Keeper Ellie Hood: 1 save. Owosso: 1-0. 1st Half O- Taylor Porter, 7:48, unassisted O- Janae Voss, 19:30, assist from Anna Raffaelli O- Porter, 20:50, assist from Raffaelli O- Voss, 21:50, assist from Raffaelli 2nd Half O- Porter, 10:29, long shot far post shot O- Raffaelli, 29:45, assist from Porter Today's offensive cohesiveness was the best I have seen in a season opener since I started coaching for Owosso. Our team
moved the ball around the field well, and put together countless combination plays throughout the game. Our offense was highlighted by Taylor Porter (3 goals, 1 assist), Anna Raffaelli (1 goal, 3 assists) and Janae Voss (2 goals). Our defensive line made some solid stops tonight and even stepped into the attack with the support of fullback, Lauren Stowe. Owosso 5 (19 shots), Corunna 0 (7 shots). Owosso Keeper Ellie Hood: 3 saves, Corunna Keeper Ruth Crabtree: 7 saves. 1st Half: After the first 19 minutes, during which team our lacked offensive cohesiveness, we dominated the majority of play. Owosso: Corunna own goal off cross from Lauren Stowe (10:04) O: Anna Raffaelli (21:56) PK after being tripped from behind in the box O: Freshman Claire Drake connected on her first career goal off assist from Taylor Porter (25:16) 2nd Half: Our team entered the second half with much stronger passing combinations, field awareness and team chemistry. The physical play during the final 20 minutes is certainly going to help prepare both teams with a stronger mindset for the adversity that will be experienced as the season unfolds. Owosso: Porter, off cross from Stowe (34:00) O: Nelleke Langdon, pass from Raffaelli (37:59) SOFTBALL – Owosso Trojans Varsity Loses Lead Early In Defeat.

The other top 8 (medalwinning) performance went to senior captain Merissa Leftwich with a mark of 32’1/2” in the shot put.
