Live Soccer News from the Daily Planet - 5/18/2008
Through Rain, Sleet, or Corner Kicks.....the "Mighty" Mustangs kept their focus. They were not to be denied!
Down early for the first time this season....they tied it up with 50 seconds left in the half. That first goal was a real momentum changer, not only psychologically, but weather wise!
With a fresh slate in the second half, the Mustangs got it in gear and scored three more times to put the lights out on Ladywood.
Congratulations Mustangs on a great Catholic League season!
Now on to the State tourney!!

Another Jimmy "O" Soccer update!! - 5/10/2008
The "Mighty" North Farmington Warriors found some Kryptonite last night....Mustang Fury!

Five minutes into the game and it was obvious to the "trained observer", Where's the Beef??? The Mustangs owned the Warriors and it was just a matter of time before...Justice was served!
Marian 2 N. Farmington ..."the usual"...0
And that's the rest of the story!
Good Day!

Jimmy's Back with another Soccer update!! - 5/8/2008
Where's Waldo???
Jimmy O was down for the 8 count...a slight touch of the "bubonic". Probably those Kielbasa...

Regina came to play! Boy, did they! The Regina Rough Riders had the Mustangs on the run...Sarkis had her first..that's right, her first goal scored upon her. Shannon Neville would have none of it....scored TWICE!!!

Live Soccer update from the DP! - 5/4/2008
There you go again! Tantalizing their fans with a 0-0 first half...The "Mighty" Mustangs opened the corral door and sent a stampede of goals at Mercy. Anina Cicerone registered her first "Hat Trick" and Stephanie continued her torrid scoring streak.

Whitney Sarkis gave everyone a scare when she collided with one of the Mercy freight trains...down for the count! Marisa Opie seized her chance and did a great job of holding Mercy scoreless. All the girls played great...they just keep getting stronger and stronger each week.
Final score...4 - zip!
Much warmer down here!

Soccer update from the seer with no peer! Jimmy "O" - 5/4/2008
Ouch!!!! Down goes Mazur!
What started out as an easy night of soccer, turned into a terrible loss for the team. The dueling Danielle's did it again! Kamenec started it, first shift!, and Mazur finished it!
Mustangs 3, Ladywood 1.
Anina Cicerone's goal was the cream in that "oreo". Stay tuned on the status of Danielle.

Soccer update from just south of Escanaba! - 5/1/2008
Standing in today for Jimmy "O" is his cousin, Odella.
Jimmy hasn't made it back from the game last night...last reports have him just south of Escanaba!!
The Mustangs shook off their long bus ride by thrashing East Lapeer 3 - 0. Pilarski, Cicerone, & Cooney did the deed with the support of a whole cast of characters!
Whitney Sarkis continues her quest for a new school record for shutouts.
Yours Truly,
"O O"
Another Daily Planet Soccer Update! - 4/25/2008
Weep Wow! Mercy, Mercy !!!!
The Mustang offense is officially warmed up! The 10-2 'whoopin' of DC was shared by all. A hat trick by Mo Gibson would have made Mo Cheese proud. Stephanie continues her streak along with the dueling Danielles...Mazur and Kamenec. Tinnie, Ryan also added to the route.

The varsity saw some new faces last night...Caroline Bodya and Meredith Bakken who played admirably. The Mustangs future looks very promising.

Soccer update from the Daily Planet! - 4/23/2008
The Mustangs continue their "March to the Sea"! Stephanie Pilarski notched another game winner and "piling on" by Courtney Andries...assisted by a great cross from Anina C.
Einstein was right!....that relativity thing... Regina's field now looks pretty good and our field looks first class...almost! Jimmy "O"
Soccer's Daily Planet update! - 4/20/2008
There you go again!"....The Mustangs revenged their "Powder Puff" defeat of last Fall by putting the Hammer down on Regina...once again! Whitney Sarkis's diving saves would have made Clark Kent jealous! The "FAB FIVE", really SIX ( Stephanie Pilarski) continue to impress everyone. Stephanie leads the team in scoring by notching the winning goal. Regina's new soccer field makes ours look like one of the Ultimate Soccer fields. Their field is better suited for 6 v 6 . Jimmy "O"
Soccer news fresh off the press! - 4/17/2008
Direct from the "Daily Planet"!!..... Marian Mustangs are on a roll! Two weeks into the season and they are 4-0-1 with FIVE (5) shutouts....and the offense hasn't even got warmed up yet! The Mustangs are like shark teeth...with a player getting injured each game...a new player steps in to fill the void with no loss of momentum. A "long" bench is proving to be a great asset!
