Marshall Girls Soccer

Marshall @ Jackson NorthwestMarshall traveled to Jackson Northwest (NW) High School for an I-8 Conference girls soccer match-up Wednesday evening.  NW battled extremely hard all night, but Marshall eventually prevailed by a 5-0 scoreline. Marshall's lone goal of the 1st half came when Ollie Rozell scored an "Olimpico".  She scored directly from a corner kick without anyone else touching it. The ball went over the goalkeeper's head and bent into the far post netting.   NW was very physical and focused on getting numbers behind on the ball.  They focused on making it difficult for Marshall to generate quality chances.  After halftime, Marshall was a little more effective at creating chances and definitely more effective at converting them.  Rozell struck again after Lillian Moore got her head to an Alaina Hoffman cross.  The deflected ball bounced into the box and Rozell beat the keeper to the ball and chipped it over the on-rushing

Softball at Holt

Redhawks Softball 5/8 Game 1 Marshall 7, Holt 1Layne Churchill dominated in the circle for the Redhawks. She scattered just 4 hits, giving up 1 run, and striking out 7. She was able to get Holt out 1,2,3 in order from the 2nd inning through the 6th inning which was huge. Offensively Brooke Carden just continues to be on an absolute tear. She collected 3 more hits, with 2 doubles and an rbi. Gwen Beach, Churchill, and Brielle Kelly also doubled. We put enough pressure on them each inning and found some different ways to score, which was nice to see. Game 2 Marshall 5, Holt 1Claire Kelly had her best stuff of the season, going the distance and striking out 12!  She shut down every chance Holt had for a big inning by working ahead and using her rise ball, which was very effective. She helped her own cause by going 2-3 at the plate with a rbi. Brooke Carden was at it again going 2-3 with 3 stolen bases and a double. Brooke is hitting .569 on the year, putting up all-state nu

Boys Varsity Soccer vs. Plainwell High School

Marshall Varsity Boys Soccer With Tough Loss to Plainwell

Marshall hosted Plainwell for a boys soccer match Saturday afternoon at Marshall High School and was defeated by the Trojans by a 2-0 score. A strong Plainwell team, regional finalist last fall and currently with only one loss on the season, was too much in the end for Marshall, but Marshall fought gamely. In a well-played first half, Marshall and Plainwell traded chances and while Plainwell found the net twice to take a 2-0 lead into halftime, the margin was razor thin as Marshall created some very quality chances and played some very effective attractive soccer. In the second half, Marshall seemed to run out of gas a little bit.  The 3rd game of the week and the heavy emotional investment in Thursday, I-8 Conference win at Hastings, seemed to take their toll.  Marshall didn't have the same energy in the half and Plainwell certainly carried more of the play throughout the 2nd half.  Although chances were fewer and further between for M

Marshall Boys Varsity Soccer Remains Undefeated in the 1-8

The Marshall Boys Soccer team traveled to Hastings yesterday for an I-8 Conference matchup.  Marshall prevailed by a 3-2 score to move to 3-0-0 in league play and remain in position to challenge for a league title. Marshall played well and, despite a few quality scoring chances, was unable to find the net in the opening half.  The teams went to halftime tied at 0-0. After the scoreless first half, the second half was an offensive explosion.  Marshall played some of their best soccer of the year in the second half putting together some very fluent attacking combinations.  The improved play paid off when Carson Clapper won a ball in the Marshall defensive half and played a square pass to Jaxon Weitting.  Weitting maneuvered around two Hastings defenders to get space out wide and delivered a ball up the wing and behind the Hastings defense to Ronnie Gill.  Gill collected the ball, cut inside the Hastings centerback and wrong-footed th

Marshall Boys Varsity Soccer Maintains Perfect Start to I-8 League Season

The Marshall Boys Soccer Team hosted Jackson Northwest (NW) in an I-8 Conference Match-up Tuesday evening at Marshall High School.  Marshall came away 2-0 winners to maintain a perfect start to the league season. Marshall struck early with 2 goals in the opening 10 minutes.  Inside of a minute, Ivan Egnatuk won a tackle deep inside the NW half.  The ball squirted to Ronnie Gill at the top of the box.  Gill wiggled through 2 NW defenders and laid an inviting ball off to Rowdy Joseph about 15 yards from goal.  Joseph gladly accepted the invite and steered the ball into the back of the net to give Marshall an early 1-0 lead.  Marshall built upon that lead when Ben Baker connected a pass to Joseph near the top of the NW box.  Joseph scooped a ball over the NW backline and into the path of the on-rushing Ivan Egnatuk.  Egnatuk lunged to meet the ball in the air and successfully connected with the ball, guiding the ball into th

Marshall Boys Varsity Soccer Victorious over Parma Western in First Conference Game of the Year

Marshall traveled to Parma this evening for the opening I-8 Conference match of the year and came away with a hard fought, but well deserved, 2-1 victory.After finishing the weekend with a tie against Mason (ranked #7 in D2 in the state of Michigan), Marshall was hoping to really build some momentum.  Early in the match, Marshall may have been a little too amped up.  Despite the beginnings of some very promising plays, Marshall was plagued by poor unforced turnovers and blown defensive assignments.  One of those turnovers resulted in the opening goal.  After a Marshall turnover, the Western forward unleashed a 25 yard thunderbolt that left Marshall goalkeeper, John Meyer, with no chance.  So, early in the match, Marshall was 1-0 down even though the goal was very much against the run of play.  The goal seemed to help Marshall settle in though as the rest of the half featured much sharper play from the Redhawks.  They created n
