Lady Wave out-hustled in soccer loss

By George Starks

GREENVILLE - “It just wasn’t our day.”

Those were the words of Lady Wave soccer coach Pete Ziehler after the Lady Wave fell to Brookville Monday, 9-1, in a home soccer scrimmage.

“We’ve played better,” Ziehler added. “I’m not disappointed in the least with the girls. A couple of goals shouldn’t have happened but they did. We’ve played this team before and beat them.”

The lone goal for the Wave came on a penalty kick off the foot of junior Aubry DeVoss with 3:03 remaining.

“Every little aspect of the game of soccer has to be worked on,” said Ziehler. “Tonight, out lone goal came off a penalty kick from our best finisher. There are a lot of things we need to tighten up on and we are going to get better. We are coming off a good season last year and the GWOC is aware of us this year. Like I said, this was a scrimmage and it’s out of my mind except for the things we need to work on.”

In a 9-1 loss, many things could be seen that need improvement.

Ziehler pointed out the top three.

“We need to work a little bit more on conditioning,” Ziehler said. “We are low on numbers and at times it could fatigue us. It’s not that our girls are going to be outplayed right now but come October, it’s going to be tough when it gets colder and we start cramping up.

“We need to work on marking but that is with any team. The best team in the state will have to work on marking at this point of the season. The third thing is we have to learn to adjust to new positions. We had a couple of injuries that will change the focus of the season so we will have some people in different positions. We lost six seniors last year so we are a young team. Half of our team is under-classmen, so we will be all right.”

The Wave will travel to Miami East on Wednesday to battle the Vikings in another scrimmage.
