It was a matter of a few mistakes here and there that made the difference. I thought Gavin Connors really came to play today, and it showed with his 43. The Saints outgolfed us today.”

GIRLS SOCCER
Athol’s Emma Goodreau nets four goals; Amelia Willenborg posts shutout
St. Mary’s 4, Athol 0
Emma Goodreau continued her torrid scoring pace for St. Mary’s, netting all four goals in a road shutout. Lillian Nadler had two assists and Kailyn Cabrini added one. Saints’ goalie Amelia Willenborg made 10 saves.
“It was a solid win for us tonight,” St. Mary’s girls soccer coach Patrick Olearcek said. “This was a long trip up there and we were sluggish in the first half but we played very well in the second half and received contributions from the whole team.”
“We have core players like Emma Goodreau, Macy Woodger, Lillian Nadler, Kailyn Cabrini, Aiden Levesque, Emma Bialas and Amelia WIllenborg, whom we rely on a great deal, especially when we are shorthanded four players it seems like every game,” Olearcek added. “The other girls stepped up though as the game went on. That’s the key for us to be successful.”
St. Mary’s improved to 5-1.
