WESTFIELD – Two Tri-County powers, St. Mary’s and Hampden Charter School of Science, collided in an early week Whip City showdown.
HCSS rallied from a 1-0 first half deficit, scoring four unanswered goals to down St. Mary’s 4-1 Monday at Westfield Intermediate School.
Allie Goodreau scored the lone St. Mary’s goal. Emma Goodreau assisted. HCSS responded with four straight goals from Madison Sheehan.
“We started strong and opened the scoring but they had an elite player who scored all four of their goals, despite being marked,” St. Mary’s coach Pat Olearcek said.
Amelia Willenborg (8 saves) and Jess Crosby (5) split time in net for St. Mary’s.
“It’s a tough loss but I think it’s a good learning experience as well on what we need to work on,” coach Olearcek said. “I think the girls will bounce back strong on Wednesday.”
St. Mary’s returns to action Wednesday against Duggan Academy at Westfield Intermediate School on Southampton Road.
