WALWORTH — The Monroe girls soccer team picked up its first win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Catholic Central in the Big Foot-Williams Bay Invite on Saturday, April 22.

Karlee Boll scored the lone goal in the 34th minute with an assist from Shyanne Camron. The Cheesemakers were competitive in its other two invitational games, losing to Big Foot-Williams Bay 6-2 and Lakeside Lutheran 1-0.

Atziry Ocampo put Monroe on the board first in the first minute with an assist from Marlies Brandli. The Chiefs tied the game on a penalty kick and took the lead on a breakaway six minutes later. Boll knotted the game at two headed into the half, but Big Foot stole the momentum with a goal from a corner kick with 30 seconds remaining.

The Chiefs then scored three unanswered goals in the second half for the win.

Monroe limited Lakeside Lutheran to two goals — one in each half — but were unable to score. 

With a 1-2 record and three goals scored, Monroe took third in the Invite. Catholic Central, which was also 1-2, scored only two goals. Lakeside Lutheran went 3-0 with eight goals to win, while Big Foot-Williams Bay took second with a 1-2 record and seven goals.

EDGEWOOD 7, MONROE 0

MONROE — No. 3-ranked conference-leading Edgewood shut out Monroe on Thursday, April 20. Despite the loss, Monroe head coach Hannah Ormson was happy with the way her team played, as it was the first time in over five years the Crusaders hadn’t mercy-ruled the Cheesemakers.

“We made a change that fit the girls on the team this year and their strengths,” Ormson said. “We went from a 3-5-2 formation to a 4-2-3-1, which allows us to have more of a defensive position and break up the other team’s lines.”

The Crusaders scored four times in the first half and another three times in the second half. Sophomore Sonoma Bever scored three goals with three assists. Senior captain Madison Foley also scored three goals with two assists. The final goal came from Alana Johnson.
