4:45 p.m. V Women's Soccer vs St. Maria Goretti HS
Mercersburg opened the 2008 campaign with a workmanlike victory over defending Maryland private small schools state champion St. Maria Goretti. Wynn Holzwarth'11 scored 15 minutes into the game with an unassisted shot on goal, and the Storm ultimately took the 1-0 advantage into halftime. Ana Kelly'11 added a second goal off a cross from Holzwarth with 12 minutes remaining to seal the win for the hosts. Rachael Porter'10 and Bailey Blake'11 combined in goal for the shutout.
"It was a good first contest for us. We've got a mix of young and veteran players and we're starting to see them come together," commented coach Jason Bershatsky, who recorded his first victory as the new head coach of the women's soccer program.
