Waikato Diocesan 1 – WC Eagles 6

IMG_9449
WC Eagles opened their New Zealand tour this afternoon on a glorious day in Hamilton against perennial Midland regional champions Waikato Diocesan. Waikato Diocesan opened the scoring after a period of early pressure, but WC Eagles gradually worked their way into the game. Maddie Bacskai tied the game up midway through the half with a well struck penalty corner. Three minutes later Erin Matson threaded a perfect pass to Corinne Zanolli who deflected the ball in to give WC Eagles a 2 – 1 lead, which they held going into half time.

With WC Eagles continuing to press high and spreading the ball around the field, they increased the lead early in the second half. Christy Palazzese eliminated a defender and sent a cracking pass to Corinne Zanolli who deftly deflected the ball with her reverse stick into the roof of the net. Amelia Iacobucci added a fourth, knocking in a rebound off the goalkeeper’s pads, then deflected in a pass off a penalty corner to make the score 5 – 1. With WC Eagles now firmly in control of the game, Iacobucci completed her hat trick finishing off a well-played breakaway as Megan DuVernois drew the goalkeeper before passing to the open Iacobucci to push the ball into the empty net, giving the WC Eagles a 6 – 1 win against the strong Waikato Diocesan team.

WC Eagles continue their tour with a game against Western Heights at 4:45 PM in Rotorua tomorrow afternoon.

WC Eagles repeat as U14, U16, & U19 National Club Champions

The Under 14 age group opened up the nine-day USA Field Hockey event featuring the top teams in the country. Top seeded WC Eagles got off to a strong start beating AIM from Missouri 7-0, followed by a 12-0 defeat of Pennsylvania neighbors Vipers. They rounded out the Pool play with an 11-1 win over Maryland’s H2O to move into the quarter finals where they continued to dominate, this time at the expense of Delaware’s GottaLoveIt! Oranje 12-0. WC Eagles faced a much sterner test in the semi final from Saints (Virginia) but gradually took control of the game and pulled away to win 4-0, setting up a repeat of last year’s final against Northeast Elite from New Hampshire. Scoring two goals in the first five minutes, WC Eagles dominated the Championship game from the opening whistle on their way to a 9-0 victory and being crowned Under 14 National Champions for the third year in a row. It was a remarkable performance by the young WC Eagles Squad who scored 55 goals while conceding only 1 in their six games.

The Under 16s took the spotlight for the next three days. Number one seeded WC Eagles opened with an 8-0 win over New Heights (New Jersey), and cruised to a 13-0 victory over New Hampshire’s Northeast Elite, before rounding out their pool play by beating the strong Kentucky club IFHCK 5-0, to move into the quarter finals. Unperturbed by a lengthy thunder delay, WC Eagles picked up where they left off storming past AIM from Missouri 12-0 to secure a place in the semi finals against arch rivals XCalibur and a rematch of the Pennsylvania Regional Semi Final. WC Eagles once again won the close encounter, taking opportunities in an end to end battle to earn their place in the final with a tough 3-0 win. There was much anticipation as the final drew close, the Saints (Virginia) had dominated their half of the draw, coming into the final outscoring their opponents 15-1. However, after establishing an early lead, WC Eagles controlled the midfield and applied constant pressure on the Saints defense with wave after wave of attacks to win the Championship game 9-0. This brought the WC Eagles’ total of goals scored to 50 goals without conceding any, as they retained the Under 16 National Championship.

Moving into the last three days, it was the nation’s top Under 19 teams’ turn to take center stage. All eyes were on the #1 nationally ranked WC Eagles – could they repeat their sweep of the U14, U16, and U19 National Championships as they had done the previous year? Day 7 saw WC Eagles off to a comfortable start with wins over Total Dutch (New Jersey), 9-0, and FH Life, from Ohio, 4-1, before completing their pool play the next morning with a 5-0 win over Focus (Virginia). New Jersey champions, Jersey Intensity, awaited WC Eagles in the quarter finals but three goals in the first five minutes took the steam out of Jersey Intensity’s sails and WC Eagles ran out 4-0 winners as they cruised into the semi finals where Virginia champions, Saints, were waiting to create an upset! It was indeed a close encounter with both sides vying for the win, but an upset was not in the cards as WC Eagles slammed what proved to be the winning goal with just 8 minutes left and hung on with some staunch defending to win 2-1. This set up a dramatic final against Pennsylvania neighbors XCalibur which would prove to be an exciting game of end to end hockey befitting the two talented squads and the Under 19 Championship game. WC Eagles took the lead three times only for XCalibur to pull a goal back each time. With the score at 3-2 XCalibur equalized on a penalty corner as time ran out to tie the score at 3-3 and send the game into a shoot out. Five players from each team stepped up for the tense shoot out, a 1 v 1 test of skill against resolute goalkeeping. WC Eagles held their nerves to win 3-1 and retain their National Championship for the third straight year and repeat their sweep of all three age groups as Under 14, Under 16, and Under 19 National Club Champions.

“I was very pleased with the quality of our players’ play and their confidence on the ball. This is a result of their hard work and dedication” said WC Eagles Director of Coaching, Jun Kentwell. “Generally our ball speed was good, our first touch has really improved, and we were seeing the pass into the space well. Our U14 and U16 pressed very well as a unit. I was pleased that all three teams were able to handle the high pressure and showed they have the ability to perform under pressure.”

Region 5 Under-16 Teams Earn Trip to National Club Championship

The Region 5 Under-16 Regional Club Championship was held at Elden Rettew Stadium in Manheim, Pa. on May 31 and June 1, 2014. After a fantastic two days of hockey, one team walked away victorious and two teams earned qualification to the National Club Championships next month in Lancaster, Pa. Ten teams competed for the championship title: East Coast, High Styx, Horizon, KaPow, Mystx, Nook Hockey, PA Mavericks, PA Power, WC Eagles and Xcalibur.

Pool play ended with #1 ranked WC Eagles and #38 ranked Nook Hockey taking the top two seeds in Pool A. PA Mavericks, ranked #7, and #3 ranked Xcalibur beat out the competition to take the top two seeds in Pool B.

Both semi-final games proved extremely competitive with both ending up in shootouts to break the ties. The first semi-final game featured WC Eagles versus Xcalibur. Xcalibur scored the first goal and forced WC Eagles to come from behind and net two more goals to secure a win. A dedicated Xcalibur team would not be denied and tied the game with minutes left. WC Eagles prevailed winning the shootout.

The second semi-final game saw PA Mavericks and Nook Hockey battle to a 2-2 tie and a shootout decided the second game in a row. PA Mavericks prevailed in the sudden death round over Nook Hockey.

In the final, WC Eagles and PA Mavericks duked it out for the #1 finish. WC Eagles took home the gold with a 3-0 win. Both teams will be moving on to the National Club Championships.

“Region 5 has some of the best field hockey in the country, and we knew that this weekend’s Regional Club Championships at Manheim Central would be no easy task,” said Chelton Hunter, PA Mavericks Head Coach. “After going 4-0 in pool play, our team played well and earned a trip to the finals over a great Nook Hockey team. We played hard in the finals, but couldn’t break down the offensively minded WC Eagles squad. Overall, the weekend was a great event from the beautiful weather to the organization of the tournament.”

Congratulations to both WC Eagles and PA Mavericks!

Erin Matson: USA Indoor Nat’l Player at 14

Meet Erin Matson: Youngest USA Field Hockey Women’s Player Ever 

HS Graduation Year:  2018 (grade 8)
School:  Charles F. Patton Middle School / Unionville High School in Kennett Square in the fall
Club:  WC Eagles
Position:  Center Midfield

Tell us a little about your experience playing with the U.S. Indoor Team: I started playing for the U.S. Indoor Team three years ago. I was first selected to the U19 Indoor Squad in 2011 when I was 11 and then I was moved up to the Women’s National Indoor Team in March of 2013 after I turned 13 for the South America tour to Buenos Aires, Argentina. That was a very memorable trip for me not only because it was my first time to Argentina, but also because we really gelled as a team and beat Argentina in an intense match after losing to them by one goal and then tying them in previous matches. I received my first international cap in August of 2013 during the first CanAm Series that USA hosted in Feasterville. Coach Denise Zelenak and Coach Nicky Hitchens made our first cap very special by presenting us with a framed official scorecard from that event. I scored the first goal of that game so it is really cool to have a goal listed on that framed scorecard. I then traveled to Leipzig, Germany in January of this year to play in the Leipzig Cup. We flew through the night on New Year’s Eve but because of the time zone difference, we landed in time to count down and watch the ball drop in New York City streamed on someone’s cell phone so that was pretty memorable. I traveled to Toronto, Canada for the second CanAm Series in March to prepare for Pan Ams and then finally to Montevideo, Uruguay in April to play in the Indoor Pan American Cup where we took home the bronze medal in an exciting shoot out vs. Uruguay. That was my first international medal ever playing for USA so that will always be an extremely memorable trip for me. The experience has been absolutely amazing! I have traveled to so many places and experienced great international competition and so many different cultures thanks to Coach Denise, Coach Nicky and the U.S. Indoor Program.

Last year, at 13, you were the youngest member on the U.S. Team and the youngest player to ever play on a USA FH team. That’s incredible! Share your thoughts on playing with older teammates: I have been playing with older teammates ever since I was 7 when I started playing U12 club hockey. I attended my first National Futures Championship in Virginia Beach when I was 11 and my first National Hockey Festival with W C Eagles when I was 11, so I am definitely used to being the youngest on many different teams. Playing with older teammates is great in many different ways. The older players give me advice and push me to raise my game both mentally and physically. Watching and playing with the older players that I think are good leaders also helps me learn what I need to do to be a good leader and mentor to other players. Older teammates bring a whole different environment and level to the game that makes it more challenging and more enjoyable for me. They are also like big sisters to me and look out for me. I love the way teammates, older or younger, can push you to your limits and make you a better player, but that you can always count on them to also be there for you on and off the field.

Field hockey accomplishments: INDIVIDUAL — 2014: USA Women’s National Indoor Team, Big Apple Tournament (Women’s Indoor Division MVP), CanAm Series (Game MVP), Leipzig Cup (Germany); WC Eagles U18 New Zealand Tour Team Selection;#NoOffDays 30 Second Pulls Contest Winner; 2013-14: USA Women’s National Indoor Team Selection, CanAm Series; 2013: USA Women’s National Indoor Team, South America Tour, USA U17 Junior National Team Selection, USA Field Hockey Futures Elite Championship Selection, National Club Championships – High Scorer U14 (16 goals), U16 (8 goals), UVA Mini-Camp 1v1 and Aerial Ball Contest Champion; 2012-14: USA Field Hockey Futures Elite; 2012-13: USA Field Hockey Junior National Camp; 2012: USA Field Hockey Club Athlete of the Month (April); 2011-13: AAU Junior Olympics; 2011-12: USA Junior National Indoor Team Selection; 2011: University of Maryland Camp – All Star Team; 2009-14: USA Field Hockey Futures Program; 2009-10: University of Delaware Camp – U12 1v1 Champion (2009, 2010); TEAM — 2014: USA Women’s National Indoor Team – Indoor Pan American Cup Bronze Medal; 2013: UNC Camp – Camp Champs; 2012-14: NIT – 2014 U16 Pool A Champions, 2013 U16 Pool A Champions, 2012 U14 Pool K Champions; 2012-14: Disney Field Hockey Showcase – 2014 1st Place in U16 Division Top Flight (Donald), 2013 1st Place in U16 Division Top Flight (Goofy), 2012 1st Place in U16 Division Top Flight (Mickey); 2012-13: National Club Championships – 2013 U16 & U14 Champions, 2012 U14 Champions; 2012: Chinese National Youth Championships – W C Eagles U15 Silver Medal, Undefeated Middle School Season (10-0); 2011-13: National Hockey Festival – 2013 U16 Pool S Champions, 2012 U16 Pool T Champions, 2011 U16 Pool W Champions; 2011-12: USA Field Hockey National Futures Championship – 2012 U14 Bronze Medal (Calgary), 2011 U14 Gold Medal (Atlanta); 2011: Longstreth U12 Cup Champions

Best field hockey moment: It was really hard for me to pick one best field hockey moment so I am going to pick two - one with the USA Indoor Team and one with WC Eagles. My best field hockey moment with the USA Indoor Team was winning the bronze medal at the Pan American Cup in Uruguay a few weeks ago. I was the last player to go in the shootout after Susan Ciufo (she’s awesome!) scored for us and the score was tied. I was able to put mine in for the win and it was a very exciting moment for our team to come together in that final game to beat the very talented host country. My best field hockey moment with WC Eagles was probably winning the 2013 U16 National Club Championship in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Our team was extremely close and I just remember having so much fun winning the gold medal and enjoying the whole experience on and off the field. I still play with many of those same teammates, and every time we step on the field together, everyone just knows where to go and everything just clicks and feels right. I look forward to playing in the coming years with them and hopefully even longer after that!

Field hockey goals: I always have a lot of field hockey goals, both team and individual. Some of my short term goals are that I want to help my U16 WC Eagles team qualify for the 2014 NCC tournament and then win gold again. I would also like to be selected to Futures Elite Championships, Junior National Camp and the outdoor U17 Junior National Team again because all three have so many great players, great training with high intensity and great coaching. I also can’t wait to play field hockey for Unionville High School in the fall and I hope to make the Varsity team. Go Indians! My longer term goals include playing field hockey in college and winning National Championship(s), making the U.S. Women’s National Team and playing in the Olympics someday. A big goal of mine is to bring home a gold medal for my country.

Who has helped you along in your field hockey journey? The list of people who have helped me along my field hockey journey is astonishingly long considering the fact that I am only 14 years old, but there are a few people I would definitely like to highlight. First, I have to thank my mom, my dad, my grandfather and my brother for everything that they do for me. They make so many sacrifices so I can get to all of my practices and events and they make it possible for me to travel to so many great places in the U.S. and internationally. The amount of support I receive from my family is unbelievable! I also put a lot of miles on their cars, but they love field hockey too so they are okay with it! There have also been so many special coaches that have helped me and supported me since I started playing beginning with my Futures coaches, my FEC, JNC and national team coaches, so many college coaches at different camps and clinics. If you are reading this, you know who you are so thank you for helping me! I do want to mention Terri Lotter who is someone special that first noticed my skill and passion for the game when I was only five years old and helped me build confidence at a very young age. Coach Denise Zelenak and Coach Nicky Hitchens, my U.S. Indoor Coaches, are also two people that have helped me so much with my field hockey journey. They have extended so many great international opportunities to me and also have so much confidence in me especially in pressure situations. I am very grateful for all of their support over these past three years. Of course, I would like to mention my W C Eagles coaches, Jun and Richard Kentwell. They have taught me an immeasurable amount of skill and respect and ways to handle difficult situations. I can tell Jun anything on my mind, and it is very easy to just talk to her freely during field hockey or while just sitting around. Jun is like a second mother to me. Richard may look tough, but once you get to know him, he is a real sweetheart. :) Yes, they both push you to your limits and yes, they expect a lot from you, but without their expectations and style of coaching, I would not be where I am today.  Finally, I would like to thank all of the teachers at my school for their support and help when I miss school for field hockey events and all of my friends and my teammates for their support. I would also like to thank all the people who have supported my teams and me through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. People who love the game as much as I do have shown their support, and I thank you for everything you have done for me so far! Keep it up!

Now, some fun Q&As to get to know you better! Favorite song to get you pumped up: As of right now, my favorite song is “Revolution (Vocal Mix)” by R3hab, NERVO & Ummet Ozcan, but by the time this article is posted it will probably be a different song. My parents think it is crazy when I say that a song is old after just two weeks, but I am always looking for the next best new release.

What are your pre-game rituals, if any? On the drive to whatever field hockey event I am going to, I always drink a full bottle of water to make sure I am hydrated and I listen to my music to get pumped up to play. Then, when I am about 15 minutes away, I start to get my shin guards, socks and shoes on so I am ready to play when I arrive.

What are you most looking forward to this summer? I’m most looking forward to my trip to New Zealand with WC Eagles! We are going for 16 days and we have matches scheduled in seven different cities, but we will have some time for sightseeing too. I think it is going to be great competition and one of the best places I have ever visited! I am really looking forward to spending time with some of my best friends and favorite coaches and playing great hockey in a beautiful country like New Zealand!

If you could change your position, what position would you want to play and why?(question posed by Emily Braunewell) I guess I would have to say I would be a forward. Since I am already an attacking midfielder, playing forward would allow me to be even closer to the net to score!

What is your question to pose to the next philafieldhockey.com featured athlete? Who is your favorite field hockey player and why?

The following was sent out by email on April 11th, but it has come to my attention that some people did not receive it. Please see below regarding this year’s Spring Tournaments.

We are choosing players based on their given availability and maximum number of tournaments. We are trying to accommodate everyone’s preferences as best we can! Please note we do not have tournaments in every age group each week. I will post the tournaments on the WC Eagles calendar (found here: http://www.wceagleshockey.com/wc-eagles-calendar) but please note, the times and age groups are subject to change upon the number of other teams that register.

Each week, players will be notified by email of tournament schedules, times changes, and rosters once the teams are confirmed. Also payment will be collected on a weekly basis. You can deposit $50 cash or check payment in the fishbowl on the front desk for each Saturday tournament you attend.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

WC Eagles Win Three Gold and a Silver at Disney

WC Eagles gave an outstanding performance at the Disney Showcase Tournament last weekend with the Under 19 repeating as Champions for the third consecutive year and the Under 16 team repeating as Champions for the fourth consecutive year, while the 2nd Under 16 Team repeated as Champions of their division.

Overall our four teams played 32 games, winning 31 with only the WC Eagles Blue and White U19 teams meeting in the Final of the Under 19 preventing a clean sweep with WC Eagles U19 Blue, led by Moira Putsch winning her 5th Disney Gold Medal and Michelle Thompson and Becca Zamojcin collecting their 4th Disney Golds, coming out on top.

The Under 19 Blue and White teams both swept through the top division of the U19 tournament with U19 Blue scoring 57 goals while conceding only 3 and U19 White scoring 29 goals and conceding only 2 on their way to meet in the Final. Kelly Goggins worked tirelessly in midfield to lead her U19 White team to the final and Sophie Graeff was solid in defense. In goal, Erica Miller made some tremendous saves against Jersey Intensity in the cross-over rounds and Katie Wyman played with agility and poise in the semi-final shootout against the strong Focus Club from Virginia to pull the team through. Michelle Thompson had an outstanding tournament for the U19 Blue, strong and consistent in midfield and defense, and Nikki Freeman and Millie Stefanowicz controlled the midfield.

Our WC Eagles U16 Blue adapted well to the conditions playing fast open hockey, dominating their pool and cross-over games scoring 47 goals while conceding just one. In the semi-final they beat IFHCK from Kentucky to take them into the Final against the always strong Spirit USA from New Jersey. An early goal put Spirit USA in front, but with Erin Matson taking control of the midfield, it was not long before Megan Duverois found Erin open in the circle with a pinpoint pass to tie the game and almost immediately Matson fired home a beautiful reverse stick shot to give her team the lead and WC Eagles pressed on to a comfortable 8-2 victory.

Jenna Davison played consistently well in defense, Elizabeth Farrell and Samantha Swart controlled the midfield, and Mayv Clune created scoring opportunities as part of a strong overall performance by the WC Eagles U16 White Team. Their solid defense conceded only one goal in their pool and cross-over games while scoring 30 goals. In a close and exciting semi-final W C Eagles came back from a goal down against Hershey Alley Cats to lead 2-1 for most of the game but gave up a late goal which took the game into a shootout where Rachel Bliss stood firm and confident to deny the Ally Cats at every attempt and send her team into the Final against Jersey Elite. Applying constant pressure WC Eagles White scored 4 goals in the first half and ran out 5-1 winners to bring home the third WC Eagles Gold Medal.

Congratulations to all the WC Eagles players on an outstanding Disney Showcase Tournament
