Wounded Eagles Achieve 5-0 Shutout

Without two injured starting forwards and no team substitutes available for the second straight game, the girls soccer team took the field at The Christian Academy in Brookhaven, PA on Thursday afternoon. Regular defensive back Juliet Pollock again started up on the front line and had an incredible game scoring two goals and assisting in two additional goals. Megan Lutes, still suffering from a knee injury, went down early in the game and was unable to play most of the first half. She was replaced by Dominique Lieze who although not a member of the team again offered to suit up and play if needed. Megan was able to return to the game for the second half, then went on to score two goals. Marissa Capello earned her first assist of the season and Mary Byarm also scored. Keeper Kayla Jenny, still suffering from an elbow injury, provided strength in the mid-field while Missy Civile started her fourth straight game in the net. Missy did a fantastic job and truly earned the shut out making multiple saves, even during the final moments of the game. The defense, led by stopper Grace Delonis, played with heart and determination and is congratulated on achieving their second shut out of the season.
