Kamryn Morris of Shawnee traps a ball against Wapakoneta on Tuesday night.

SHAWNEE TOWNSHIP — Shawnee’s goal on Tuesday night was to put together a full 80 minutes against Wapakoneta.
It turned out to me more like a strong 79:55, because that’s how long they had a shutout intact against the Redksins.
Outside of a last-second goal off a free kick, the Indians played one of their most complete games of the season against Wapak and came away with a 2-1 win to stay in the hunt in the WBL standings.
“We’re always looking to be a tough competitor in the league and that was tough Wapak team tonight,” Shawnee coach Caroline O’Brien said. “I think our kids did a good job from back to front, putting everything together so we could come out on top.
“We kept good pressure in the attacking third and the defense collectively did well. Their assignment was to shut down two players specifically and I thought they did a good job of making a point of that right away.”
Wapakoneta’s Paige Olberding and Grace Burunfield were the top priority of Shawnee’s defense. Neither player scored and Wapak managed to get just three shots off. Mission accomplished.
Throughout the game, Shawnee turned defensive pressure into offensive opportunities. The Indians fired six shots on goal and took seven corner kicks.
Cece Schaaf found the back of the net on two separate occasions. With 8:54 left in the first half, Schaaf wrestled the ball away from Wapak’s Teagan Lawrence in the box and launched it past keeper Ellie Prenger.
At the 21:35 mark of the second half, Kamryn Morris found Schaaf with a pinpoint pass inside the box and she finished the job, making it a two-score game.
Lawrence netted Wapakoneta’s goal off a free kick with 0:05 left in the second half.
