The St. Mary’s boys soccer team continued its winning ways on Monday evening, taking down Arlington Catholic, 5-0, at Manning Field. Chris Garcia led the way with two goals, while Joseph Thongsithavong had one goal and two assists. Nolan Perez and Nick Pappas also scored goals in the win, while Olu George and Matt Connolly had assists. Senior captain goalkeeper Richie Mateo recorded his fourth shutout of the year.
“We did a good job on both sides of the ball today,” said St. Mary’s coach Mike D’Agostino. “Defensively we pressured the ball and only allowed one or two shots, and on offense we grabbed the momentum and ran with it from the beginning. It was a very solid performance by us.”
The win puts the Spartans at 6-0 on the young season, and D’Agostino thinks the team is hitting its stride.
“We’ve got a lot of talent here and everyone plays hard,” said D’Agostino. “So it’s very exciting at this point and we should be able to continue this. Hopefully we can keep riding the momentum throughout the rest of the season.”
