The Lady Cadets (1-12, 1-6 Monon) traveled to Danville High School to start their 2025 IHSAA Sectional matches. The Cadets first opponent was the last opponent they played in the regular season, the Northview Lady Knights. Cascade has had some time off since their last game with Northview to try and recover from their season of misfortunate injuries. At the low point of the season, the Lady Cadets were practicing with as few as 8 players. On a cool, breezy October night, the Lady Cadets positioned their 10 starting players on the pitch with the intent to delay the Northview offense as much as possible and then attempt an aggressive counter attack that would hopefully yield a goal. Northview took possession of the ball at the start of the game and managed to put an excellent shot just wide of the Cadets goal. This shot would be one of many good scoring opportunities for the Lady Knights in the opening minutes but none of the shots found the back of the net. The opening score of the game would surprisingly be done by the Lady Cadets when Autumn Chattin took a free kick from about 30 yards out. The well struck shot ricocheted off the back of one of the Northview Knights defenders and into the goal. This was Autumn’s first goal of the season. After the quick boost of energy, the Cadets held off the Northview scoring for another 10:00 minutes and maintained the 1-0 lead. Once Northview finally tied the game up at 1-1, the Lady Knights found another gear of effort and energy and poured the scoring into the Cadets goal. The Knights would score 3 goals in the last 15:00 minutes of the first half and take a 4-1 halftime lead. As the two teams switched ends, the Lady Knights now held the downwind advantage and pressured the ball into the Cadets defensive third for most of the second half. The Cadets did manage three shots on goal in the second half but that number was dwarfed to the nearly 20 shots that the Knights took. In the end, the Knights added three more goals to their 4-1 lead from halftime and the game ended in a 7-1 defeat for the Lady Cadets. The 7-1 loss for the Cadets finishing their injury ladened season with a record of 1-13. The Lady Knights (7-8-2) advance into the semifinals against the Lady Warriors from Danville on Thursday night. The Lady Warriors defeated Edgewood 4-1 in the highly anticipated opening game of Sectional 27. Game Summary 1H 2H Final Cascade 1 0 1 Northview 4 3 7 Goals/Assists: Autumn Chattin (1) 32:15
