Behind the first career varsity goal for eighth-grader Riley Maguire, the St. Mary’s girls soccer team earned a 1-1 draw with Arlington Catholic on the road Thursday afternoon.
Senior captains Susannah Cornell, Julia Nickolau and Eliza Brown all played well in the draw, as did junior Meghan Lovett.
“I thought we played really well and it was a great bounce-back after a tough Fenwick game the other day,” said St. Mary’s coach Jim Foley. “We play in a good league and we’re tested every night, so to come out and perform well after a tough loss was very good to see.”
St. Mary’s (3-4-2) returns to the field Saturday morning (9) against St. Joseph’s Prep for its Senior Day.
