DELPHOS — St. John’s used its deeper bench to dominate most of the girls soccer contest on a warm Tuesday afternoon/evening at the Annex. The Lady Blue Jays let loose with 30 total shots (23 on-goal) toward their goal to only six for the Lady Knights (3 on-goal). However, senior Crestview goalkeeper Darcci Swager stopped 17 and the teams battled to a 1-1 draw. “How many shots on-goal do you need to score goals? We had plenty but we struggled to find the back of the net,” St. John’s head coach John Munoz noted. “We rotated six strikers today and each one of them got good looks but couldn’t score. We tried to go for more outside shots the first half and have more possession in the 18 the second half and we still missed. Plus, Swager did a nice job in goal; she played well.” Crestview head coach Melissa Mefferd knew her young team was in for a tough battle. “We were down two players due to injuries and one due to illness. We only have 16 to begin with and it was a warm day, so that took its toll,” she explained. “It really affected us the second half but my girls fought hard and gave me everything. Darcci played extremely well in goal and (junior) Riley (Guest) was incredible on defense.”
