on the road to Lebanon on Thursday night, and won 3-0. This was Parkview’s second Ozark Conference match, making the Vikings 2-0 in the Conference, and 5-0 overall.

The first goal of the match was scored by Jessica Maerz after beating two defenders and putting the ball over the keeper’s head with 2 minutes left in the first half.

Shelby Stewart used her speed to beat a defender and put the ball by the keeper 3 minutes into the second half, and played a ball into the corner that Maerz ran on to and put the ball in the lower 90 for the 3-0 lead.

Caylin Manary made a great save to keep Lebanon scoreless, earning the shutout in goal. Manary leaped as high as she could and tipped the ball over the crossbar.

The Vikings will play a Varsity only match against Greenwood on Friday, with a kickoff time of 4:30pm.

In case you missed it, KSPR was at Tuesday’s win over Rolla, and caught all three goals on video.

The Rolla Daily News also had a bit to say about the game.

Goals were scored by Kelsey Loderhose (2) and Shelby Stewart, with Jessica Maerz and Stewart picking up an assist each as well. See below for the full write-up of Tuesday’s game.

The Parkview Lady Vikings beat Rolla 3-1 on Tuesday, in their first Ozark Conference match of the season. The Vikings’ record now stands at 4-0.

Kelsey Loderhose got the scoring started, getting one from pure hard work (and an assist from Shelby Stewart), and a second off a great set-piece cross from Jessica Maerz. After a foul on the right side of the field (almost out of bounds) and 35 yards out, Maerz floated a ball to the far post, and Loderhose ran on for the finish. Loderhose also played Stewart a through ball that Stewart was able to finish, and Rolla got one of their own to make it 3-1 at half, the eventual final score.

The Lady Vikings won their third in as many games, beating Rogersville. The offense got started when Kelsey Loderhose found a loose ball in the box and placed into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. Alex Shupert scored her first career Varsity goal when the ball rebounded out to 18 and she put it upper 90. The game was 3-0 at half after Loderhose scored on an assist from Melanie Allen.

The Viking defense held their own, as sweeper Aubrey Durst (freshmen) and outside back Amy Greene (freshmen) continue to show improvement game to game, and juniors Holly Messick and Anna Withers continue their consistent, reliable play.

Jessica Maerz started the second half out with an early goal (assist by Shelby Stewart), and after Rogersville picked up one of their own from a corner kick, the game ended at 4-1.

The JV Vikings were well matched by their Rogersville opponents, and the match eventually ended in a 1-1 tie. The Viking defense gave up a couple scoring opportunities, the first was finished well by a Rogersville attacker, and the second was saved by a diving Maddie George. The score at halftime was 0-1, Rogersville.

The second half was completely dominated by the Vikings, and they did not give up a single scoring opportunity the entire half. Anna Bingham, Carsen Miller, Sydnie Pilkinton held down back line as the Vikings made an offensive push, only playing three in the back. Kourtney Pruitt and Emily Courtney controlled the flow of the offense from the outside mid positions at times for Parkview, who were able to get a goal when Courtney beat a defender before slotting the ball near-post of the keeper with 4 minutes left for the 1-1 tie.

The Parkview Vikings beat the Nixa Eagles in a both team’s first District 11 game of the season. The match was scoreless throughout the first 80 minutes, before going to 20 minutes of scoreless overtimes, and heading to Penalty Kicks. Keeper Caylin Manary earned her 2nd shutout in as many games.

The first half was a bit of a struggle for the Vikings, as Nixa dominated the majority of the possession for the first 40 minutes of play. Parkview was able to keep their composure, and team defended quite well, only allowing a few legitimate scoring opportunities. The young PHS defense held it’s own, anchored by freshmen Aubrey Durst and Amy Greene, and juniors Holly Messick and Anna Withers.

In the second half, the Viking’s offense showed up to pull their weight. Mckenzi Payton held down the middle of the field, as Jessica Maerz and Molly Robb worked hard to create scoring opportunities. The ability of the offense to hold the ball an even amount and put pressure on the Eagle’s defenders helped keep Parkview in the game.

After a tired and scoreless overtime, the match went to Penalty Kicks. All five Parkview shooters scored their shots from the mark: Mckenzi Payton, Shelby Stewart, Aubrey Durst, Jessica Maerz, and Kelsey Loderhose (in order). Loderhose’s shot was the winner, after Nixa’s #4 kicker missed her shot off the crossbar.

Nixa 1st shooter: Scored (1-0)
Mckenzi Payton: Scored (1-1)
Nixa 2nd shooter: Scored (2-1)
Shelby Stewart: Scored (2-2)

The Parkview Lady Vikings opened their season on Friday night with a 7-0 win over Carthage. The Vikings’ potent offense picked up where they left off last year, anchored by mainstays Shelby Stewart and Jessica Maerz. Maerz scored and had an assist, and Stewart scored as well. Kelsey Loderhose picked up two of her own, and Mckenzi Payton dominated the midfield for the majority of the game, getting into the offense as well by hammering in a ball that came out of the box on a misclear.

While the Vikings were clearly lead by their seniors and a few key juniors, the freshmen were able to get into the mix as well. Aubrey Durst and Amy Greene both started on the back line and held their own quite well, and Emily Courtney played solid at outside mid for the injured Melanie Allen. Senior keeper Caylin Manary picked up the shutout in goal.

Steve Olson of www.sgfsoccer.com was at the game, and wrote up a report of his own. It’s always good to get extra press, so thank Steve for coming when you see him at games (he’ll be the one on the sidelines holding a camera, and most likely walking around barefoot when it warms up). For those that don’t know, “Ole” is the reason we have a website, and the only consistent, reliable, midwest soccer news source around.

Scoring Summary: Kelsey Loderhose 2g, Jessica Maerz 2g 1a, Shelby Stewart 2g, Mckenzi Payton 1g Caylin Manary shutout.

The Junior Varsity squad won their opener 5-0, with four different people getting into the scoring action. After hammering the goal for the first half, Amanda Leckrone received a forty yard pass from Marissa Deffenbaugh, and was able to score with a few minutes left to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead. Leckrone was later able to score again, as was Mary Langebartel, Alex Shupert, and Keyuna Mays. Maddie George earned the shutout in the net.
