For this week's issue, we look at preseason girls' soccer wins posted by the Awesome American Fork Cavewomen and the Ferocious Pleasant Grove Vikings. Although the school year has not yet officially started, the games covered in this issue spell out that the season for high school fall sports has returned. Let's take a look at how the Ferocious Vikings and my Awesome Cavewomen did in their road wins against the Mountain View Bruins (AKA the Teddy Bears or T-Bears) and the Timpanogos Timberwolves (AKA the Timberpups or T-Pups).

Awesome AF Cavewomen pull out 3-1 Win Over Timpanogos T-Pups in Preseason Girls' Soccer Opener August 12

The Awesome American Fork Cavewomen defeated the Timpanogos Timberwolves, AKA the Timberpups or T-Pups, 3-1 in a preseason girls' soccer game played at Timpanogos Aug. 12.
Neither team maintained much domination in the first half. Guided by Jordyn "Pusan" Chung-Hoon and Tess Donaldson, the T-Pups huffed and puffed to try to blow down the Awesome Cavewomen's defense. It proved to the T-Pups to be more like a house of bricks instead of a house of straw. American Fork goalie Kenzie Jorgansen made sure of that as her quickness prevented the T-Pups from scoring any goals until midway through the first period. From the top of the American Fork penalty box, Donaldson scored a goal.
The T-Pups howled for joy about it -- until American Fork regained its composure a short time later. Determined not to take home a biting loss, the Awesome Cavemen carried out a series of constant attacks on the T-Pups' penalty box. Late in the first period, Awesome Cavewoman Emily "Tex" Houston kicked in a goal to the tie the game at one.
The 1-1 deadlock lasted until early in the second period. American Fork's Laken Flinders, a cousin of former American Fork High baseball sensation Mo Flinders, broke the tie. She recalled, "McKenzie Walker crossed the ball to me from the left and kicked it from just outside the penalty box."
American Fork didn't rest on its 2-1 lead. A cousin of Lone Peak Loner baseball player Talmage Lamb, Audrey Searle often came up with steals and then connected passes with T.J. Thompson and Tin Lizzy Newman. Quicker than you could say Ali Lamb Chop, Searle's offensive efforts paid off for American Fork, for in the game's final minutes, Newman scored a goal to put the game out of the T-Pups' reach.
American Fork Coach Margie Stringam said, "Our girls all worked together today. They played as if they had already gotten some games under their belt. We got great assists from McKenzie Walker, Emily Houston, and Laken Flinders. They're all seniors. It's great to have very experienced seniors on the team this year. Laken's goal in the second half knocked the wind out of Timpanogos."
Ferocious PGF Vikings Skin Mountain View Teddy Bears 3-0 in Preseason Girls' Soccer Aug. 14

In a preseason girls' soccer game at Mountain View Aug. 14, the Ferocious Pleasant Grove Vikings defeated the Mountain View Bruins, AKA Teddy Bears or T-Bears, 3-0.
The game marked the first time ever that Pleasant Grove had beaten the Teddy Bears in girls' soccer. In prior contest, Mountain View would either maul the Ferocious Vikings big time or charge from behind to win. While the game's outcome gave the T-Bears ideas of wanting to go hibernate for the rest of the season, it gave Pleasant Grove hopes of having better luck this fall than in prior seasons.
For much of the first half, Teddy Bear goalie Kensee Hone held the Ferocious Vikings scoreless while teammates Tiffany Peterson, Allie Warner, Maddie Oldham, and Alecia Robinson led deep penetrations into Pleasant Grove's territory. Ferocious Viking goalie Maddie Conlee did not let the Teddy Bears score on any of their six shots during the game, especially an indirect kick booted by Maudy Davilla.
The Ferocious Vikings didn't let Hone's outstanding discourage them. They finally got onto the scoreboard in the first half's final five minutes when Morgan "Finn" Quarnberg kicked in a goal.
For a little while, the game looked as though it would end in a score of 1-0. In the last seven minutes of play, though, the Ferocious Vikings went on a scoring spree. Quarenberg scored the second goal on a rebound. Hone abandoned the goal line a short time later while racing towards the ball. A Ferocious Viking kicked it away from Hone, and Amelia Fullmer booted the ball in to put the final square at 3-0.
Ferocious Viking Coach Lee Tortorelli said, "We took a lot of shots at the goal, and if we had been able to finish our attacks, we would have had more goals. We came out and showed how well conditioned we were for Mountain View."
