MARYSVILLE — The Tomahawk girls soccer team just couldn’t seem to get a break this season.

The girls were disappointed as their season wrapped up in a 3-2 overtime loss to Monroe, their seventh this season by a one-goal margin.

“You turn half of those around and we’d be a playoff team,” pointed out M-P coach Geoff Kittle afterward.

After the Tomahawks and Bearcats played a scoreless first half, the scores flew fast and furious. Monroe led first as Bearcat forward Kayla Browne got in the goal behind Tommie tender Lauren Schoonover to score on a pass that bounced over Schoonover’s head.

But senior forward Laina Weber quickly answered for M-P. Six minutes later, Marysville took the lead as sophomore forward Mady Schoonover’s kick from about 20 yards out bounced over the Monroe keeper’s head and into the net.

The lead was good for 15 minutes, but in the 64th minute, Monroe’s Alyssa Drew made it a draw again, forcing overtime.

While the game appeared destined to go down a tie, Monroe senior Casey McNally headed the ball into the Marysville goal with less than two minutes left in double overtime.

While the Tomahawks’ playoff dreams had ended a week earlier, they had hoped to play spoiler to a Monroe team seeking to move up in the district seedings, or at least go out on a positive note to an emotionally challenging season.

The team graduates five seniors: Sarah Zellweger, Aimeee Schoonover, Weber, Katie Hughes and Leslie James. Kittle praised the team’s final performance, adding “The seniors had a nice game.”

The season put Kittle in mind of his first girls team two years ago.

“We had 10 losses, then the next year they turned it around,” he said.
