The Shawano Community High School girls soccer team wasn’t shut out in Saturday’s soccer invitational at Green Bay East.
Despite not scoring a goal in regulation, the Hawks earned a 1-0 win over the tournament host. However, the win was sandwiched by two losses.
Shawano opened with a 2-1 loss to Eau Claire North. Morgan Klitzke scored Shawano’s lone goal and tied the game at 1-1. North scored the game-winning goal in regulation.
Carlie Hinnefeld had nine saves for Shawano.
Against Green Bay East, Hinnefeld rejected all four shots she faced in regulation and was an integral part of the game requiring extra play.
“We each had scoring chances in the game,” Shawano coach Robert Croschere said. “But we went to penalty kicks when regulation ended, because of the tournament setup.”
The Hawks got the edge in the shootout, therefore claiming the win without scoring an official goal. Teagan Monfils, Megan Klitzke, Morgan Klitzke, Louisa Keenan and Colleen McFarlane scored shootout goals to give Shawano a 5-3 advantage in the extra play.
With two games complete and several weeks remaining in the season, Croschere decided to rest several players in the Hawks’ third game. They faced New London, which was winless in Bay Conference competition entering the tournament.
The Bulldogs took advantage of Shawano’s lineup shuffle and defeated the Hawks 4-0. Madelyn Rabideau had five saves for the Hawks, who have a rematch on the horizon.
“New London was just the final game and I rested a lot of players,” Croschere said. “We will have to face them again Thursday for a conference game and I expect a different result.”
Shawano’s record moved to 5-6-2 overall, 2-1-2 in the Bay.
