Rest & Relaxation
We had hoped to be in West Virginia playing this weekend - Salem International cancelled our game (they didn't have enough players to have a game) therefore, the girls had a few hard practices (wed, thurs, and fri) followed by 2 days off... which is what they needed. This gave the girls some time to go home, catch up on work, and time to relax. The ladies returned Sunday night for a team bonding activity put on by LHU Athletics. Now it's back to practice - we have 2 days before our Mercyhurst game - which should be a tough one, we have a good chace to give them a run for their money. Mercyhurst is currently ranked 24th in the country - BUT on any given day these things change, that's the beauty of Lock Haven ... we will put up a fight and come away with a win, all we have to do is BELIEVE!

Kutztown and Slippery Rock - Games 8 & 9
Real quick note to get caught up:
Game vs Kutztown was a tale of 2 halfs - we had a few outstanding performances and moments of greatness but when all was said and done we came out with a loss, 3-2 - enough said... we need to be better together, we would have some great connections but if we can not connect the ball to the back of the net it doesn't count.
Two days later we traveled to Slippery Rock for an afternoon game, and once again we couldn't finish the ball. Our defense played VERY WELL collectively and individually. In net both Katie Smithmyer and Hayley Zinn saw some time - @ half we were down 2-0 and that's how the game ended. The second half we controlled much of the possession; Arielle had a few good opportunities - however, Slippery Rock managed to hold on to their win.

Welcome to our new site
Hello all -
As you can see we have changed locations. This site will be used for the same purpose as our original blog site, however, it is more advanced and will allow me to post pictures etc on the site. I hope to update it from my blackberry when we travel to away matches, therefore the posts will be quicker for those parents, alum, and fans that can not attend the games. Happy Reading!

Game 6 - vs UPJ
September 16th, 2008
Game vs. UPJ
A great win for us, although it is not a PSAC win it is a regional win…. It also is a win at home on a VERY long week for us.
SOOO I’m tired and want to summarize quickly:
We had a great game and played good soccer, Arielle had a goal in the first two minutes of the game which was placed far post and sailed over the keepers head. With just over 11 minutes left in the first half Melinda was able to finish a great play which started with Brittany Cranmer in the midfield. Brittany played the ball out to Jen Williams on the right midfield who cut inside and beat the GK with an amazing service/shot. Melinda was able to then finish the ball into the back of the net putting Haven up 2-0 at half. Once again, as in the Edinboro game, 2-0 is NOT a safe score…. We were playing great but UPJ was still in it.
In the second half UPJ definitely showed they weren’t going away, their GK had some good saves and their midfielders were putting some major pressure on our team. UPJ looked like an entirely different team and LHU was still playing some great soccer, with just 10 seconds left in regulation and after NUMEROUS 1 on 1 attempts and amazing runs Melinda Dodson came up with her second goal of the night heading the ball into the back of the net after a UPJ defender was able to save her initial shot. Although we were already up by 2 Melinda’s goal was a sigh of relief and definitely got the “monkey off her back” as coach Davis would say.
Great way to start the first of three home games… this week is going to be taxing on our players and with some injuries and bruises our practices and rehab schedule will play a vital role in how we do the next two games…. With that aside our soccer has gotten better and I can not be more excited about where Haven Soccer is going, the definition of what we stand for and the quality of the soccer that we have proven that we can play.
Check back Wednesday night or Thursday morning for a recap of the Clarion game which will be played Wednesday at 6pm.

Game 5 @ Edinboro
September 16th, 2008
Game vs. Edinboro
What a great trip Edinboro turned out to be… after our “wonderful” bus ride up to Edinboro we woke up well rested… well some of us at least.
It was raining from the first whistle to the last… we went into the game with high intensity and it proved to be rewarding.
The first half of the game was dominated by Lock Haven. However, Edinboro had their fair share of chances forcing freshmen goalkeeper Kim Bentley (who was given her first start) to come up with some HUGE 1 on 1 saves. The first goal of the match came with 20 minutes left in the first half… Sophomore Arielle Gordon made an amazing weak side run and finished a slotted ball near post, placing it just past the Edinboro GK. Neather team let down, but with just over 2 minutes left Caitlyn Slattery (Sophomore transfer) took a free kick from our own 40 yard line. The ball was served into Bree Orth who found a hole in the defense and laid the ball off to Arielle Gordon; beating past a defender and going 1 on 1 with the GK, striking net again! LHU went into half up 2-0…. For those of you who don’t know soccer this is NOT a secure score…not at all..
Coming into the second half rain still pouring down, the girls were still fired up. Within 10 minutes LHU’s captain, Lindsey Blessing, took a corner kick sending the ball into the 6 yard box where freshmen forward Bree Orth was able to head the ball into the back of the net! If you weren’t there you should have been because it was GEORGEOUS! Perfect corner to a perfect header sent to the back of the net, the GK had no chance. Edinboro never let down, they continued to pressure and with the help of Rachel Dahlstrand, a sophomore transfer from WVU, Edinboro was able to beat LHU’s defense and score with just over 14 minutes left. Many accolades should be given to Edinboro, the final minutes consisted of a constant pressure, much of the time being spent in LHU’s half of the field. Our defense proved to be too much, and Lock Haven came out on top, 3-1. The game gave a great sense of relief, the team played great individual soccer but even better TEAM soccer for 90 straight minutes never missing a beat. This was not only a big PSAC win for us but it was also the first time in 4 years that we have won AT Edinboro!

Travel to Edinboro!!
September 12th, 2008
Travel Day!!!
Just arrived in Meadville, PA on our way to Edinboro for what looks to be a battle tomorrow at 1pm.
The trip seemed like forever and I was introduced to the wonderful world of Hoss’s. We had practice from 2-4 and jumped on the bus at 4:30pm. Next we got stuck in some wonderful I-80 traffic where we moved 5 miles in an hour… yeah not happy about that…. Eventually we stopped @ Hoss’s for dinner and then finally arrived at our hotel (Days Inn) at 10:15pmish…
We are looking forward to getting back on the field tomorrow and getting a win on the road. Today’s practice looked good and felt good after a full day off and a light practice on Wednesday.
I’m exhausted…. So it’s time for bed. … check in late tomorrow for results and a quick recap…
GOOD NIGHT!!!

Games 3 and 4
September 12th, 2008
Okay sooo I’m not so great at this keeping upage of the BLOG… but I PROMISE I will get better because some of the girls seem to enjoy picking on me for it.
So lets get up to speed. Since Game 2 we have had it a little rough losing both to IUP and Cal. First IUP….
It seems to be known that we don’t do quite well at IUP… we were hoping to change that, but we were unable to overcome the many factors that contributed to the game. The trip down there went smoothly and we felt good…. The first half was a tough one - going down 3-0 by half. Shortly after their goal our center back Caitlyn Slattery was injured and unable to return to the game, adding to the confusion on defense was their impressive offensive attack. The second goal came off a cross and beat Hayley Zinn (who started her third collegiate game) far post. The third goal of the half came off a through ball that snuck behind the defense and placed in the back of the net… far post. Coming off the field at half our backs were against the wall - how do we change it around? We didn’t feel like we were out of it…. The second half was an entirely different story, our team was driven and focused. Kim Bentley lead the team by coming up with some critical saves. Being a “retired” GK I know the pressures of stepping into a game with a quick warm-up and some shoes to fill. Lindsey Blessing and Angie Rineer played HUGE roles in the second half - shutting down their midfield and adding to our attack. Unfortunately those offensive chances weren’t finished… but that half of soccer was GREAT!!! Coming off the field the girls were frustrated but it was a good thing - they realized that they can play that way but it needs to be 90 min of great soccer rather than just 45... The game ended 3-0 in IUP’s favor… but the bar was set.
Ride home was smooth thanks to Coach Davis’s wonderful sense of direction, believe me without her we may have been in WV.
Now the Cal game…
We started off the way we finished the IUP game, coming out hard and ready to fight. Going down by 1 goal with 32min left in the first half but Freshmen Bree Orth scored an AMAZING goal off a long range shot tying up the game 1-1 at half. Bree’s goal was CRAZY GOOD!!! (I was extremely impressed). The first half was great soccer but the second half was a different story. Cal came into the half pressing and finishing opportunities and we weren’t able to convert our scoring chances… we went down 2 then 3 and lastly 4.… we ended the game 4-1, but it certainly didn’t feel like a 4-1 loss. Kim Bentley (who had her first collegiate start) had a great game making some key 1 on 1 saves that kept us in the game from the beginning of the game to the end. Caitlyn Slattery stepped back into the swing of things and left it all on the field… as did numerous members of the team.
We left both games with a number of positives but also some things that we are excited to improve on in our game vs. Edinboro tomorrow…. 9/13/2008.

Game 2
September 3rd, 2008
What a long trip! After a bright and early wake up both the men’s and women’s teams loaded up the bus and headed to Erie, PA (a four hour bus ride), headed for Gannon University.
The game was a very hard fought battle. The first half was back and forth but after a few bumps and bruises Gannon scored on an offensive attack with just over 5 min remaining. However, Kellie Wieger came back to bite. Less than 2 min later she scored, catching the GK off her line and placed the ball in the back of the net! It was awesome soccer… smart soccer… and she was able to capitalize. Gannon wasn’t going into halftime like that, they scored two consecutive goals in the last 2 minutes moving up on Lock Haven 3-1. It was a disappointing last few minutes, but overall we played well. Gannon found some holes and were able to capitalize.
The second half was again back and forth, we changed our attack and used our subs to the full advantage. It was HOT out there! With about 31 minutes left Lock Haven gave up another goal, this time off a free kick. We were down 4-2. The thing about Haven Soccer is that we take PRIDE in the way we play, this means the ENTIRE 90 MINUTES!!! The girls didn’t give up, Heidi Weller was given a diagonal ball which she used to streak down the outside and bury the ball into the back of the net. The remaining time of the second half was us trying to find the holes in the Gannon defensive and capitalize on any opportunities…. We had momentum, but time ran up. 4-2 loss….
Despite the disappointing overall score we were quite happy with the individual performances we had. Alissa Gamelier had an AMAZING game, in my time here at LHU I haven’t seen her play with the bite and intensity she brought to the game. Our goals came off of Heidi and Kellie, who both played great and stepped into their roles by finding holes in the defense and capitalized on them. Hayley Zinn had a good game stepping into her second start for LHU and was challenged from the start of the game to the end of it, making 13 saves!
When I was introduced to the PSAC and the schedule I instantly said that it was CRAZY to play every team twice… now I can’t wait to get Gannon here at LHU, revenge will be even sweeter. Both teams were evenly matched and we really competed, but Gannon came out on top this time… next time it will hopefully be a different story.
Thursday we have a day off so it will allow our players the opportunity to get ice, rehab, and get ready for a game on Saturday, 2pm @ IUP.
SIDE NOTE: Sorry this was posted later than originally intended, I’m new at this J

Preseason through Game 1
Preseason through Game 1
September 2, 2008
Hey All!
Welcome to the Lock Haven Women’s Soccer Blog, this is the first time that I (assistant coach Kim Fish) will be operating this site– I will try to update it after each game, as well as, provide weekly updates. We (the coaching staff) feel that it will be a great tool for the parents, fans, alum, etc. to keep an eye on the team especially for away games that you all may not be able to attend. Please check back for new entries daily and come out and support Haven Soccer!!!
Quick Recap of the season thus far:
We are extremely excited for this season not only do we have 14 returning players but we also have brought in 12 amazing freshmen that have added a huge dynamic to the team. Preseason started on August 14th, 2008, which consisted of fitness testing, and a LOT of practice/playing. The new faces proved to be a good addition and have given so much energy to the team. Luckily we did not run into any huge injuries just the typical bumps and bruises that 16 days of two-a-days (sometimes three-a-day) practices can bring.On the last day of preseason we scrimmaged Bloomsburg, after the first half the score remained 0-0. However, the second half proved to be too much as we fell 2-1 to the Huskies. Despite the loss the game was a great match up for both teams. It gave our young players an opportunity to get out the butterflies of playing in their first college game and allowed the veterans a chance to knock the rust off from the summer.
SIDE NOTE:Being part of Haven soccer brings: hard work, dedication, trials, tribulations, and triumph. However, what I have learned in my first fall season with the team is that along with all of the above are also, TEAM TAILGATES!! The parents’ cooking is amazing and I am sooooo grateful that I get some home cooking! ?
After the scrimmage, the girls were given some time to adjust to the school setting and getting settled into their new routine before we were back to the daily grind. With our home opener the prep for the first game was vital and proved to be successful.
Our first game came on September 1st, 2008 vs. Sheperd. The first half was a little tough on us with many of our scoring opportunities going unfinished. The second half proved to be a bit more rewarding with a goal coming off a corner by Lindsey Blessing. The corner, which was originally played short, was sent back to Blessing who sent the ball into the far post where Caitlyn Slattery capitalized on the opportunity by placing a header into the back of the net. For those of you who weren’t able to make the game you missed an AMAZING goal!
We had a light practice today in preparation for our game on the road at a new PSAC west opponent, Gannon University.
Our trip looks like this:
8am departure from LHU4 hour trip to Gannon (Erie area)2 pm game time4pm men’s gameBack on the road11pm(ish) return to school
Wish us luck and check back shortly after the game and hopefully I will be able to update the site for some notes on the outcome of our game!
