Kaiser Elementary School defeated TeWinkle, 4-0, Wednesday in the

first soccer game of pool play in the girls fifth- and sixth-grade

Gold Division of the 2005 Daily Pilot Cup at Costa Mesa Farm Complex.

“We just had a lot more experience than the other team,” Kaiser

Coach Kirk McIntosh said.

Kaiser’s offense was led by forward Megan Khademi, who scored in

the first 12 minutes of the game with a breakaway goal. Blakeley

Ficenec helped out with two goals, one in the first half, assisted by

outside left midfielder Josie Jogwe and one self-assisted goal in the

second half.

In the second half, Ficenec moved around a defender after picking

up a loose ball and scored in the 33rd minute. Two minutes later,

Jogwe dribbled down the left side, cut back in the middle and scored

unassisted.

For TeWinkle, forwards Jackie Freiberger and Emily Lutzke put in a

solid effort on offense, but couldn’t get by Kaiser sweeper Shanay

Fischer. Other defensive efforts came from Kyarah Poplos and Kelly

Rorden for Kaiser.

“They were all stand outs,” TeWinkle Coach John Hinson said about

his team.

Starting at goalkeeper for Kaiser was Savanna Gastineau and

Christie Ohlhaver relieved her in the second half. Both girls had two

saves for the game. For TeWinkle, Laurel Hinson and Nikki Heinig

shared time in the goal and both had four saves and allowed two goals

to score.

“I thought my girls played great,” Hinson said. “The other team

played excellent.”
