last years leading goal socrers earn hat tricks vs. Scott CC
Last seasons leading goal scorers Eric Anderson and Rikki Southard earned their first hat tricks of the season. Andersons three goals were his first of the season in his venture to catch last years mark of 15 goals. Southards three goals were her 4th and 5th of the season in her path to last years mark of 16 goals.
Reivers easily sweep Scott
Iowa Western Community College put on an offensive show Tuesday on the Reivers pitch and won a pair of Region XI soccer matches.
The women defeated Scott Community College 9-1 just ahead of the men's 8-1 decision.
In each game, the Reivers led 6-0 at halftime, making the second half a contest mostly for the reserves. Scott's goals came late in each game and only served to deny Iowa Western the shutout.
Iowa Western coach Ammon Bennett took the wins in stride. The Reivers are off to a 2-0 start in the region, but the victories have come against the two teams who were preseason rated to finish off the pace.
"In many ways," said Bennett, "Scott looked like a couple of teams (men and women) who drove five hours (Davenport), got off the bus and played. That drive takes a toll on your legs. That's part of what happened to our men on Saturday when we went down and played (and lost 5-0 to) Neosho.
"I reminded our players that we have to drive over there. It will be us that will have to get off the bus and play while they will have the fresh legs."
The women got three goals from former Lewis Central star Rikki Southard, two from former St. Albert star Laura Bomgaars and two from Whitni Davis. Kim Olsen had a goal and three assists. Brooklyn Barton had the other goal. Lindy Stauffer had two assists. Becky Pulham, Karley Nelson, Lewis Central's Courtnie Dennis had assists. Keeper Kira Lazenby finished with five saves.
Sophomore Eric Anderson had three goals, the first just three minutes into the men's contest. Trevor Eastman had two; Lewis Central's Luke Thomsen, Shawn McGuire and Jason Gaius had one each. Sibit Lam had two assists, Zach VanWagenen, Kourtney Knowles and Jared Jensen had assists.
Looking at both the Reivers' teams "offensively we're getting solid," said Bennett, "but defensive we have some holes to plug.
"I look at both of our teams and I know we can still be much better."
Iowa Western returns to action Saturday. The Reivers host Barton County in a non-region doubleheader, the women play at 2 p.m. with the men to follow.
Records: Women: Scott (1-1, 4-1-1); Iowa Western (2-0, 3-0)
Men: Scott (1-2, 1-4-1); Iowa Western (2-0, 3-1-1)

Ryan Osborn dished out four assists vs. Ridgewater
Iowa Western Community College opened home portion of its men's soccer schedule Tuesday afternoon in record-setting fashion.
The Reivers set a school mark for goals in a game with a 10-0 win over Ridgewater College.
The Willmar, Minn., school is getting into junior college soccer this season and ran out of gas and into plenty of Reivers. Iowa Western scored seven times in the second half.
"They (Ridgewater) got tired," said Iowa Western coach Ammon Bennett, "and we moved the ball better (in the second half). We were the quicker team, but we didn't use our speed in the first half. It wasn't good soccer."
Travis Irvin, Justin Harrington and Jared Jensen each scored twice for Iowa Western. Jason Gaius, Dan Fischer, Brett Brady (on a penalty kick) and Zach VanWagenen completed the scoring.
Ryan Osborn had four assists. Irvin had two assists; and Tyler Nelson earned one assist.
Joe O'Neil was in the net for the Reivers and was rarely asked to work. He finished with two saves.
The game was a tune-up for a pair of games this weekend in Overland Park against Neosho (Saturday) and Johnson County (Sunday).
"Those will be a much tougher task," said Bennett. "We have to play a much better game."
The Iowa Western women's soccer team returns to action Friday with a match at Dodge City, Kan.

We are half way done with our summer camps. Coach Bennett and I have spent the last week with a nearly 200 youth in our community. We have another 100 coming in this week, as we will be holding camp for the 4-7 year olds as well as the 8-10 year olds.
Soccer is slowly developing in our community as we are seeing the development of a competitive club www.cbsoccer.com in the shadows of the succes we have had in our first two years.
As coaches we hope you are all getting fit, as we know that this fall we have gigantic expectations for both programs. We hav a lot of talent entering our squads and fitness may be the reason you see more or less playing time. Please make sure you are following the work out program sent out to you. Realize that this is a guidline to the MINIMUM of what you are to be doing this summer.
Please make sure you have taken care of your housing as well as registered for classes. If you have not ordered your players kit then you may not get it the first week you arrive. Everyone should have filled it out and sent it in. Please take care of this.
Let us know how you are doing...post a BLOG!
