Georgia College Soccer Ends 2010 Going Out With a Bang
In all my years of sports, I have never been a part of something so exciting, something so improbable, and something so unbelievable.
The Georgia College women's soccer squad ended its postseason this past Tuesday night in Dahlonega, Ga, falling to North Georgia 2-2 (6-5 on penalty kicks).
North Georgia garnered a first half goal off a corner kick from Casey Smith. The ball found the head of Natalie Douglass, who put it past GC keeper Mary Rob Plunkett to give the Saints a 1-0 lead.
Going into halftime with a 1-0 score in favor of the Saints, North Georgia added one more goal in first 15 minutes of the second period, to seemingly put the contest away 2-0.
That was, until, senior midfielder Ally Treat took matters into her own hands.
With 17 minutes remaining the game, Treat received a touch from senior Jessica Newland and powered home a goal from 40 yards out to make it a 2-1 ball game.
Then, less than three minutes later, after the North Georgia defense deflected a ball sent down by GC, Treat gathered the rebound, and hammered a shot from 45 yards away, finding the bottom left shelf of the goal past a diving Kirsten Ross to even things up at 2-2!
The game would go into both overtime periods, with neither team able to score. Penalty kicks ensued, and North Georgia was able to win the battle 6-5, moving on to the Peach Belt Conference semifinals.
Congrats to the ladies on a fine season! Much thanks to the six seniors (Mary Rob Plunkett, Jessica Newland, Kelli McLane, Ally Treat, Jessica Binkowski, and Kayla Emerson) for making it a special one for this broadcaster.
Also, thanks to the Bobcat sports information office, front office, and everyone involved in Bobcat athletics for allowing yours truly to bring you the action this season.
A big thank you, finally, to the listeners and fans, for without you, none of this would be possible.
Much is expected in 2011 from Bobcat soccer. I know head coach Hope Clark will be chomping at the bit to get back out there as soon as possible. For now, though, let's get some rest and see what awaits in 2011 as we move on to Bobcat basketball!

Georgia College Women's Soccer Set for Playoffs as No. 5 Seed in Peach Belt Conference Tournament in Rd. 1 at #4 North Georgia College
Time to throw all the records, stats, and past meetings out the window.
The Georgia College women's soccer team will embark on their postseason journey on Tuesday (Nov. 2) as the ladies travel to do battle in Dahlonega, Ga. at North Georgia College. The Bobcats will represent the #5 seed in the conference tourney, while the Saints will be #4.
The playoffs represent an exciting time of the year for any team at any level. The stakes are raised. The tension is high. Every minute of every game matters.
These two teams met early in October, with the Saints taking the match 1-0 off a late goal with less than seven minutes remaining.
Ironically, these two teams met last season in round one, with the Bobcats emerging as the victor, 2-1.
This year, the Saints are a lethal team. North Georgia has proven themselves as one of the upper echelon teams in the Peach Belt. Casey Smith leads the team and is tops in the nation with 15 assists. Scoring wise, the Saints have scored 40+ goals this season, obviously presenting problems for the stagnant offense the Bobcats have displayed over the past six games.
But, all is not lost.
Georgia College has a new breath. Making the postseason allows a team to wipe the slate clean and start over. That's what Head Coach Hope Clark and the Bobcats will look to do.
Here are the keys to a Bobcat victory in Round 1 against the Saints:
1) LIMIT NORTH GEORGIA'S SPEED: The saints present a lethal scoring attack and a deadening defense. North Georgia is superb at moving the ball down the field and finding seams in opponents defense. If the Bobcats can limit the midfielders and forwards on the outside of North Georgia, the Bobcats will give themselves a chance.
2) SCORE FIRST: Obviously the Bobcats have struggled to score of late. GC has tallied just one goal in the past six contests. But thankfully the postseason symbolizes a new birth and a new beginning. If the team can keep that in mind and use the attacking offense effectively, Georgia College will have a chance.
3) URGENCY: If you listened or were at the Montevallo game for the seasons final regular day, you saw the Bobcats play with a sense of meaning. The Bobcats knew for the final 10 minutes of the game that they had to somehow try to score a goal. When playing that style, the Bobcats had multiple opportunities to score. If the Bobcats play with that attitude, again, we give ourselves a chance.
4) FINISH: Now is not the time to miss from 10 yards and in. When GC gets a good look on offense, it will be crucial to score.
Nothing like the playoffs! Every aspect of the game will be elevated! This is going to be fun!
