The Zizzer Soccer Wall of Honor was established in 1999 to honor those who have greatly contributed to the Zizzer and Lady Zizzer Soccer Programs. Originally designed to honor players and coaches, the Wall of Honor added a new category for the 2005 class – Soccer Supporters. Soccer Supporters can be any person that contributes to the programs in other ways. Soccer Supporters must be nominated by parents, players or other soccer supporters. Nominations will be accepted during the Fall of even numbered years.

Voting for the Wall of Honor is done by current and former Coaches, current and former Zizzer and Lady Zizzer Players, and Parents of current and former Zizzer and Lady Zizzer Players. Elections are held in early Spring in Odd numbered years. A person must be named on 75% of ballots returned to be named to the Wall of Honor. If a player does not receive a vote in 2 consecutive elections, they will be dropped from the ballot.

On Saturday, Marshall faced Clayton in the 3rd Place game. The Greyhounds took a 1-0 about midway through the first half on an unassisted goal by Charles Harned. The Owls tied it eight minutes later on a goal by Alan Magana. The game would stay 1-1 until Gabe Jacus gave the Greyhounds a 2-1 lead just 1:58 into the second half. Clayton would go up 3-1 in the 57th minute on a goal by Maamoun Hossayrami. Erik Moreno cut the lead to 3-2 in the 59th minute. Harned closed out the scoring in the 72nd minute. Clayton prevailed by the score of 4-2. With the loss, the Owls finished in 4th Place.

The 4th Place finish capped an amazing season for the Owls who finish a school best 24-4. They made their 3rd ever trip to the Final Four, finishing 4th for the third time, and shared their 2nd NCMC title. Along the way they brought a lot of excitement to their families and fans as evidenced by the 7 bus loads of kids at the game on Friday. Great job Owls! And a great job by the Owls’ coaches (pictured above in a photo taken by Steve ‘Ole’ Olson of SGFsoccer.com – Thanks Steve!) Josh Posegate (left) and Kelly Callanan (right).

The Mavs advance to the Sweet 16 where they will face #3 Ranked Messiah College, the defending National Champions. Game details haven’t been announced yet, but the game should be played Friday or Saturday. Congratulations Stuart! Good Luck!

The leader of the Marshall Owls is the Zizzers own Josh Posegate (Class of 2000). Posegate (on the left in the picture with the Owls Seniors) has done a terrific job in just his third season as Head Coach of the Marshall Boys Soccer Team. Marshall will now face Smithville in the State Semifinals. That game will take place Friday, November 19th at 12:00pm at the Soccer Park in Fenton, MO. Smithville advanced with a 5-0 victory of Kansas City Center. In the other Semifinal, St. Mary’s (St. Louis) will take on Clayton at 2:00pm.
