Red, White and Doom takes third in AYSO area play

Red, White and Doom of Region 55 captured third place at the AYSO Area 11K All-Star Tournament last weekend.

The girls’ Under-12 squad completed the tournament at El Dorado Park in Long Beach on Saturday with a 1-0 victory against Region 96.

Red, White and Doom jumped out to an early lead, as strikers Grace Khoury and Hannah Higginson set up scoring opportunities for Caroline Fowler.

From there, the rest of the match turned into a defensive struggle.

Leading the way on defense for Red, White and Doom was sweeper Kayla Winsatt and fullbacks Jessica Johanscik, Cassidy Novkov and Kendyl Nowels.

In an earlier tournament match, Nowels scored her first career goal.

Contributions from midfielders Regan Shaver, Amber Rodriguez, Devon Graber, Simone Corkett and Dana Conlisk, allowed Red, White and Doom to take control of the ball in the center of the field.

Tana Moore and Afton Siegel combined for the shutout in net.

Morgan Renaud, who was absent from Saturday’s match, also contributed to Red, White and Doom’s success throughout the tournament.

The team, coached by Todd Nowels and Bruce Winsatt, finished the tournament with the best goals-for average.
