WESTFIELD – It was not for lack of effort.
St. Mary peppered the McCann Tech goalie with 22 shots, and allowed just seven shots against in the second half but fell short 3-0 in a high school girls’ soccer game Monday at Westfield Middle School North.
“We just couldn’t find the back of the net,” St. Mary coach Andy Lussier said.
Mary Turbolski, Lexi Shedd, Bella Scarpa, and Madie Donais delivered a solid effort in the midfield. Sam Manchino, Jenna Turrini, Caroline Leahy, and Erin Olearcek took away several McCann scoring opportunities, and controlled movement throughout the midfield.
Allie Goodreau, Lexi Shedd, and Chloe Lussier made great passes and put good shots on net.
“Our failure to capitalize on those opportunities was just frustrating,” coach Lussier said. “I’m really proud of this team and the progress that they have made this season.”
St. Mary goalie Aisling Butler finished with 17 saves.
