Saints rally
Pathfinder 1, St. Mary’s 0
St. Mary’s fell just shot in their attempt to knock off first place Pathfinder. The Saints had numerous chances, including a late flurry in the second half, but the ball stayed perilously out of the net.
St. Mary’s suffered a bit of misfortune as well when a potential goal was taken off the board by a controversial call. Allie Goodreau appeared to have scored off a great feed from Erin Olearcek, but the referee felt the goalie had been run into and goal was wiped out.
“I am proud of the girls,” St. Mary’s coach Patrick Olearcek said. “That Pathfinder team is deep and experienced and we went toe-to-toe with them. We just seem to get some bad breaks and our shots were just a bit off, but our effort was outstanding.”
St. Mary’s goalie Jess Crosby finished with 21 saves.
Caroline Leahy, Madie Donais, and Mary Turbolski also had strong games for the Saints.
