When Sacha Ogilvie started playing football in year two at Albany’s Yakamia Primary School, she did not imagine that the sport would one day take her half way around the world to Louisiana, USA.
19-year-old Sacha has been offered a place at Louisiana College as goalkeeper through the National Scouting Report (NSR) program and will begin in August this year.
The NSR is a program that gives young talented athletes the opportunity to advance their careers and education at American universities. Around 1,300 students nationwide were offered a place in the program this year.
Sacha’s football journey has not been a smooth one. Growing up, she attended a number of primary and high schools across the state, including Albany, Perth, Halls Creek, Broome and Kununurra, where she currently resides.
Throughout her school years, Sacha made football a priority. While living in Perth she played for East Fremantle Tricolore Ladies’ team and John Curtin College’s team. While living in Halls Creek she attended school in Broome so she could continue playing football. At other schools, when there were no football activities available, Sacha maintained her fitness with other sports including netball and touch rugby.
Two years ago Sacha suffered a stress tear in her knee and thought her time on the pitch was over.
“I fell into a rut. I didn’t think I could ever play like I had played before,” Sacha said.
“But my little brother pushed me to get back into it. I’m so glad I have.”
Soon after suffering her injury, Sacha received an opportunity from a US college through the NSR program, but she could not accept the offer. Now, after surgery and months of rehabilitation, Sacha is ready to continue her football career.
“I really want to turn my life around, to go further with my soccer,” Sacha said. “This is my big opportunity.”
Sacha will return to Perth from Kununurra this month to receive technical coaching and match practice before her trip to the States.

QUEENS PARK CLINCH WOMEN’S NIGHT SERIES FINAL
FOOTBALL WEST MEDIA RELEASE
Queens Park have emerged victors of the Consolidated Energy Women’s Night Series final with a 1-1 (3-4) win over NTC on Friday night.
Both teams went into the game undefeated and were forced into a penalty shootout after finishing regular time with one goal apiece.
It was Queens Park who proved to be the more composed team, converting all penalties into scores, while NTC were unable to match the effort.
Winning coach Ben Anderton reinforced how proud he was of his team’s efforts in the lead up to the game after losing a match in similar fashion last year.
“We did practice during the week a little bit of penalties because we knew there was a possibility it could come up against a good team, but it was good after a heartbreak last year with a penalty shootout to step up and be composed,” he said.
The game proved to be one well worthy of a final, with both teams fighting out the first half with full intensity.
Queens Park’s Tia Stonehill looked dangerous with her speed on the right wing, while NTC’s Liana Cook was a spearhead in her team’s attacking ranks.
Stonehill assisted in a number of created chances in the first half, while Cook managed to hit the crossbar with one attempt and looked threatening on several occasions after that.
Both teams went into the half-time break at nil-all, but Stonehill charged through the NTC defence to put Queens Park ahead by a goal only 20 seconds into the second half.
Substitutions were made by each playing group midway through the term, and the extra run allowed Cook to collect a parried ball from the opposing goalkeeper for an easy conversion with 15 minutes left in the game.
With scores locked at one goal each at full-time, the teams went to penalties.
NTC began proceedings, with both teams converting their first shots. Queens Park goalkeeper Maya Diederichsen stuck to the middle of the goal for the second shot by her opposing team, which she saved.
NTC’s third shot sailed over the crossbar, and Queens Park were able to convert their fourth attempt to seal the win.
NTC coach Jessine Bonzas said she was extremely proud of her team and that despite the loss, the effort puts them in good stead for the upcoming season.
“They’re all a little bit gutted and they’re all going to feel it, but I’m extremely proud of them for playing this well,” she said.
“They stuck with each other tonight, it was a great team atmosphere.
“We’re looking forward to the NTC challenge in July, the program just gets stronger, and it’s just a great opportunity for these girls.”
The Bankwest Women’s State League season commences on April 23.

South Melbourne FC is excited to confirm that Australian Football icon, Olympian and current Matilda Lisa De Vanna has joined the club.
De Vanna will have a dual role with club, where she will immediately join our NPL Victoria Women’s team for the 2017 season. She will also take up a newly formed role of Women’s Football Ambassador at the Club, which will allow her to work with the club on numerous and exciting projects relating to increasing the profile of women’s football at our club and throughout the country.
De Vanna is a household name with football fans across the world through a career spanning 11 years across England, Australia and the United States.
The attacking player however is best known for her long and decorated career with the Australian National Team, The Matildas. With 121 international caps and 40 goals to her name, she remains only 2 goals behind Kate Gill to become Australia’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Speaking at the SMFC Jersey Night, De Vanna was excited to have joined the club. “It’s wonderful to have joined a club with great history and ambition.
I am looking forward to playing a role on the park throughout 2017, but assisting the club in its goals off the park promoting women’s football and assisting young players achieve their dream. Thank you to Gabrielle Giuliano and Socrates Nicolaides for this wonderful opportunity.”
SMFC Women’s Football Director Gabrielle Giuliano was pleased with her acquisition. “I am delighted that Lisa has joined SMFC as an ambassador for women’s football. Whilst still focussed on her national journey, South will partner with her to help transition into her future after football. From a capacity of mentoring, coaching and identifying upcoming talent, this partnership will help propel us to the next level.”

Soccer veteran off to Auckland for World Masters Games
ttp://www.communitynews.com.au/…/soccer-veteran-off-to-au…/
PENNY Hoath will write a new chapter in her decades long history of representative soccer when she jets to Auckland for a second World Masters Games at the end of the month.
Hoath dropped hockey in favour of soccer when she was in high school and has never looked back.
“Hockey was my game until I saw (Argentine international) Diego Maradona playing – I thought he was so cool and soccer was so exciting so I switched,” she said.
“Melville was my first club back in the early days when I was the baby of the team before I moved away for university.
“Now that I’ve moved back into the area I’m back with Melville, where I also coach my daughter Rose Maree in the Under-11s.”
Hoath made her debut for WA as a 17-year-old and has travelled across Australia and the world to play soccer nearly every year since.
“I’ve been part of both 11-a-side and Futsal squads for WA and played all over Europe,” she said.
“In 1993 I was vice caption for the Australian team at the World University Games in Canada where we got whooped by retired American star Mia Hamm and a team full of Chinese internationals.”
Four years ago Hoath played in her first World Masters Game in Italy, helping her WA side reach the knockout stages of the tournament.
She said the Games promoted participation just as much as competition but admitted the WA Black Swans were out to win.
“We have an amazing spread of players – international players, state team players and some players who have come out of retirement,” she said.
“There are some of us who are pretty competitive and we still play at a high level, a handful of us are still running around in the State League women’s competitions with the 16 and 17-year-old spring chickens.”
Hoath will be joined in Auckland by her daughter Rose Maree and said her focus would shift to junior coaching following the World Masters Games.
“I get as excited about coaching as I do about playing, which I’m starting to do less of,” she said.
“Rose’s fixtures are at the same time I would normally play but coaching is my priority this year so everything else is on the backburner.”
Fundraising to help cover the costs of the WA teams travelling to New Zealand for the World Masters Games is ongoing and anybody interested in contributing can contact Penny Hoath on 0408 921 832.
The World Masters Games run from April 21 to 30.
