Posted on 04/21/2025

Ionia girls varsity soccer defeated Portland by a score of 1-0 on Monday night. Ionia created many chances and held the possession throughout the entirety of the game but the score held 0-0 at halftime.We continued to be patient awaiting a breakthrough goal. Halfway through the second half, Ava Benedict would receive a nicely played ball through the defense by Bailey Hewett and would put the ball in the back of the net. Ava would record the only goal and Bailey would record the only assist on the night. Our defense was exceptional for the entire game, allowing just 4 shots, and only 1 on target for the entire game. The entire back line of Josie Lee, Katie Leonard, Isabelle Vasquez, Maddie Lemke were outstanding, and Bailey Hewett would fill in on some of the defensive work throughout the game. Kaylynn Doty recorded the shutout in goal, her third of the season.Ionia's record stands at 5-5 and will play Lansing Waverly on Thursday, with a 7 pm varsity kickoff. Jv will kick at 5:30

Ionia girls soccer hosted their first ever tournament on Saturday morning. We welcomed in Comstock Park, Ithaca, and Ottawa Hills to our tournament.Ionia played Ithaca in the first game of the tournament. Ionia won the game by a score of 8-0. 2 goals were scored by Ava Benedict, and solo goals scored by Ebony Williams, Isabelle Vasquez, Natalia Magallon, Katie Leonard, and first career goals scored by Josie Lee and Kaylynn Doty. Collecting assists were Tessa Masengale, and Taylor Browne. This was a well balanced team victory to start the tournament off.Ionia would then face Comstock Park in the championship. Our defense was stout for the entire weekend, allowing just 4 shots on goal in both games combined. We would hold Comstock to 0 goals, and despite generating 8 shots on goals of our own, and attempting 6 corner kicks, we weren't able to score a go ahead goal. Thus left the game ties 0-0 at the end of regulation and sending the game straight to a penalty kick shootout. Addison Bowne
