The 2008 soccer season started for St. Mary’s with a pair of games with Mt. Anthony on a rainy Friday afternoon.
The boys team lost 5-1 to the visiting Patriots. Justin Lynch kept the game close in the first half with some amazing saves. The Eagles lone goal was scored by Alex LaBarge off a lovely pass from Drew Phillips. The score at half was 3-1. Evan Phillips played exceptionally well for the Eagles on defense, but the Patriots kept up the pressure in the second half and scored two goals to ice the game.
The girls team fared much better winning 7-0. Grace Delurey, Alice Hayden and Alyssa Girodano all netted two goals each. Casey Legg tallied the other goal. Mary Peters, Nicole St. Onge and Julia Baker did a great job at defense preventing the Patriots from getting any sustained pressure on St. Mary’s goal. Oliva Schnieder recorded her first shut out as goalie.
