Tuesday afternoon as junior forward Matt Brady

corner with 59.8 seconds remaining in the game.
Catholic (7-1) posted a 1-0 lead at 27:03 as junior midfielder

fired in a shot from the top of the box into the upper left corner
after receiving a pass from sophomore defender Tim
Brady (Howell, N.J./Christian Brothers).
The Cardinals held on to their 1-0 advantage for the remainder
of the relatively quiet first half.

cards were issued, including four in the final nine minutes of the
match. Catholic also had one player ejected for fighting,
leaving the Cardinals shorthanded for the final 8:27 of the game.

from fellow classmate Brian Payne (Baltimore,
Md./Calvert Hall) who had received a quick, short pass from
freshman forward Ted Scharfenberg (Holbrook,
N.Y./St. John the Baptist).
The equalizer came at 76:49 when freshman defender Drew
Gainey (Mechanicsville, Md./Chopticon) volleyed in a long
pass from the 50 into the box where senior Cyrus
Albertson (Chevy Chase, Md./St. John's College [D.C.])
flicked it past sophomore Quinn Daly (San Diego,
Calif./St. Augustine).
Shots for the game were even at 16 apiece, while Catholic held a
5-2 margin in corner kicks.
