Soccer: Fenwick girls beat St. Mary’s in nailbiter

The Bishop Fenwick girls soccer team claimed a 1-0 victory over Catholic Central League rival St. Mary?s for the second time this season and once again, Jackie Edgett of Lynn provided a share of the heroics.
The game was scoreless midway through the second half when Edgett sent a perfect through-ball to Danielle DelTorto, who needed just one touch before burying her low shot just inside the far post. The game was played Monday in Peabody.
?It was an absolutely beautiful pass and an equally beautiful finish,” reflected Crusaders coach Karen Guillemette, whose team improved to 11-3 with the win.
Edgett scored on a penalty kick in the two team?s last tilt, a 1-0 triumph on Sept. 24 at Manning Field in Lynn.
Merry Harrington, made four saves in the shutout, none bigger than a deflection on a point-blank bid moments before the game-winner that was cleared off the goal line by an alert defender.
Harrington?s counterpart, Katie Donnelly played a fantastic game in her own right, making 18 saves to keep the Spartans (9-5-2) alive. Defenseman Meaghan O?Neill played a strong game in front of her senior net minder.
Both teams are back in action on Wednesday with St. Mary?s hosting Cardinal Spellman (4) while Fenwick travels to Austin Prep (4).
Saugus 1, English 0
At Saugus, both teams struggled a bit on offense, but the Sachems (5-8-2) got the game-winner midway through the second half on a free kick from freshman Olivia Tapley-Gately.
?We couldn?t come up with a goal when we needed one, but this was a terrific game that was fun to be a part of,” said Bulldogs coach Ed McNeil.
Seniors Taegon Nelson, Shanna Zeramby and Dayelis Sanchez played well for the Bulldogs (3-13-1), who finish their season with games against Revere, Classical and Everett.
Saugus is back at it today on the road in Swampscott (4).
Lynnfield 1, Rockport 0
