Saturday afternoon the Lady Warriors were pumped and ready to go as they hosted their last pre-season game against York College before the start of conference next week.
York and Sterling both came out hard in the first 20 minutes of the game but an unexpected lightning delay sent both teams inside for 25 minutes until everything passed. York College came back out ready to score and they did as a wet ball slipped through the hands of goalie, Paige Farmer putting York up 1-0 in just the 25th minute of the game. The Warriors fought back and were finally able to put one away just before half time as Karina Noah crossed a ball to an open and waiting Emily Gloshen on the back post. The teams went into half time 1-1.
As the second half started to wind down it began to look like the teams would have to go into overtime but the Warriors were not having that! Sophomore Anely Laguna slipped a thru-ball into Kylie Yates giving her the perfect opportunity to put one away for the Lady Warriors with just 2 minutes left to play. The Lady Warriors WON the game 2-1 over York now making their season standings 5-4.
The Lady Warriors head into conference on Saturday night against Tabor at 6pm in Hillsboro.

Tough Loss
Tuesday afternoon the Lady Warriors headed back down to Oklahoma in hopes of a WIN despite the two losses the state had previously handed over the Warriors just days before.
First half was evenly matched as NWOSU tested the Warriors defense and as the Warrior offense stuck together finding a few holes and taking some shots agains the NWOSU keeper. Late in the first half, keeper, Brittany Sieler, got hit in the face sending her off to the hospital to get stiches and leaving the goalie job to Paige Farmer. The Warriors ended the half at 0-0.
Despite the Warriors hopes the NWOSU put a goal away in the 57th minute, but like always senior Kylie Yates put one in the net to tie up the game with just 25 minutes left to play. A mistake by the Warrior defense in the 84th minute helped NWOSU put a goal and the game away, handing SC a 2-1 loss.
The Lady Warriors are now 4-4 in the season and host York College this Saturday at 2pm.

Losing Weekend
This weekend the Warrior soccer teams headed down to Oklahoma to take on back to back games Friday and Saturday afternoon.
Friday morning the bus headed out of Sterling south to Muskogee, Oklahoma where the first game against Bacone College would take place. After the long bus ride the Lady Warriors hopped off the bus looking for another win to tack onto their record. But the work of Bacone College ended up being just too much for SC. The Warriors started off slow and unorganized giving up three goals in the first half making half time quiet an event. Despite being down the Warriors came back with a vengeance as senior Kylie Yates put 2 goals in the back of the net to put the Lady Warriors on the board and back in the game. Although the Lady Warriors fought hard to come back, another goal (intended as a cross) by Bacone sealed the end of the game giving the Lady Warriors a 2-4 loss.
Saturday afternoon the SC bus headed to Bartlesville to the Oklahoma Wesleyan campus. The Lady Warriors hoped to look past their loss and to overcome Oklahoma Wesleyan. But yet again SC put themselves in a hole, ending half time down by 3. Yet again as the second half started the Lady Warriors had surge where senior Kylie Yates again put 2 points on the board giving the Warriors a ray of light as the 2nd half started winding down. Despite the late effort of the SC Warriors time wasn’t on their side as the game ended giving the Lady Warriors their second loss of the weekend 2-3.
The Warriors are now 4-3 overall and head back down to Oklahoma to face Northwestern Oklahoma on Tuesday evening.

Warriors over the OCU Eagles
With Warrior Fest games, food, and mingling behind them the Lady Warriors went after the Oklahoma Christian Eagles looking for their first home game win. The Warriors started off in a different line up with a more defensive mindset. But that didn’t stop the Eagle offense as they exposed the holes and took advantage of the new system the Warriors started with. The Eagles were able to put in a goal early in the first half but the Warriors didn’t back down. They held strong to their defense and kept the Eagles at 1 until halftime.
During halftime defensive issues were taken care of and the Warriors went back to their original 4-4-2 line up that everyone was more comfortable with.
With the line up back to normal the Warriors were all over the Eagles putting passes together and getting opportunities up front that they originally didn’t have in the first half. Finally a pass from Anely Laguna sent Kylie Yates through the Eagle defensive, beating the keeper and putting one away to get the Warriors on the board. With a point on the board the Lady Warriors kept up the intensity and fought hard giving Kylie Yates another the opportunity to once again beat the Eagle defense and drill one in the back of the net putting the Warriors on top 2-1. Despite many opportunities from the Eagle offensive they were unable to chalk up anymore goals giving the Lady Warriors their first home game win of the season.
Tuesday the Lady Warriors host Southwest Christian at 5pm

Warriors VS Tigers @ Central Christian College
Last night the Lady Warriors headed to McPherson to challenge the Central Christian Tigers and add a W to their season standings and they were able to do just that!
The Warriors came out strong and aggressively scoring in the first five minutes by Lacey Rhoades off a pass from fellow roommate and midfielder Tiffany Delgado. Just minutes later Kylie Yates put it to the Tigers again after a deflection from their goalie put the ball right at Kylie’s feet in front of a wide open goal. Although the Warriors couldn’t put anymore away in the first half they continued to control the ball and put pressure on the Tiger defense.
When half time hit the girls were excited and determined to go back out in the 2nd half and keep at the Tigers. The second half started a bit slower but within minutes the Warriors took control and moved the ball fluidly from the back to the front putting together different combinations getting everyone involved. With just 28 minutes left Morgan Martin hit a perfect thru ball to Kylie Yates and she buried it in the back of the net sealing the game at 3-0 WIN for the Lady Warriors.
This Saturday (September 11) Warrior Fest will be happening so head to downtown Sterling for all the festivities and make sure to pick up your Warrior gear at MR.Tee!
Below is a just a snapshot of the girls thus far!

Weekend Games
This weekend the Lady Warriors had back to back games against Avila University Friday afternoon and Manhattan Christian Saturday afternoon.
Friday was the home opener for the Lady Warriors 2010 season. The game started with quick pace and a heavy attack from Avila putting them up 2-0 in the first 30 min. But with the team work of Lacey Rhoads and Kylie Yates the warriors were able to put one on the board before the half was over. Going into the 2nd half the lady warriors knew they needed to pick up their defense and get things together with their offensive attack. But the Avila Eagles ended up being too much for the Lady Warriors as they scored 3 more goals finishing the game giving the Lady Warriors a 1-5 loss.
The girls didn't keep their heads down for long turning around on Saturday heading to Lindsborg to take on Manhattan Christian. The game started with the Warriors going against some strong wind and a packed in defense. Although the girls were able to take quiet a few hits at the goal half time score ended up 0-0. But with the wind at their backs, problems sorted out and some new subs on the field the Lady Warriors went at MC with some force. Kylie Yates scored for the Lady Warriors off a quick pass from Anely Laguna about 18 yards out. Although more shots were taken the Lady Warriors were unable to put any more points up ending the game with 1-0 win over the Manhattan Christian Crusaders.
Games continue this week for the Lady Warriors taking on Central Christian on Tuesday and Oklahoma Christian on Saturday. Hope to see you all there!
