North Central captures

first title in shootout

For the first time, an IHSAA soccer championship match went to a penalty kick shootout as North Central of Indianapolis earned a 2-1 victory over Andrean at Kuntz Memorial Stadium in Indianapolis.

Freshman Bridget Buschuk's blast past the Andrean goalkeeper on the final penalty kick gave North Central a 4-3 edge in the shootout and the victory. North Central goalkeeper Kirby Zwickel made two consecutive saves on Andrean's third and fourth attempts before North Central took the lead on Elizabeth Davis' kick which made it 3-2. Andrean's Sara Butterworth tied it at 3-3 before Buschuk's clincher.

Both teams were making their first appearance in the state finals. The match ended regulation knotted at 1-1 and stayed that way through two seven-minute overtime periods before the penalty kick shootout decided the match. Butterworth got Andrean on the board first at the 15:59 mark of the first half with an assist by Becky Degnan. Carolyn Riggs tied the game at 1-1 with 16:24 remaining in the match on a breakaway from Amy Pike. It was Riggs' 35th goal of the year and her second of the state finals. Pike had three assists in two games of the state finals.

For North Central (21-1-3), it was the school's 46th IHSAA state championship. Only Carmel, with 63, has more. Andrean finished with 19-5.

Custer named Mental Attitude Award recipient

Elizabeth Custer of North Central High School in Indianapolis, was selected by the IHSAA Executive Committee as the recipient of the 1999 Mental Attitude Award in Girls Soccer.

Custer was the defensive leader for the Panthers this season while leading North Central to its first state finals appearance. In 1998, she was an All-State selection.

Academically, Custer rates in the top 10 percent of her senior class of 656 students with a 4.09 grade point average. She was an Academic All-State selection in 1998 and 1999. She is a member of her school's National Honor Society and German Club.

The award is presented annually to the senior who best demonstrates excellence in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability. Farm Bureau Insurance, the corporate partner of the IHSAA, presented a $1,000 scholarship to North Central High School in Custer's name.
