On Thursday night at Bellbrook High School, the Lady Beavers defeated St. Ursula Academy to claim the district soccer championship.

The hard-fought battle between top seed from Dayton and the top seed from Cincinnati was decided in typical fashion for the Beavers, as they defended well and scored on two of their most consistent plays all year. The first goal occurred just 35 seconds into the game. Erin Gill placed a corner kick in front of the goal that both teams fought for. In the scrum, Kelly Mayhew drove the ball by the keeper and into the back of the net. After SUA tied the score late in the first half on a free kick, the Beavers came out determined to start the second half. Erin Gill headed in one of Micaela Powers’ huge throws to give the Beavers a 2-1 lead, which they held on to for the win.

This is Creek’s (girls) first district title since 2006. The ladies travel to Lakota East on Wednesday to take on Milford in the regional semi-finals.

Central Division Coach of the Year: John Guiliano

All Dayton South Coach of the Year: John Guiliano

The regular season is over for the boys and girls Beavercreek varsity soccer teams. And what a regular season it was. Both teams dominated conference play and finished as the top-ranked teams in the Miami Valley.

The boys completed an undefeated regular season with a 16-0-1 record, including going 5-0 in the always competitive GWOC Central division.

The girls also completed an impressive regular season, finishing with a 14-1-1 record, also going 5-0 in the GWOC Central, including a rare win over Centerville.

Success was not limited to the local level for either team, as the boys finished the year ranked #2 and girls finished ranked #3 in the state of Ohio by the Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association.

Congratulations to both teams. Let’s get out and support them as the state tournament gets underway.

The Springfield game has been changed.  It will now be played on Tuesday, October 4th at 5:30 at Beavercreek High School.  Springfield does not have a JV team, so this will be part of a varsity double header.  The girls will play at 5:30 and the boys will play at 7:30.

Come out and support both of the top-rated Division 1 schools in the Miami Valley!
