Upper State Championship: Irmo vs Northwestern

2008-05-13T23:49:00.006-04:00

Final Score:

Irmo 1 NW 2

NW was kept on their heals 80% of the time tonight. The first NW goal came on an Irmo deflection during a corner kick in the first half. Irmo countered by serving a beautiful ball into the box, which was headed into the goal by a NW defender as he and an Irmo striker went for the ball.

The sideline ref. called a push in the back by the Irmo striker and called the Irmo goal back. The video clearly shows both players going for the ball with the defender planting an arm into the striker who hit the ground as the NW defender heads the ball into the goal. The reaction of the NW defender doesn't indicate he was fouled. A very controversial call that ended up being a game breaker for Irmo.

Irmo ended the half down by one. The second half opened with 25 minutes of absolute dominance by Irmo, which is when Irmo scored on a beautiful header by Matt Sieverding from a corner kick by Jugal Dalal.

Irmo lost some momentum as NW stepped up their level of play for the next 10 minutes or so when they took a shot from the right side which was knocked down by the Irmo keeper. The ball was batted around in the box a couple of times before a NW player punched it in for their second goal on the night.

Down by one, Irmo drew on that desire we've come to know so well and again pounded the devil out of the NW midfield and defenders but failed to net their opportunities.

Irmo was the superior team tonight, but were unable to have the luck break their way.

Great season boys!

Playoff Game #2: Irmo Defeats Spartanburg

2008-05-08T22:21:00.013-04:00

Post compliments (in part) of clemsonsoccer07 on SCSoccer.com

Irmo 6 - Spartanburg 3

Spartanburg was awarded a PK in the first minute when the Irmo keeper was given a red card. Spartanburg capitalized on the PK and went up 1-0. They had another goal on a flick from a long throw and a third goal on a great individual run and some lazy defending. Irmo was down 3-0 with about 15 minutes left in the first half. The Irmo boys never gave up and pulled one goal back with 4 minutes to go in the half on precision strike from Trent Morgan . Irmo got a second point back with only about 2 left and the half ended 3-2. At that point you could definitely feel the momentum shift Irmo's way and Spartanburg was on their heels from then on out. Irmo went on to score 4 more goals in the second half, all a man down. The 6th and final goal was one of the dirtiest goals I've seen in a long time. Taylor Varney froze two defenders in the box, making them both dive to the ground after faking the shot and came to the keeper and made him dive to the ground after faking the shot for the third time before cooly tapping it in the back of the net. The Irmo boys showed a great deal of poise and determination to pull themselves out of a 3-0 hole with only 10 men. GOOD LUCK!!!

Irmo vs Aiken | Final Score 2-1

2008-04-18T23:47:00.003-04:00

Irmo gave up an early goal to Aiken in the game at the Green Hornet stadium tonight. Irmo had more attempts on goal, but turned in a lackluster performance during the first half of play.

Halftime discussion with head coach Phil Savitz and his coaching staff did the job because Irmo came out in the second half with the determination they needed to turn the tide against Aiken.

Kyle Simpson of Irmo drew a foul in the box which was netted on a Taylor Varney penalty kick. Later in the half, Irmo right winger (Leo?) crossed a beauty into the path of left mid Zach Acree who struck a fantastic uncontested side volley for goal number two.

Great job after a not so impressive first half.

Irmo faces White Knoll next week at home.

Irmo vs Aiken Final 2-1

Irmo vs South Aiken | Final Score 2-1

2008-04-16T00:22:00.004-04:00

Irmo went down early at home against South Aiken on a beautifully struck ball from 25 yards by #12 to the upper right corner of the goal. Irmo wasted little time mounting repeated attacks which produced a goal to tie the game by Junior Kyle McKewen who split the South Aiken defenders and beat the keeper to his left leaving Kyle with the chance to tuck the shot away on the back post.

At the half, Irmo 1 , South Aiken 1

Irmo opened the second half with the fire and passion this team has shown the ability to produce. South Aiken met the inspired Irmo players with their own level of passion as the game wore on. Zach Acree drew a foul just above the left corner of the box and as the South Aiken players argued with the referee Acree and his teammates remained focused on the objective of scoring with a quick start to the free kick whihc was crossed into the box where freshman defender Matt Sieverding finished the shot for what ended up being the game winning goal.

Irmo prepares to meet Aiken away this Friday.

Irmo vs Lexington | Final Score 2-1

2008-04-11T22:50:00.007-04:00

The Irmo boys varsity soccer team (ranked #4 in region play and #5 in the state) faced off against 4-A region rival Lexington (ranked #6 in region play and #13 in the state) Wildcats tonight at Lexington. Lexington gave the yellow jackets a tough match as they defended well and generated way too many corner kicks in the second half of play. The first half ended 0-0.

Irmo sophomore Zach Acree drew a foul just above the left corner of the box and then teamed with junior Taylor Varney who stepped up to take the free kick against a Lexington keeper, who had already made a number of fantastic saves.

Varney picked his spot and struck the ball with precision bending it over the wall into the left upper 90 of the goal. An absolutely beautiful shot on frame! Lexington countered by drawing a free kick from the right side on a handball call. Lexington struck the ball to the far post where it was met by a Lexington player who headed it into the goal.

With the score tied and very little time remaining, Irmo stepped up the intensity with repeated attacks on the Wildcat defenders and keeper, which held until senior captain Jugal Dalal decided tonight would not be the night for overtime.

Dalal first ripped a shot to the inside of the left post from about 5 yards above the box, which the Wildcat keeper stretched to make a spectacular save on.

With the clock ticking to what may have been less than a minute to go in regulation the ball ended up at the feet of Dalal again, but this time the strike by the senior would be placed with laser precision into the right corner of the net from about the same place as his first shot.

Irmo fans on both sides of the stadium erupted in celebration as the Yellow jackets clenched their forth straight win and their 12th win on the season.

Great job by the entire Irmo squad in preparing for such intense play. Irmo now takes aim at a rematch with South Aiken and home on Tuesday. The Yellow Jackets will be hungry for revenge after suffering an upset to South Aiken a couple of weeks ago.

Great job on the night boys and best of luck to you on Tuesday!

Irmo vs Chapin | Final Score 1-0

2008-04-08T21:13:00.014-04:00

Chapin and Irmo battled hard for 80 minutes with more opportunities for Irmo than for Chapin during the first half, which ended 0-0. The highlight shot of the first half was hit by Kyle McEwan when he turned a ripped a shot from the top of the box that went just over the crossbar.

Both teams again fought hard in the second half of play with less possession by Irmo as Chapin mounted various attacks. In the final two or three minutes of play Irmo forward, Kyle McEwan, capitalized on a counter attack by connecting with forward, Taylor Varney, on a beautifully placed diagonal pass to his feet as Varney split the Chapin defenders to gain possession.

Varney exhibited tremendous composure as he drew senior Chapin keeper, Gregory DeMare, out as he attempted to make the save. Taylor touched the ball to the outside of his right foot ultimately beating DeMare with a well placed shot in the back of the net for the winning goal.

The Irmo win means Irmo retains the Superintendents Cup for 2008. Congratulations boys!

Irmo prepares for region rival Lexington on Friday of this week.

Go Irmo!

Boys Varsity Soccer - Irmo vs Dutch Fork

2008-03-21T20:53:00.006-04:00

http://irmosoccer.com

Irmo forward, Kyle McKewen, struck first on a shot to the left side of the goal after the ball was crossed by Zach Acree who took it to the right touch line after strong defensive and mid field play by his Irmo teammates.

Dutch Fork answered the Irmo goal with roughly 5 minutes remaining in the first half when Danny Cates found an opening to strike a 25 yard beauty which bent into the upper right corner of the net as Irmo Keeper Rob Sullivan stretched to get a glove tip on the shot.

Regulation play ended 1-1 after an intense second half and two overtimes of great opportunities by both clubs. Irmo and Dutch Fork then faced off for PK's to decide the winner. Irmo keeper, Steven Arneson, was in goal as Dutch Fork's #14 placed their first PK into the net.

Irmo countered as Kyle McKewen placed the first PK into the right side of the goal. The next two PK's by Dutch Fork would strike the bottom of the right post and deflect away while the second strike by Cates would be saved by keeper Arneson by his outreached right foot. The Arneson save sent the Irmo fans and team into a huge celebration.

The second Irmo PK was placed into the lower left corner by Taylor Varney. Leo Mukofsky blistered his PK into the left side, followed by Emmett Lunceford who finished the series with his successful shot placement in the lower right corner against the Dutch Fork keeper.

Irmo soccer players now take some time off for spring break prior to preparing for their second region game against South Aiken on March 28, 2008.

Go Irmo Soccer!

Boys Varsity Soccer - Irmo vs Spring Valley

2008-03-18T20:33:00.011-04:00

http://www.irmosoccer.com

Irmo opened the non region home match against cross town rival and defending state champion Spring valley by dominating play during the first 15 to 20 minutes. Irmo created multiple chances to score the first goal of the game on skillful linking between players all over the field, but was unable to score.

Faced with a relentless attack by Irmo, Spring Valley found it within themselves to turn the tide after about 25 minutes into the game by gaining a majority of the possession and ultimately scoring on a 20 yard blast for the right foot of sophomore, Antoine Parris.

The second Spring Valley goal came from what I think was a free kick to the back post, which was headed in.

Irmo now prepares to meet rival Dutch Fork at home on Friday of this week.

Irmo vs Spring Valley

2008-03-11T19:17:00.004-04:00

http://irmosoccer.com

Defensive play was strong for both teams in this match. Matt Colwell came very close to scoring on a well struck volley on a corner kick, but it went just over the crossbar after Irmo kept SV on their heals during much of the first half. The score at half time was 0-0.

The second half opened with Spring Valley playing a faster pace one touch style and with more desire than they exhibited in the first half. With roughly 25 minutes remaining in the half, Spring Valley's Antoine Parris made it to the left corner where he crosses a ball into the box which was finished into the left portion of the goal.

Irmo was down, but refused to give in. Irmo stepped up play ultimately creating 10 corner kicks to Spring Valley's 1. Irmo pounded SV relentlessly during the final 20 minutes with their closest opportunity coming from a strike by Zach Acree which hit the left post and deflected away. Numerous other chances occurred in the half, but failed to find the net.

Irmo vs Dutch Fork Boys Varsity Final Score

2008-03-08T19:49:00.004-05:00

http://irmosoccer.com

Final Score: 6-1

This game was played at Dutch Fork with a 7pm kickoff after the Irmo Girls Varsity defeated Dutch Fork 2-1.

Irmo went into halftime with solid defensive play and a lead of 2-0 on a goal by Zach Acree after he drew a foul in the box. The Acree goal from the PK spot was followed by a goal scored by junior, Kyle Hubbard, after 2 or 3 Irmo players got shots off in the box.

The second half produced a single goal by Dutch Fork on a quality shot driven home by Danny Cates from 20 to 25 yards out. The Dutch Fork goal seemed to awaken the beast in Irmo as Irmo responded with four unanswered goals.

Goal number three was scored by Taylor Varney as he chipped the keeper after receipt of a long pass up the middle from Emmett Lunceford.

Leo Mukofsky scored a beautiful goal after beating two or three defenders in the box to score on a nicely placed left post shot.

Taylor Varney relentlessly attacked the Dutch Fork defense drawing two more fouls in the box, which Varney successfully converted from the PK spot.

Great job on the night as the Irmo Yellow Jackets close out the first week of play with 9 goals for and 1 goal against during wins over Ridgeview and Dutch Fork.

Next week starts with a match against Spring Valley, at Spring Valley, on Tuesday night followed by a region match against White Knoll.
