Cair Paravel Latin girls soccer rode hat tricks from KellyAnn Chada and Avry Stafford to a 9-6 Class 4A-1A regional win over Mulvane in Tuesday's high-scoring affair.
“It was really good to get those passes and get those reps in for our next game,'' said Stafford, a junior. "I'm just excited that we can get to move on and play again.''
CPLS trailed early as Mulvane’s Brittani Peschel scored about five minutes into the match, one of her four goals in the game.
Then, the Lions would get on a roll and score four unanswered.
It started with freshman Avery Rosenow tying the match. Then, senior Chada would trade goals with Rosenow, scoring two apiece before in the first half, one of them Chada crossed to Rosenow as CPLS led 4-1 at halftime.
In that first half alone the Lions had five shots hit the goal post and six overall.
“It was crazy,” Cair Paravel coach Doug Woolery said. “I mean, I guess that stuff happens, you just don't see it that often in a game and I thought we had a couple that, one came off the crossbar and went down and it looked like by its bounce that might have been in, too, and then we had another one that they called a goal.
"We played them once before this season and played pretty well. I think my kids came out a little over confident. They have a good team, well-coached and No. 3 (Peschel) is a dynamic player.”
The second half is when the scoring barrage began, beginning with Stafford pushing the lead to 5-1 off another Chada assist.
The teams would eventually trade goal for goal until the Wildcats brought it to within two (6-4) off of two rebounds that led to goals.
CPLS would then get those two goals back with Chada and Stafford registering their hat tricks, making it an 8-4 contest.
Lions senior Karsyn Hastert scored the ninth goal off a short corner, cleaning up the rebound deep in the box.
Cair Paravel Latin will now play at No. 1 seed Hayden on Thursday at 4 p.m.
“We've played up to this point and we played as a team, so we just need to really work together and get those passes in and make the smart passes so that hopefully keeps them from scoring,” Stafford said.
“We’ve got to play a different ball game,'' Woolery said. "Hayden is riding high off an undefeated season and they’ve played some great competition. We’ve got to have a different gameplan and we’ve been working on that all week.
"We’re going to come out with an attitude of giving it the best we can. My girls love good competition and a good rival and Hayden is certainly that. It’s one and done and the girls heads are in the right spot.''
