SLSG ECNL-RL Missouri October Recap

St. Louis, MO - The St. Louis Scott Gallagher (SLSG) ECNL RL Missouri Program wrapped up October, arguably the most hectic, and most successful month of the season. With an overall record of 12-4-1 (W-L-T) totaling 37 points, the players and staff had much to smile about and celebrate.

The HS aged teams “kicked off” October by participating in first ever RL Regional Showcase at Rockford, IL. In true ECNL fashion, the league put on a great event. The atmosphere, fields, and competition all supported the hype that the players were anticipating since the events announcement last Spring. RL Director Maggie Richard was really pleased with the standard set for the first ever event. “Our teams competed and showcased themselves to several college coaches that attended the event. We couldn’t be more excited for the future events of the ECNL Regional League.”

On the 10th of October, the entire RL - MO program had a fantastic set of games scheduled in Rantoul IL. Steve Pecher, RL’s youngers coach, was incredibly pleased with the overall performance of the six teams. “It’s about this time of year that our players start to show some fatigue, there are other types of commitments that pull kids away from games, and little injuries start to creep into the mix because of the weight of the competition the girls are participating in each weekend. So, for us to go on the road and perform excellent at all six ages is impressive and we are really proud of the girls.”

The following weekend, (Oct 15-17) RL 07 thru 03 began its quest for the Missouri State Cup, hosted at the Creve Couer Soccer Complex. Again, the performances / results on the weekend supported the “successful” month. Some of the finishes? Well, the 07s had a fantastic run all the way to the final where they ran into and even hotter MO Rush RL squad. And the talk of the town turned out to be the U19 SLSG 03’s, who finished bracket play with three well deserved wins. This placed them in the final as well, where they met the talented SLSG Bayern Munich team coached by Tony Kuster. After a very back and forth hard-fought battle between the two teams, the SLSG 03s were crowned state champs! Richard, again, could not say enough about the performance of the team. “I couldn’t be prouder! In the buildup to the Cup, every time the team stepped on the field, the girls showed that they were playing for one another, I really do feel this is a special ‘team’. Again, I couldn’t be prouder of this group.” The win places SLSG 03s in the Regionals that will take place in June in Indiana.

And finally, to close out the month of October, the RL teams hosted there last set of home matches for the 2021-2022 ECNL Regional League season. The games, hosted at Soccer Park in Fenton, were against two competitive clubs; Rockford Raptors RL and FC Wisconsin RL. It turned out to be an explosion of offense for SLSG, boasting a total of of 14 goals that day that resulted in 11 points for the program. The next day was much the same, knocking another 14 goals into the net and earning a “sweep” on the day. Lauren Nuelle, RL-MO Staff coach was incredibly impressed with the teams on the weekend. “The SLSG ECNL RL teams overall went 8-2-1 (W-L-T) for the weekend, which is an awesome record, but more importantly, from my perspective, I was really pleased with how the teams shared the ball and enjoyed each other success around the goal. It’s always just a little more fun to be on the field when the teams are unselfish and working hard for each other.”

RL – MO & RL – IL are both entering the “Showcase Phase” of its seasons. The programs will be hosting college coaches at training as well as participating in local and national showcases.
