St. James soccer falls

James Academy girls soccer team was dealt its first loss of the season on Wednesday after falling to Lee’s Summit North (Mo.), 4-0, at St.

While LS North had Tuesday night off after defeating Blue Valley Northwest, 4-0, on Monday, St.

James coach Mark Twellman did not blame the loss on the Broncos’ extra night of rest.

Although the loss to LS North was disappointing for Twellman’s squad.

Miller came up with three saves in the penalty kicks, and was stellar throughout the match according to Twellman.

“She had several saves in the game, and then saved three in the penalties to help us out.” Along with Miller’s three saves, Caylee Thornhill, Kerry Devine, Karissa Duker and Michaela Weist made their penalty kicks to clinch the victory over the Stars.

Twellman is calling upon some of the talented younger players like Thornhill and Weist to step up into leadership roles.
