Westphal turns in special performance in Knights' upset win By Brady Oltmans, as published by Lincoln Journal Star , April 22 , 20 16 A hundred minutes and six total penalty kicks since the opening whistle, Corby Westphal stood on his line . The crowd stomped in the cement bleachers of Seacrest Field. Would this be the final kick or would the agony continue for another round? It was another quality chapter in the Lincoln Southwest - Lincoln Southeast rivalry. A stop on this kick would name th e chapter after Westphal. The junior goalkeeper dove to his right. Cole Quandt’s kick in the fifth round of the shootout followed him. Westphal turned it away to seal Southeast's 2 - 1 upset of Class A seventh - ranked Southwest. Lincoln Southeast coach Micha el Rozsa paused in the celebration. Westphal’s performance was special for a lot of reasons. “My two varsity goalies are out of town,” Rozsa said. “Corbyn is our starting JV keeper. ... He’s one hell of a goalie.” So Westphal earned the start in his first varsity game. And in the 20th minute he was in a tough spot. After a foul in the box, Southwest’s AJ Wiley stepped up to the penalty spot. He calmly slotted the ball opposite Westphal and the Silver Hawks went up 1 - 0. Jonathan Killingsworth did his part t o help the first - time starter when he slid past the Silver Hawk defense, beat the keeper and ran the ball in with 1:23 left in regulation. The last - minute goal came on a furious run, a desperation attempt to stave off defeat. “When you have your opening, you need to take that and Jonny did that,” Rozsa said. “He saw the opening, took the chance and scored on it.” Déjà vu arrived in extra time. A handball from Southeast 100 seconds into extra time sent Wiley back to the penalty spot. Westphal stood on his line assured. Wiley went to the same side Westphal dove before. Westphal scouted him, followed his hips, and blocked the shot. “I kind of got some advice from my teammates,” the goalkeeper said. “They told me he (Wiley) likes to alternate. He went right t he first time and I went left. Second time I went left and saw his hips turn then I got it.” No team netted a winner in extra time so the rivals went to penalties. Wiley again stepped to the spot in the first round of the shootout. He struck the ball to h is left. Westphal dove the same way and turned it away. The two sides went back and forth until Southeast gained the advantage. Southwest needed to score the next penalty to prolong the match. As Quandt backed away from the ball to take his kick and Westp hal stood on his line, time seemed to stop. Quandt’s shot went toward the net but Westphal lunged his body in the way. A guiding moment for a mourning teenager. Just a month ago Westphal’s mother, Rebecca, passed away after a long battle with cancer. Sout heast volunteer assistant Chris Rajala described the young goalkeeper’s save as “a transcendent moment." Westphal seemed stunned after making the final save. No yelling, no waving, just a walk toward his teammates who were sprinting at him. That’s when the Southeast crowd began chanting “Corbyn! Corbyn! Corbyn!” Looking back at it, all Westphal could say was “that was awesome."
