Marathon match ends in draw for Delco Christian, Notre Dame

Delco Christian and Notre Dame are two teams that played well enough to win Wednesday afternoon. Alas, it’s soccer, and there’s not always a winner.

The Knights and Irish battled a 1-1 draw that ended after two overtime sessions. Phoebe McClernon scored way back in the first half for Notre Dame, while Julia Kyne netted the equalizer 15 minutes in the second stanza.

Freshman Faith Warmhold and Ronnie Marie Falasco split time in goal for the Knights, recording eight saves apiece. Jess Freeman and Kailey Neff shared the assist on Kyne’s goal.

Paige Thompson, Claudia Norton and Brenna Richards all performed spectacularly in the backfield.
