Lady Irish fall to St. Dominic
Posted by Coach T under: Irish Soccer .
The match began in a cold, steady rain as Catholic squared off with the defending state champion for the right to advance to the final four. The Irish began with great intensity and generated several decent chances in the first 20 minutes maintaining a significant presence in the Crusader half. Defensively Catholic was able to contain St. Dominic and limit their scoring opportunities. The game winning goal came from Signe Novak in the 52nd minute when she knocked a loose ball just inside the right post from the left side of the penalty area. Brittany White added an insurance goal in the 66th minute. Catholic seniors Tara Bailes and Anne Prenger were superb in the final game of their Irish careers. Their spirit and intensity spread throughout the team as the girls played one of their best matches of the season against the state’s #1 ranked squad.
