Performance of the Week: Troy's Olivia Jasniewicz
April 11, 2025
Olivia Jasniewicz ♦ Troy
Junior ♦ Soccer
Jasniewicz scored the go-ahead goal as Troy defeated reigning Division 1 champion Rochester Adams 2-1 on April 3, not only giving the Colts an early advantage in the Oakland Activities Association Red race, but also avenging Troy's overtime loss to Adams in last season's Regional Final. Jasniewicz sent home an Ava Fleming pass with 16:27 to play to put their team ahead for good.
A forward and midfielder, Jasniewicz made the Division 1 all-state first team last season as Troy finished 14-2-3 and won the OAA Red title. The Colts are 4-0-1 this season and No. 3 in Division 1 in this week's first rankings of the season, just ahead of Adams at No. 4. Jasniewicz moved to Troy from Canada a few years ago and played volleyball and basketball for Troy earlier this school year after growing up also competing in cross country, swimming and track.

Be the Referee: Soccer Disallowed Goal
By
Sam Davis
MHSAA Director of Officials
October 21, 2021
Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Soccer Disallowed Goal - Listen
A soccer team is racing towards the opponent’s goal, and after a couple of nice passes, they find the back of the net for a one-nothing lead.
As soon as the goal celebration starts, the coach of the team that scored excitedly motions for one of his players to come off the field. The assistant referee sees and hears this and counts the number of players on the field – and he realizes that the scoring team had 12 players on the field at the time of the goal. What’s the call?
The referee should disallow the goal because there were too many players on the field, and re-start the game with a goal kick by the team that was scored on. The extra player on the field receives a yellow card, and the score is back to 0-0 … or nil-nil.
