Williamston Women Win District Soccer Title over Lansing Catholic 5-0
One of the oldest sports sayings is that a good defense leads to a good offense. Sometimes though cliches are there for a reason and that was exactly the case for the Williamston Hornets women’s soccer team Thursday night as they won the district championship at home over Lansing Catholic 5-0.
“It is the core of our team. Coming into this game we’ve only allowed six goals this entire season, and to beat a champion caliber team you’ve got to play good defense and that’s what we’ve worked on all year.” Hornets head coach Steve Horn explained post game. “They have a heck of a player in Maddie O’ Farrell and Bella Fernandez is special up top, so we knew that we’d have to bracket them. Everything with our team starts and ends with our back line and our goalkeeping.”
The Hornets Emma Gorsline scored in the first thirty seconds of the game, and that set the tone very early as the Cougars were forced to play from behind in the very outset of the game. With Lansing Catholic playing on their heels, the Hornets Kaley Douglass took advantage and was relentless on offense scoring three goals, earning the hat trick. Each goal allowed Williamston to become more aggressive on defense which only increased as the game went on. The Hornets dominated the time of possession and limited the Cougars to few offensive possessions near their net. Anything that did break through was controlled by Hornets sophomore goalkeeper Abby Pieper who was brilliant in goal on multiple saves.
“She’s a sophomore and didn’t get to play last season so this was a growing season for her. She just gets better every game. That save you saw at the end there, she wouldn’t have made earlier in the year.” Horn said of Pieper. “She just works hard…she’s just tough as nails. It doesn’t make any difference if it’s that kind of save – a one vs. one save – she’ll just throw her body on the line for her team and that’s the best part about her. When you do that you’re going to come up with a big save every now and again.

CHIEF BOB YOUNG IS RETIRING
Chief Bob Young, Badge 595, is retiring after almost 11 years of service at the Williamston Police Department. Chief Young spent over 45 years policing. He started out at Tecumseh PD and then spent 33 years with Michigan State Police. While at MSP, he held a variety of positions across the State. He is an active member of the FBINAA. He started at Williamston PD in 2010 and really found a home here. He enjoyed engaging with the community and could frequently be seen walking or biking through town. Attendance at National Night Out was a true testament to his involvement in the community! He will be missed.
