SMA Girls Capture Second Soccer Win 

The St. Mary’s Academy girls soccer team has started off the season 2-0.  Their first win was against Mt. Anthony in which the Eagles outscored the Patriots 7-0.  On Wednesday, September 17, St. Mary’s again held their opponent, New Lebanon, scoreless, winning 4-0.  In that contest, seventh grade goalie Olivia Schneider had 10 saves in recording the shut out. SMA goals were scored by Alice Hayden, Ashley St. Onge, Grace Delurey and Casey Legg. Mary Peters, Julia Baker,  Anna Restino and Erin Murdock shut down the Tigers offense all day long. Mauve McAuliffe and Maggie Murdock made their first starts at midfield and performed very well.

On September 17 the Eagles’ Boys team also traveled down Rt. 22 to play at New Lebanon. This first road trip resulted in a loss for the boys. The Eagles fought to a 1-1 tie at the half, but the undermanned Eagles seemed to lose their legs at the beginning of the second half. They gave up three unanswered goals in the first few minutes of the  half. They rebounded gamely over the last 15 minutes scoring another goal and only giving up a very late goal near the end of the game. 

Drew Phillips had an assist and a goal while Alex LeBarge netted another goal to bring his season total to two in two games. Ryan Toto and Evan Phillips played another awesome game in the fullback slots. Justin Lynch, Nate Winchester and Anthony Chapones tried to control the midfield under the constant pressure of the Tigers. Keenan Morioraty recorded 13 saves in front of a very busy goal.

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.
