GONZALES – Over the past 11 games, Vandebilt Catholic’s defense hasn’t just been dominating.

It’s been perfect.

And perfection didn’t change in the Division II state championship match against St. Michael at Spartan Stadium Friday night.

For the 12th consecutive match, the Lady Terriers shut out their opponent, winning 3-0.

This shutout, though, ended with the school’s first state championship in girls soccer.

“It feels really good to bring one back,” Vandebilt coach Philip Amedee said. “I’ve taken a little bit of a ribbing from (Vandebilt boys’ coach) Doug (Hamilton) about finally bringing a ring back. But this is a class that’s deserving. They’ve worked hard. The outcome was evident. They were not going to be denied.”

Amedee referred to Hamilton, whose boys’ team plays in the Division II state championship against Teurlings Catholic at 4 p.m. today in Lafayette.

On this night, though, it was about the Lady Terriers.

“It’s indescribable,” senior stopper Alana Dehart said of the championship. “It’s the best feeling I’ve ever felt.”

At the stopper position, Dehart was the last line of midfield and first line of defense that stifled St. Michael’s attack.

“We’re talking about goals, goals, goals,” Amedee said. “But defensive effort, we come out and shut down teams time and time again. It’s due to our mentality. We all play defense.”

Vandebilt (21-7) only allowed the Lady Warriors (14-11-3) two shots on goal.

“This game was going to be decided in the midfield,” St. Michael coach Anthony Neeson said. “It was. (Vandebilt) showed a lot of heart in the midfield. They stepped up and won most of the first touches.”

Because of that, Vandy’s midfield was able to consistently feed passes to its attackers, resulting in 28 shots on goal.

But it wasn’t until the 38th minute the Lady Terriers found the net.

Lindsey Warren sent a pass into the penalty box that Kayla Chatman received in a crowd of defenders. Chatman battled for the ball, beating St. Michael’s goalie Liz Buss, and scoring on an uncontested shot from 2 yards out.

“At first I thought I was going to fall, but then I decided ‘no.’ I kept my balance, and I got to the ball quicker than the goalie did,” Chatman said. “She was in the middle of a dive, but I beat her to it. I was just in the right place at the right time.”

With the goal coming two minutes before halftime, the Lady Terriers rode momentum into the final 40 minutes.

“That was critical,” Amedee said. “Scoring right there at the end. (St. Michael) was playing some good defense. We had a couple quality opportunities we didn’t finish, but the goal at the end kind of set the tone for the second half. When the girls came out … they felt that they were in control of it.”

After three solid chances for Vandebilt, Alyssa Voisin put in the Lady Terriers’ second goal. Voisin ran on to a pass, creating a one-on-one with Buss. Buss deflected Voisin’s first shot, but Voisin followed it and scored on the rebound, making it 2-0 at the 56th minute.

In the 76th minute, with Vandebilt controlling the possession, Kacey Amedee looped in a shot from the left sideline into the upper-left corner of the goal, for the 3-0 score.

“It’s something we’ve been looking forward to since the beginning of the season,” Chatman said of the championship. “It’s a really good feeling. It’s good to work as one team. We’ve become really close.”

Entering the game, St. Michael’s defense had also impressed, of late. The Lady Warriors had only given up three goals in their last 11 games.
But according Dehart, the better team left the field with the championship.

“I think we were the better team,” she said. “St. Michael is really good, but the better team won.”
