Visitation soccer coach disappointed in 2-0 loss to MICDS.
In a nutshell, Visitation Soccer coach Dick Westbrook was in a snit over the lack of effort by his team against MICDS Wednesday. The Rams capitalized on opportunities, using a pair of rebounded shots by Klasey Medelberg and Amber Jones to blank the Vivettes, 2-0. “Oh we didn’t play well at all. We didn’t come to play. The enthusiasm wasn’t there. They (the team) had a big win yesterday (Tuesday) over Cor Jesu (2-1) and they think all we have to do is come out and we will win. We play a tough schedule, and they have to come out and play a tough game each time,” he said, point-blank. As he was being interviewed, the host Rams broke out in a rousing team cheer. “See, that’s what we needed. Either these girls are going to take it to heart, or …

The Wildcats, coached by former major-league pitcher Andy Benes, were undefeated in the MWAA II Conference last year.
If the first three games of the season were any indication, it is going to be a wild and crazy fall for the Westminster Christian Academy softball team. The 5-1 Wildcats, who won the MWAA II Conference last season en route to a 12-9 season, scored 31 runs in wins over Kirkwood and DuBourg and an extra-inning loss to Rockwood Summit. Westminster won the Kirkwood game despite leaving 16 runners on base and committing eight errors, a combination which almost always leads to a loss. The Wildcats stranded another dozen runners in the loss to Summit in which they were one strike away from victory. Westminster loaded the bases with nobody out in the eighth inning but failed to score. Westminster committed five errors in the first inning and gave …

The 2011 UMB Bank High School Senior Soccer All-Star Game features three players from Visitation Academy.
Samantha Jones was a bit surprised when her name was announced as the Most Valuable Player of the North Team in her team's 6-2 victory over the South Team at the 2011 UMB Bank High School Senior Soccer All-Star Game. The match was hosted by the Missouri Athletic Club and played Thursday night at the Anheuser-Busch Center. It was not expected that a defender would win the honors in a showcase game that was dominated by offense. "I froze for a second," said Jones, a recent McCluer North graduate who will move on to play at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. "I knew I didn't score or have an assist, so I was not expecting to be named the MVP. “It's a great honor and tonight was so much fun. It didn't really matter too much which team …

Visitation Academy freshman Elizabeth Hopkins scores the game-winner to give the Vivettes a 2-1 victory over Notre Dame de Sion.
Deciding a soccer game via penalty kicks is one of the most brutal ways to determine a state championship. Saturday evening was one of those nights where a title was claimed in that exact fashion. With a chance to win back-to-back state championships on the line, Visitation Academy freshman Elizabeth Hopkins nailed down the game-winning penalty kick to give the Vivettes a 2-1 victory over Notre Dame de Sion in the Class 2 state championship game at Anheuser-Busch Center in Fenton. “I was freaking out,” Hopkins said. “I was saying to myself ‘why me’? But I was just wanting to score so bad. I knew the game was on the line and I wanted a ring and I wanted that state championship.” Not only was the outcome brutal, the weather conditions pushed…

For the second straight year, Visitation Academy ends Notre Dame's season in the Class 2 state playoffs.
It was a scene all too familiar on Friday when Visitation Academy and Notre Dame High School met in the Class 2 girl’s soccer semifinals at the Anheuser-Busch Center in Fenton. For the second straight year, the Vivettes and Rebels met in the playoffs and Visitation (20-5) proved why it’s the defending state champions with an impressive 6-0 win over Notre Dame. “The girls came out to play,” Visitation head coach Dick Westbrook said. “I told them beforehand that the last time three times we played Notre Dame, they have always scored first. So that means it’s either bad coaching on my part or you’re not mentally ready. But we were mentally ready today.” Visitation jumped out to a 1-0 lead with 34:43 to play in the first half on a goal by …
