INDIANAPOLIS ââ?¬â?? Soccer is not always a fair game. Much like
football, the team which dominates play is not always the team that
wins. That was clearly the case Oct. 29 in No. 17 Fort Wayne Dwenger�s
2-0 girls soccer state semifinals win over 13th-ranked Evansville
Central.
The girls from the Pocket City controlled play throughout but went home with nothing to show for it.
This game quite possibly turned on a disallowed Evansville Central
goal in the final three minutes before halftime. The tally was waived
off due to an offside call from the official trailing the play. As a
result, the Bears remained fully on the attack, and Dwenger tallied in
the 48th minute on a counter surge. The goal came from the foot of
Blair Sorg and was assisted by Mary Peden.
It was no more than the third shot on goal that Dwenger had mustered all day long.
Despite stepping the pressure up even more in the game�s waning
minutes, Central could not dent the net. Dwenger�s Margaret Allgeier
put things out of reach with a goal in the final five minutes.
For the victorious Saints, this might be a case of needing to be
careful what you wish for. The victory set up a date with No. 6
Zionsville in the title game. That is a tall order. The Eagles
thoroughly thrashed Lake Central in the other semi and possess blazing
team speed that the girls from Fort Wayne will be hard-pressed to
handle.
