The Mighty Bluebird Black
team got back to their winning tournament ways by winning the Ozark Spring
Classic on April 21st and 22nd, 2007. The Bluebirds won their first game
against AR Comets 94 Gold 5-0; they then won their next game 4-0 over
the TSC 95 Red 4-0. In the third game they tied EFC Attack of Wichita,
Kansas 1-1 with many debatable calls occurring in the game. In the finals
the Bluebirds got a rematch with EFC Attack of Wichita, KS and beat them
sharply 4-0. The Bluebirds scoring was led by Haley Hatcher with 8 goals,
Samantha Mack with 4 goals, while Sarenity Gomez, Larkin Hatcher, and
Payton Maurer all added goals as well. The Bluebirds defense was stingy
throughout the tournament led by goalie Madison Lee, fullbacks Haley Filat,
Kelsey Smith, and Rachel Rickenbach at the top of the diamond, and Megan
Batek anchoring the defense at sweeper making one good decision after
another throughout the tournament.
