Baylor vs Notre Dame

[chasanooga]

As I mentioned on another post this is a very special game to both of these schools not only because they are cross town rivals but 12 of these girls (11 seniors 1 junior) are team mates on their club team, East Ridge Express '91. The team is coached by Matt Yelton and they are reigning Premier League Champions. Because many of these girls have played upwards of 9 seasons together and have gone through the ups and downs of club play, these girls are very good friends and have a true affection for each other. More importantly the parents have all gotten along very well and this makes for a healthy and very respectful rivalry. Unfortunatley for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame the outcome has been decidely one way. I hope this game coming up is as thrilling as last year's game and we can get lucky and come away with a win!

Just a footnote: these 16 girls represent approximatley 40% of the teams combined roster,

7 girls ND and 9 girls Baylor based on 20 person roster (just a guess) for each team.

 

And for those of us who our parents of senior girls it is hard to believe that the years pass by so fast and that for many of us we are closing in on the final few months of our girls soccer careers. Good luck to all the girls this year especially those who are finishing up their careers.

Well said chasanooga. These girls have been together a long time and their friendships are special for sure. That senior season comes along way too fast no doubt. I am really looking forward to another Baylor Notre Dame game. This one should be a great game. I hope for an injury free game most of all ....and hope it will also be a thrilling game.....but hope for another Baylor victory!

Just a footnote: these 14 girls represent approximatley 35% of the teams combined roster,

6 girls ND and 8 girls Baylor based on 20 person roster (just a guess) for each team.

Yeah and it is good to see rivals during the high school season come together so beautifully on the club fields. From what I hear, Ciabatonnne no longer plays for ERSA. and in her place is the Junior Carissa Sanchez (Baylor) and Senior Josie Rix from GPS. My prediction is Big Red for +1 no matter the score. Woodfine can put a ball in the net when it counts although they mark her tight. Scales, Gawthrop and Sanchez can rocket them from far out. Should be one of the best games in town to watch. Definite advantage for Baylor to be played at home. Fans could get ugly though..... Time will tell.

No doubt most eyes in Chattanooga will be on this game. But if your bored Tues night and north of the county Soddy plays GPS, which should be a great game also. It's a good night for soccer in Chatt. town. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Baylor vs Notre Dame

Soddy vs GPS

CCS vs Cleveland

 

Should be three great games between six great soccer teams.

 

Really looking forward to Baylor-Notre Dame.

Final Score Baylor 3 - ND 1

 

Much more even game the the final score indicates.

Congratulations Baylor....keep it going!

[warriorsoccer9]

I was very impressed with Baylor last week against Riverdale and they just keep knocking off teams. Congratulations Red Raiders on your win tonight. Go Warriors!

[owlfutbol]

DonCChatt I can tell in your post how disappointed you are. I think you mentioned in an earlier post that this is your daughter's last year. But you guys have alot to play for in you division and maybe even state. You have to give Baylor alot of credit for sure. They are playing week in and week out the top teams in the state and keep on winning. Congratulations to Baylor and good luck to ND the rest of the way.

Great game by two exceptional teams. Baylor took advantage of their opportunites and made them count late. Coach Weekley missed a great game. He was sick and Coach Blair did a great job filling in. Congratulations Baylor and best of luck to Notre Dame the rest of the way.
