Brittany Pohrer doesn't quite remember how it happened. But the Notre Dame junior will never forget the end result.
"It was all a blur," said an excited Pohrer, whose goal midway through the second half broke a scoreless tie in the MSHSAA third place game Saturday at Anheuser-Busch Center. "I was in the right place at the right time. I just saw the ball at my feet and hit it in."
Some might have said the tap in, which Pohrer tucked just inside the right goalpost during a goalmouth scramble to spark the Rebels to a 2-0 victory over Visitation, was just dumb luck. Especially after Visitation had produced much better scoring chances throughout the majority of the contest.
Not Notre Dame coach Jeff Robben.
"I don't consider that luck at all," Robben said. "Sometimes getting a goal like that is just preparation meeting opportunity. Luck is winning the lottery."
Though obviously thrilled with the day's outcome, Robben was a little shocked by the move. The cold combination of ice and water caught him off guard.
"I wasn't expecting that," Robben said with a smile, as he attempted to towel off. "But I couldn't be happier. This is big for us. I appreciate their enthusiasm."
The day didn't open very well for the Rebels. Friday's storms forced officials to move all Saturday's games to the turf fields. To make matters worse, the game opened in a drizzle, which later turned into a steady rain.
And the Vivettes, last year's Class 1 co-champions, were able to keep the ball in the Notre Dame end. Though they didn't get many quality shots at Rebels keeper Renee Kertz, the Rebels seemed to constantly be on the defensive.
Veteran Visitation coach Dick Westbrook liked the way his team was knocking the ball around. But as time wore on, it became evident that the first goal was going to be huge.
"We just couldn't get the ball in the back of the net," said Westbrook, whose team finished 16-10-2. "The girls really had a great season and we're ecstatic about where the program is going.
"I've been through this 100 times. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Jeff has a wonderful team."
Pohrer's goal, just her second of the season, came with 22 minutes, 10 seconds to go and was assisted by junior Andrea Bush. Viz goalie Katie Fischer had no chance.
Then with 12:10 left, senior Sam Nuernberger bent a free kick from just past midfield into the middle of the box. On the run, sophomore forward Robyn Meesey re-directed it past Fischer for her team-high 21st goal of the season.
Meesey, and seniors Michelle Seier and Michelle Spencer are three of the team's most talented offensive players. Robben said he likes to use Pohrer and junior foward Danielle Brown up top when the others need a breather.
"We have Brit and Danny to "Reck' em and Smash' em," Robben said. "They continue to run at the other team's defense and tire them out. That also gives our other forwards time to rest."
For the 5-foot-4 Pohrer, who spent the last two seasons on the junior varsity and serves as a spot starter, it was just her second goal of the season.
"I got a few goals on the junior varsity but haven't had that many this year," Pohrer said. "This one was my favorite. It was definitely the biggest goal I've ever had."

Renee Kertz - a real 'keeper'
Rebels' Kertz makes first foray into crease a memorable one
By Scott Fitzgerald

| Jackie Smith photo// Notre Dame goalie Renee Kertz goes high to pull in a shot during the third place game Saturday at Anheuser-Busch Center. |
At first, Jeff Robben was impressed. But the harder he shot, the more aggravated he got.
It was districts week, and the Notre Dame soccer coach was putting first-year goalie Renee Kertz through her paces in practice. And the former keeper wasn't believing what he was seeing.
"Renee was catching everything, so I started drilling shots at her from about 25 yards out," Robben said, laughing. "And I'm starting to get frustrated.
"She's catching them and making it look easy...I was trying to see at what point was she going to bobble. But she just doesn't do that. She's that sure-handed."
Making such stops can be routine for experienced keepers. But for Kertz, an athletic, 5-foot-10 junior who had never played a minute of high school soccer until this season, it was downright impressive.
"Our goalie last year, Joyce Endicott, transferred to another school," Robben said. "So I called (Notre Dame athletics director) Brad Sutterer to see if he knew of anyone who might be good at it."
Suttterer offered up three names: Jackie DeLuca, Ashley Giffin and Kertz. Initially, Kertz wasn't too wild about the idea.
"At first, I was kind of freaked out," she said. "I really didn't know how to say no."
But Kertz, this edition's Athlete of the Week, eventually gave it a try. And she's glad she did.
Kertz and the Rebels advanced to the Class 1 final four last weekend. And with a huge assist to senior defender Caity Zielinski and the Notre Dame defense, Kertz held Visitation off the scoreboard on Saturday as the Rebels posted a 2-0 victory in the third place game at Anheuser-Busch Center.
Viz had the better of the play, especially in the first half. But Kertz was able to keep the Vivettes off the scoreboard.
"Everyone was a little nervous," Kertz said of being in the final four. "But I was confident with the defense I had in front of me."
Defense has always been a strength for Kertz, who does her best work from the shortstop position. Still offense - she had a team-high 30 hits last fall and batted .429 - is her forte.
However, taking a stab in goal - she hadn't played soccer since CYC ball in eighth grade - was a huge departure.
"It was a little harder than I thought," Kertz said. "It's tough to know when to come out, and the pace of the game since the eighth grade had changed dramatically."
However, from the way Kertz handles a short hop to her strong arm, Robben said her skills have fit in nicely on the soccer pitch.
"She has a cannon for an arm," Robben said. "She grabs it like a softball and she throws missles. And she can really punt the ball a long way."
Though Kertz was burned for five goals in Friday's semifinal loss to St. Dominic, Robben didn't think her teammates put her in a lot of good positions. Kertz and the Rebels decided to put that game behind them.
"By Saturday morning, that game was over," Kertz said. "We knew we had a chance to win our last game, and third was better than fourth."
Robben said the experiment this season couldn't have worked out any better.
"We could have gotten by this year with just an OK goalie if we had an experienced defense," Robben said. "But we lost four starters, and Zielinski and Andrea Bush were the only girls returning on the backline.
"From the first day, Renee had a presence out there. She adapted extremely well."
Kertz, who already was on her way to basketball practice on Sunday, ended up with a 12-4-1 mark with 48 saves and 5 shutouts. She might return to the pitch for her senior season.
Maybe.
"The beginning of season started out a little rough, but by the end of the year it was a lot of fun," Kertz said. "I'm going to see how the rest of my year goes. I hope to play again."

St. Dominic blasts bury Notre Dame
By Scott Fitzgerald

As several flashes flickered across the murky, cloud-covered sky, prep soccer fans at Anheuser-Busch Center must have thought, "here we go again."
Weather delays had become the norm the last several weeks. And now MSHSAA officials were dealing with lightning and a malfunctioning scoreboard in the middle of Friday night's Class 1 semifinal game between Notre Dame and St. Dominic.
But for Notre Dame, which trailed 3-1 as time ran down in the first half, a little delay wasn't the end of the world. In fact, it couldn't have come at a better time.
"It gave us a chance to collect ourselves," said Notre Dame coach Jeff Robben. "The worst thing was the constant uncertainty about when we would get started again."
After a few false starts, the lightning finally dissipated, the rain let up, and almost three hours later, play resumed.
St. Dominic (18-5-4), which had scored goals a minute apart just before the close of the first half, rattled off two more on its way to a 5-2 victory and a berth in the Class 1 finals on Saturday.
Notre Dame, which got goals from seniors Michelle Seier and Sam Nuernberger, fell to 14-10-1.
Seier, one of the team captains, gave the Rebels a lift with a little more than 19 minutes left in the first half. With her team trailing 1-0 after the first of three goals from freshman Signe' Novak, Seier blasted a 15-yard equalizer past St. Dominic keeper Kristen Starkey off a feed from Robyn Meesey.
"I thought we were right back in it," Seier said. "It gave us something to be excited about."
Notre Dame's offense even came alive for a few minutes, and started to pressure the St. Dominic goal. But the Rebels got a bad break when Novak's next shot ricocheted off freshman back Dana Wilhelm and into the Notre Dame goal with 3:58 left in the half.
Though St. Dominic's Jennifer Didion added another, Wilhelm was upset about her part in the tally.
"We also won a game on one of those," Robben said in reference to his team's 2-1 victory over Rosati-Kain in sectionals. "It wasn't her fault. We should have cleared the ball out of there."
As for Novak, whose hat trick upped her goal total from 12 to 15, St. Dominic coach Greg Koeller said she's just had a hot foot of late.
"She was on fire," said Koeller of Novak, who scored her 11th goal in the last five games. "She's been unbelievable for us."
Didion was no slouch, either. Her two goals gave her a team-high 18 on the season.
Meanwhile, the Rebels could not put together a sustained attack. Seier said it was a very non-Notre Dame like performance.
"I don't think we played like we're capable of playing," Seier said. "We struggled for some reason. We've gotten creamed by some pretty good teams this year, but we've always hung in there."
Down 5-1, the Rebels got one back with 20 minutes to go. Seier fed Nuernberger, whose well-placed, 35-yard blast ricocheted off the bottom of the crossbar and into the net. But that wasn't enough against the potent Crusaders.
"They are a good team and they earned their way here," Robben said of St. Dominic. "They have a dangerous, dangerous tandem up top.
"We just have to bounce back for the third place game. We still have a chance to win our final game, and only two (Class 1) teams get to do that."

St. Dominic storms past Notre Dame 5-2

FENTON — They started this one in the late afternoon under partly sunny skies with late spring humidity filling the air. By the time they finished — nearly five hours later — it was dark and cool.
Rain and lightning delayed St. Dominic's march into the state championship game by nearly three hours Friday night, but the Crusaders were in control both before and after the lengthy wait.
St. Dominic defeated Notre Dame 5-2 in a state semifinal, ensuring the Crusaders a spot in today's Class 1 championship game at 4:30 p.m. St. Dominic last won the state championship in 2001 and finished second in 1996, when there was only a single class.
Play was halted after the first half with the Crusaders (18-5-4) leading 3-1. Officials at the Anheuser-Busch Center spotted lightning, though rain would not fall for more than another hour.
"We pretty much just sat there," said Signe Novak, a freshman. "And we ate."Like her teammates, Novak had a pretty good night, both pre-and post-lightning. She scored the Crusaders' first goal from about eight yards away 12 minutes into the first half and finished with three scores.
About nine minutes after Novak's first goal, Notre Dame's Michelle Seier evened the match, but that was as close as the Rebels (14-10-1) would get.
St. Dominic closed the half with two goals — one in the 34th minute from Novak and the other about a minute later from Jen Didion — and the Crusaders cruised into halftime. Then the storms came.
"We thought it was going to be 30 minutes," Novak said.
Even though the St. Dominic players did not know the delay would be so lengthy, the time inside did not seem to bother the players. Ten minutes into the second half, Didion — the Crusaders' leading scorer this season — added another goal. Two minutes later, Novak scored again, and St. Dominic led 5-1.
"Obviously, (the weather) didn't slow us down," Didion said.
The Crusaders finished third at the 2005 championships, when Didion was a sophomore. This time, she said, she wants more.
"We're coming back with first," she said.
Because of the weather delays, the Visitation semifinal against Notre Dame de Sion started late and was not completed in time for this edition.

Spencer, Rebels win battle of NDs
Local squad advances to Class 1 semifinals against St. Dominic
By Scott Fitzgerald
Tuesday, May 29, 2007 5:15 PM CDT
After years of playing spoiler, the Notre Dame soccer team appears to be ready for prime time.
Even senior midfielder Michelle Spencer, normally one of the team's vocal leaders, was unusually quiet in the hours leading up to the Rebels' Class 1 quarterfinal clash with Cape Girardeau Notre Dame Saturday night.
"I was really nervous, and sort of freakin' out," Spencer said. "Normally, I'm the bubbly one."
Understandably, Spencer was more reserved with a spot in the Class 1 final four on the line, something she's been waiting for ever since her freshman season.
That wait officially came to an end at Anheuser-Busch Center, as Spencer stepped up to net the first goal, sending the Rebels (15-9-1) on their way to a 3-1 victory and a berth in Friday's state semifinals. It is the team's first trip to the final four since 1999, and the first under Robben.
It took not only a lot of work, but a belief from the team's seniors that they could help right a ship that had drifted off course, opening up with a 1-7 mark.
"We really got off to a rough start," Spencer said. "But we began playing for each other and were able to turn things around."
Spencer, known more for her assists than her goals, opened the scoring just a few minutes into the contest. After a cross from teammate Sam Lang, Spencer pounced on the ball just outside the penalty area and sent it past Bulldogs junior goalie Shelley Frank for a 1-0 advantage.
The goal held up well into the second half. But with about 14:40 to play, sophomore Robyn Meesey volleyed a ball off her thigh and in from about 12 yards out for her 21st goal of the season. Senior teammate Michele Seier added another a little more than six minutes later on a well-placed shot into the top left corner from just outside the penalty area.
Cape Notre Dame got one back with 5:24 to go from sophomore midfielder Courtney Luehmann, with an assist from Destiny Dirnberger. But it was the only one the Bulldogs could get past Rebels goalie Renee Kertz.
Cape Notre Dame coach Jeff Worley, whose team had not lost since April 2, said giving up the first goal really put his team under the gun.
"We had a couple good chances up until their goal," Worley said. "Then after they scored, it took us awhile to settle down."
Though they were a couple hours away from home, the Bulldogs were not in unfamiliar territory. Worley and his crew often make the trek to Fenton, and reached the final four in 2003 and 2004.
"We were supposed to play Notre Dame during the regular season, but were rained out," Worley said. "We play them every year, so nothing they did surprised us."
Notre Dame now faces St. Dominic (17-5-4) in Friday's semifinals at 5 p.m. on field No. 5 at Anheuser-Busch Center. The other semifinal, set for 7, pits Visitation (15-9-2) against Notre Dame de Sion (10-7-4).
"This is something 'Spence' and several others have wanted for four years," said Robben, who began coaching at Notre Dame in 2001 and has guided St. Mary's to a number of state crowns.
"It was important to have veterans that know how a season goes, that can stay on their teammates and keep everyone positive. Now that the girls are here, we have to try and make sure the (final four) distractions don't become a distraction.
"I'm so proud of what these girls have accomplished."

St. Louis Notre Dame reaches semifinals By Brian Sumers POST-DISPATCH 05/26/2007

FENTON — Michelle Spencer attended a graduation party Saturday in her honor, but the normally talkative teenager could barely converse with adults.
She had a soccer game that night, and she couldn't sit still.
"I was freaking out before the game," she said. "I was so nervous."
Spencer calmed considerably as she helped lead St. Louis Notre Dame to a 3-1 victory over Cape Girardeau Notre Dame in a Class 1 quarterfinal at the Anheuser-Busch Center.
The Rebels, who are 9-0-1 in their last 10 games, advance to the state semifinals for the first time since 1999. They will play St. Dominic on Friday at 5 p.m.
Spencer said she became comfortable after she scored the Rebels' first goal in the seventh minute. Taking the Rebels' first shot on goal, Spencer beat a defender and shot from five yards after receiving a cross from Sam Lang.
"Once I got that," Spencer said, "it all went away." 
The Rebels scored twice more — one goal came from Michelle Seier and the other came from Robyn Meesey — before the Bulldogs (17-3-1) broke the shutout when Courtney Luehmann scored in the 36th minute of the second half.
About four minutes later, it was on to the celebration for St. Louis Notre Dame. And no one seemed to enjoy it more than Spencer, who played her first varsity game four years ago after coach Jeff Robben brought her up late in the season. She has relished post-season soccer ever since.
"This is surely something Spence has wanted for four years," Robben said. "She has been the spark plug."
Robben didn't even mind Spencer's subdued demeanor before the game.
"They fed off her quiet emotion," Robben said. "They saw that she was serious."
The Rebels (14-9-2) might have reached the final four earlier in Spencer's career, but the team spent the past five seasons competing against much larger schools in Class 2. This season, they dropped one level.
"As a large school, I don't think we were anything but a spoiler," Robben said. "We are where we belong."

Late goal sends Kougars home for season
By Jim Faasen NORTH SIDE JOURNAL 05/22/2007

Things looked rosy for the Rosati-Kain girls soccer team in the early going of Tuesday's Class 1 sectional match with Notre Dame at the Anheuser Busch Center in Fenton.
Just 2 minutes, 35 seconds into the match, Kougars senior Kelsey Consiglio took a pass in the Rebels' penalty area and volleyed it by Notre Dame junior keeper Renee Kertz.
"It just came over and I happened to be in the right place at the right time," Consiglio said. "I really didn't expect it to go in."
But it did, and Rosati held the lead for most of the half until the 36:02 mark of the game, when Notre Dame's Micehelle Seier pounced on a loose ball in the Rosati penalty area and beat Kougars frosh keeper Katie Hammond to tie the score.
Corbella's corner ricocheted off a Rosati defender and bounded into the goal to send the Rebels into Saturday's Class 1 quarterfinal against Cape Girardeau Notre Dame (17-2-1).
"That was a game exactly like the one I anticipated," Rosati coach Barry O'Keeffe said. "I knew they weren't going to run away with it and we weren't, either. The first half was even and second half was about seeing who could get that next goal. Unfortunately, it was a tough way to lose."
While Notre Dame (13-9-1) made the most of its final chances, Kertz and the Rebels dodged some Rosati bullets over the final 40 minutes.
Perhaps Rosati's best chance of the game after it was tied came in the early minutes of the second half, when Liz Salsich ran onto a ball in the Notre Dame end and sent a shot wide of the net.
"I have to look at the stats, but I know we had a couple of good chances," O'Keeffe said. "It was just like 'oh, gee'; if we had gotten that one in there, things could have been different."
Things also could have been much worse for the Kougars if not for the play of the team's defense, holding back the Rebels as long as it did in the game's final half of play.
Corbella almost gave the Rebels the lead about 10 minutes before the final tally was scored, facing Rosati's keeper as she possessed the ball all alone inside the Kougars' box.
Her ensuing shot seemed destined for the net just under the crossbar until Hammond's flick of the wrist punched it over the crossbar and out of play.
"Our defense did very well today," O'Keeffe said.
The loss means Rosati (15-10-1) will end its season a couple of steps short of last year's third-place finish in Class 1, which saddened Consiglio.
"I was hoping we could do it again our senior year," Consiglio said. "Especially with so many of us (being seniors). We're close now and we're all going away next year (to places) all over. Most of us aren't going to pay in college, so this was our last game."
While the players were obviously shaken by the tough loss, the coach also felt the sadness of losing 12 seniors - 10 of who played against Notre Dame.
"I complimented the kids after the game," O'Keeffe said. "They had a phenomenal run. (It was) just a great season. I had 12 seniors, and 10 were on the field. It's sort of sad, but it's not bitter. They played really well this year."
In the other Class 1 game involving a local team, five first-half goals by Westminster proved too much for Trinity Catholic in a 5-0 decision in the late game at AB Tuesday.
Kenzie Pfitzinger notched two goals and added an assist to pace the Wildcats, who also received goals from Liz Crowell, Sarah Moore and Tess Fitzpatrick in the victory.
Westminster (12-3-2) moved on to a quarterfinal date with Visitation Saturday at AB, while Trinity (8-10-12) ended its season.

Anatomy of a goal
Meesey makes most of her chances, gets all of Rebels' tallies in 5-0 win
By Jason Reckamp of the Suburban Journal
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 5:53 PM CDT
Though she just completed the final class work of her sophomore year at Notre Dame High, Robyn Meesey may want to consider a career in anatomy.
The 5-foot-10 striker, this edition's Journal Athlete of the Week, scored five goals in last week's 5-1 Class 1 District 3 final win over Affton. Scoring five goals in a match itself is impressive. But the way Meesey scored them - three with her head, one with her left foot and one with her right - was mind-boggling.
"We were trying to figure out a way to describe it, trying to come up with a (catch phrase)," said Notre Dame coach Jeff Robben, a long-time coach of both boys and girls who said he has never had a player score five goals. "It wasn't a Gordie Howe hat trick - a goal, an assist and a fight - but it was pretty impressive. And she picked a great time to do it, huh?"
The win lifted the Rebels (12-9-1) to their first district title since 2000 and into a sectional match with Rosati-Kain (15-9-1) Tuesday after the Journals went to press.
"I try to score goals," said Meesey, who led the squad with 12 goals and four assists during the regular season. She had eight goals and three assists in the three district games. "But my teammates did a great job of setting me up. I could just read the passes really well... I knew they were coming."
What about using just about every possible extension to score?
"I didn't try to do it that way," Meesey said with a laugh. "But I guess it was pretty cool that it happened like that."
Meesey scored one goal in the first half and then four in the second. The Rebels defense and goalkeeper Renee Kertz kept Affton off the scoreboard until late in the second half, when Sam Bock finally broke through for a goal.
"There wasn't a dull one in the bunch," Robben said. "They were all highlight-reel goals.
"The thing about Robyn is she's really deceptive. It's not that she does this outstanding stuff away from the ball. She's an opportunist. If you came and scouted her you'd say 'Oh, well, she's not working hard.' But that's not the case at all. She just picks her spots."
And it wasn't like it was the Robyn Meesey Show last Wednesday at DuBourg. Although she put her feet or her head to the end results, Meesey had five different teammates - Andrea Bush, Sam Nuernberger, Michelle Seier, Betsi Stuckel and Michelle Spencer - feed her assists.
"We have all been working so hard and we've really come together the last couple of weeks," Meesey said. "The five goals don't mean anything if we don't win that game. To win districts has been a goal of ours since before the season."
If they weren't already on the lookout, Meesey's offensive output probably sent opposing defenses into a frenzy trying to prepare.
But, according to Robben, if the opposition pays too much attention to Meesey, Notre Dame has five other players with double figures in points - Spencer, Seier, Michelle Dimza, Katherine Corbella and Andrea Bush.
Meesey and her teammates also teamed up for a little appreciative artwork at the Robben household late Thursday night. With a handful of window markers and four rolls of toilet paper, the Rebels went to work on Robben's truck.
The girls wrote 'District Champions' and 'We Love You' in big, bold letters on the windshield and rear window, and used every inch of toilet paper on the rest of the truck.
"They wrapped my truck like a cocoon," Robben said. "And I asked one of the girls why they didn't do it on Wednesday night after we won. She said 'because we had practice (Thursday) and we didn't know how you'd punish us.'"
Meesey said it's moments like those that have helped the team gel and have fun on the field.
"Yes, I'd say so," Meesey said. "It was 11 p.m., so it wasn't real late. But we had a lot of fun."
And Meesey made sure to use only her hands during the debauchery, saving her head and feet for Tuesday's action.

The Notre Dame HS Soccer team defeated Affton HS 5 - 1 for the MSHSAA Class-1 District III Championship on Wednesday, May 15th to a packed stadium at Bishop Dubourg High School. Head Coach Jeff Robben and Assistant Coach Matt Wecke celebrate their first District championship win in their six year ND coaching career.
The modest coach noted that he's "pleased with the way we've been playing. The girls have been playing with a purpose and I hope to see it continue."
Sophomore Robin Meesey definately showed that purpose when she set a new Notre Dame record by scoring five goals in a single game. She also sets the record for most goals scored from headers in a single game of which she scored three.
