Chasing history: Springfield’s own taking state by storm at Marist
BOB WILLIAMS / THE CHRONICLE. Cloe Chase, a Springfield resident who attends Marist Catholic, is one of the state’s top soccer players. Chase has 31 goals on the season – best in the state – and is 3 goals away from becoming the 15th athlete in Oregon history to score 100 career goals.
EUGENE – If the name Cloe Chase isn’t familiar, here’s a quick rundown of the senior Marist Catholic girls soccer star: 97 career goals; 31 goals in 11 games this season; defending Class 4A state champion; University of Oregon commit; Portland Thorns academy player.
Quite the list of athletic accomplishments for the Springfield native. And yet, perhaps her greatest asset is the ability to not let any of those achievements go to her head.
“As talented as she is, the most amazing thing about Cloe is that she’s incredibly humble. She’s the most humble person you’ll ever meet,” said Stefan Schroffner, Chase’s coach. “She’s the best athlete I’ve ever coached.”
Chase’s 31 goals through 11 games this season – all Marist wins – are the most in the state, regardless of classification. She is averaging nearly a hat trick per game.
“I always go into every single game with the mindset that I want to win, and I want to score. I have that game-winning mentality, and I want to show up and play my very best,” Chase said. “Even though (opponents) may have strategies, I want to go in making it seem like, ‘Oh, they don’t know who I am. I have something to prove.’”
