Starlight 8 – Weequahic 0

The girls’ second round game saw Weequahic visit Alumni Field in what proved to be a fairly one-sided contest. Right from the first whistle Weequahic struggled to deal with Starlight’s offensive game and really found it difficult to mount any serious attacks. Starlight subsequently found themselves in and around their opponent’s 18 yard box for most of the game which resulted in numerous goal scoring opportunities. The final result saw Starlight run out winners by the score of 8-0.

Starlight 2 – Westmont 0

The boys made their now regular annual trip to Westmont in the first round of the tournament. Last year the affair was settled on penalty kicks after extra-time, and at first it seemed as though this game would also go the distance. Starlight enjoyed a great deal of possession but found little success in the final third in front of goal. Weiss controlled the back line very well with Rothberg playing the stopper position and making a number of important challenges in front of goal. Kessler and Spar rounded out the back four playing some nice passes out of the back. Kahn and Lurie did a fantastic job in the middle of the park, with Simon and Baim continually making runs out wide. Up top Jaffe, Bash and Gallant took on Westmont’s back four giving them very little time on the ball. The first half, while dominated possession-wise by Starlight, ended 0-0. The second half was interrupted twice by thunder and lightning and meant that the game lasted for more than two hours including breaks. However, before the initial delay Lurie broke from midfield and from 25 yards out lashed a shot into the upper left corner of the goal. Westmont pressed for a goal and Starlight looked comfortable, although there was always a chance for Westmont as their strong midfield always looked dangerous. The game was effectively ended as a contest with about four minutes to go when Gallant beat the goalkeeper to the ball on the edge of the box knocking the ball past him into an open net. A great result which sees the 8th graders march into the second round and maintain their perfect soccer record since they first kicked a ball as 4th graders.

Starlight 5 – Westmont 0

The 8th graders made light work of a Westmont team that they previously met in 2010 and beat 5-0. Brisman in goal had very little to do and the back line of Zwal, Finkle, Mehlman and Wachsman completed a very professional job in regards to any attacks that Westmont presented. Godel, Steiner, Hirsch, Dratch and Abrams competed very well in midfield, with Saltzman, Scherl and Lisser running at Westmont’s back four repeatedly throughout the game. Sherl had a couple of fine goals following some long runs from midfield. Godel continually ran the flank crossing the ball for the forwards to attack. The girls took a 3-0 lead in at half-time, and the second half followed a similar pattern to the first. The final score was once again 5-0 in Starlight’s favor, and the 8th graders continue on looking to go one better than last year’s second place in the tournament.

Girls 9^th Grade Soccer (A)

Starlight 2 – Westmont 3

The 9th graders made their annual trip to Westmont in the first round of the WCCA tournament. A much improved Westmont side controlled a great deal of the opening play and took an early one goal lead. Westmont enjoyed the majority of the possession but to their credit, Starlight plugged away and did not give complete control of the game to their opponents. A strong team defensive display meant that the half-time score remained 1-0 and following a few position changes, the girls started the second half with a view to imposing themselves on the Westmont midfield area. Schmueli had a fantastic game in goal, making a one-handed save that wouldn’t have looked out of place in the MLS. The back line included Rosenblum, Green, Cohen and Weinrauch, and for long periods they held strong making some fine tackles in Starlight’s defensive third of the field. The midfield five of Strauss, Breakstone, Rizika, Lisser and Gaier played extremely well, particularly in the second half, and up top Saunders made some fine forward runs and linked up well with Rizika. The girls fought back from one behind to go two-one up, the second coming from some accomplished interplay between Saunders and Rizika. Unfortunately a lapse in concentration allowed Westmont to level the game with 15 minutes remaining. With just a couple of minutes of regulation time remaining, Breakstone lined up a thirty yard free-kick and fired against the cross-bar. Starlight’s forwards followed in the effort but were unable to bundle what would have surely been the game winner over the line. In over-time Westmont managed to steal a third goal, but Starlight continued to press until the final whistle. The final score was 3-2 in Westmont’s favor and this was the first loss since the girls first pulled on the blue and white as juniors. The Westmont celebrations reinforced how relieved they were to finally beat Starlight at the sixth attempt, but the 9th graders showed their previous championship qualities by continuing to play for the win when many teams would have buckled. A disappointing loss for everyone concerned but the manner truly reflected just how hard this particular group of girls play for each other.
