In the girls matchup, Carlynton had several attacking opportunities early but could not break through before Sophia O’Brien launched a ball behind the Crusader line and Riley Mauro calmly slid it past the Bishop Canevin goalie for a 1-0 Carlynton lead.
The Cougars struck again a few minutes later when Mauro scored her second goal of the game. This time Gigi Choate started the attack with another pass behind the Crusader defense that Mauro was able to blow past the Bishop Canevin goalie, giving Carlynton a 2-0 lead that stood up through the remainder of the first half.
In the second half, the Cougars picked up where they left off in the first half, displaying solid possession and ball movement. They sealed the win with a late Choate goal off a corner kick from Bella D’Antonio.
