10/25/10
Last week was a busy and successful week for the Soccer Hawks. On Wednesday 10/20 they traveled to Kirksville MO and drew 1-1 with #14 nationally ranked Truman State University in a non-Conference match. The match was end-to-end and quite intense for the entire 110 minutes of action. Grant Ellison (JR from St. Dominic HS) scored for QU. Mike Andres (SO from DeSmet HS) supplied the assit.
On Friday, 10/22 the Hawks bested the Prairie Stars from the University of Illinois-Springfield 5-0 in the GLVC match that clinched their play-off berth in the Conference Tournament. Grant Ellison scored twice, goals number 11 and 12 on the year for him. Jack Wedemeier (SR from Cape Notre Dame) notched his 9th goal of the season while Carl Hodges (SO from Sedgefield, England) and Jeff Vaninger (SO from CBC HS)each tallied their third goals. Jeff Vaninger and Ryan Seifert (FR from St. Dominic HS) each provided two assists. Wedemeier and Andres also had one assit apiece.
On Sunday 10/24 the Hawks and Lewis University battled to a scoreless tie after 110 minutes of very intense soccer action. Scoring chances for both teams were limited. However, DJ Lampert (So from Lutheran South HS) made two needed stops to preserve the "clean sheet" on the day.
This coming Sunday 10/31 the #4 seeded Hawks will host the #5 seeded Panthers from Drury University in the opening round of the GLVC Conference Tournament. Kick-off time at North Campus Field will be 2:30 PM. Earlier in the year the Hawks defeated the Panthers 1-0 in a very exciting contest. If you're anywhere near QU's North Campus Field this Sunday come on in and root the team on to victory.

On Sunday, the Hawks were in a tough battle with the Pumas of St. Joseph's College and needed Ryan Hirtz's (Sr. winger from St. Dominic HS) goal in the 70th minute to get by the determined hosts.

TOUGH WEEKEND...
10/11/10
The weekend of 10/8-10/10 was a tough one for the QU Soccer Hawks. Although the players gave 100% effort in their games with the University of Indianapolis and Northern Kentucky both games were lost.
On Friday 10/8 the Hawks fell 1-0 to the Greyhounds when they scored on a breakaway with just 22 seconds left in the second overtime period. Throughout the game the Hawks played well and created several great scoring chances but were denied four possible goals. Grant Ellison (junior striker from St. Dominic HS)was thwarted twice as he had one of his blasts ping off the lower goal post and spin out, and another bravely saved by the Hounds keeper. Jack Wedemeier (senior striker from Cape Notre Dame) was also unlucky twice as Indy's keeper punched out one of Jack's patented free kick drives, and then saved his valient head shot attempt on another occasion.
On Sunday 10/10 the Hawks battled toe to toe with NKU (then ranked #9 in the Nation) but again came up short. The game waas a real war with no player on eithr side giving an inch. However, NKU's All-America striker Steve Beattie managed to slip away on two occasions in the second half to provide great assist passes to two of his teammates to earn the victory for the Norse.
Currently the Hwks are 7-5 and 6-4 in the GLVC. Their next matches are Friday 10/15 at 1:15 PM at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and then on Sunday 10/17 at 2:30 PM at St. Joseph's College (IN). If you are near either of these venues stop by and root the team on.

HAWKS WIN TWO...COACH GETS 500TH
10/4/10
This past weekend the Hawks downed Bellarmine University 3-1 and Kentucky Wesleyan University 4-0 to run their overall record to 7-3 with a 6-2 mark in the GLVC. The victory over KWU helped Hawk Coach Jack Mackenzie reach the 500 win milestone.
The BU game was a fast-paced affair battled out on the Knight's home artificial turf. After staving off an opening flurry of BU shots the Hawks jumped in front at the 37th minute mark when striker Jack Wedemeier (senior from Cape Norte Dame)bravely headed in a swerving cross from left fullback Carl Hodgfes (sophomore from Sedgefield, England)who swung the ball toward the far post on the dead run from the left sideline over 35 yards out.
In the second half, junior striker Grant Ellison (St. Dominic HS) scored two beautiful goals, the first of which came in the 65 minute with a nifty assist pass again coming from left back Carl Hodges. Ellison's second score at the 81st minute mark came off a neat set-up laid on by fellow striker Jack Wedemeier. The Knights scored a late consolation goal at the 85th minute mark to close out the scoring.
On Sunday 10/3 the Hawks battled a determined Kentucky Wesleyan squad to a nil-nil half time standoff. During the opening 45 minutes of action KWU sat back in a defensive shell and repelled every attack the Hawks launched at them. In the second half, Hawk patience and persistance paid off quickly with striker Grant Ellison snatching the opening goal in less than three minutes of the restart. Carl Hodges supplied the assist, his third of the weekend. Twenty-four minutes later Jeff Vaninger (sophomore from CBC HS) gave the Hawks some breathing room when he slashed through the penalty area after receiving a pass from Corey Eatherton (senior from Summit HS) rounded the goalie and deposited the ball into the back of the net. Seven minutes later Jeff and Corey reversed roles as Vaninger registered an assist by supplying Eatherton with a pass that Corey took and snaked around a couple defenders and then hit a low shot into the bottom corner of the net. Jack Wedemeier finished off the Hawk scoring in the 82nd minute when he took a chest trap off a cross from Mike Andres (sophomore from DeSmet HS) and then side-vollyed a blast in from about 14 yards out.
The Hawks continue GLVC action this weekend when they play host to the University of Indianapolis on Friday 10/8 at 7:30 PM and then take on Northern Kentucky University on Sunday 10/10 at 2:30 PM. Both matches take place at QU's North Campus Filed. If you're in the vacinity come on out and root the Hawks on to victory.
