Girls soccer battles past Spellman<br />
By Anne Marie Tobin<br />
PEABODY — The <strong>Peabody</strong> girls soccer<br />
team picked up a hard-fought 2-1 win<br />
over visiting Cardinal Spellman Monday<br />
morning at Coley Lee Field to sweep their<br />
season series.<br />
<strong>Peabody</strong> launched a season-high 18 shots<br />
in the game, and also held a 8-1 advantage<br />
in corner kicks, much to the delight of coach<br />
Dennis Desroches.<br />
“While we did beat them 2-0 last time,<br />
they had a 7-1 edge in corners and definitely<br />
out-shot us, and we were back-pedaling on<br />
defense, and I thought it was more like we<br />
were playing not to lose, so were lucky to<br />
win that one,” Desroches said. “Today, we<br />
got off to a great start but they came at us,<br />
but we hung tough defensively and in the<br />
middle. We didn’t back-pedal at all really<br />
and I loved that we got off so many shots,<br />
which we have been working on. My favorite<br />
shot was by Emily McDonough<br />
when she turned and just got off a rocket.<br />
It didn’t go in that time, but the fact that she<br />
stepped up and took the shot is just what we<br />
need to do.”<br />
A couple of freshman rookies supplied<br />
all the offense the Tanners needed.<br />
McKayla Fischer put the Tanners on top<br />
in the fifth minute of the game. Fellow<br />
freshman McDonough kept the ball alive<br />
in the offensive zone, then Fischer blasted<br />

McKayla Fischer put <strong>Peabody</strong> on top 1-0 in the fifth minute of Monday’s win<br />
over Cardinal Spellman.<br />
a high shot just under the crossbar to make<br />
it 1-0. <strong>Peabody</strong> doubled the lead to 2-0 on<br />
a goal by Ava D’Ambrosio with 8:19 left in<br />
the first half. Seconds earlier, sophomore<br />
Amber Kiricoples launched a shot on goal<br />
from about 30 yards out. Spellman keeper<br />
Laura Sexton made the initial save, but the<br />
ball popped loose, right to D’Ambrosio,<br />
who was streaking into the box, unmarked.<br />
With Sexton down and out, D’Ambrosio<br />
drilled the ball into the open net for the<br />
score.<br />
The Tanners lost a great opportunity to<br />
build the lead when they had a corner kick<br />
late in the half, but were unable to take it<br />
before the half-ending whistle sounded.<br />
Spellman cut the deficit to 2-1 <strong>10</strong> minutes<br />
into the second half, but <strong>Peabody</strong>’s defense<br />
slammed the door shut the rest of the way.<br />
“This was an incredibly important win<br />
for us with a tough, monster schedule ahead<br />
of us,” said Desroches.<br />
“We have Danvers, Beverly and<br />
Swampscott coming up and also Tewksbury,<br />
whose only loss of the season was to North<br />
Andover, which still is undefeated. The way<br />
SENIOR LIVING DIRECTORY<br />
the little freshmen controlled the middle for<br />
us today was huge.<br />
“Today McKayla made great decisions<br />
with the ball and distributed the ball so<br />
well, and she also was winning the 50-50<br />
balls and kind of reminded me of Emily<br />
Nelson the way she was so effective in the<br />
middle as was Sam Simmons, who is only<br />
a freshman. Aja Alimonte moved back to<br />
her usual spot at stopper and played fantastic,<br />
and with the rest of the back line of<br />
fullbacks junior Colleen Crotty, freshman<br />
Meghan Billingsley and sophomore Jordyn<br />
Collins they all played outstanding, and junior<br />
Shelby Doucette in the goal was also<br />
solid, so it was a great win.”<br />
<strong>Peabody</strong>’s next game is Friday, Oct. 12 at<br />
home against Swampscott (4).<br />
<strong>Peabody</strong> 5, Somerville 0<br />
At Dilboy Stadium Oct. 4, the Tanners<br />
improved to 5-3-1 with a shutout win.<br />
Doucette made five saves and got strong<br />
support defensively from freshman<br />
Billingsley, Collins, Crotty and Simmons.<br />
Offensively, the Tanners were led by<br />
sophomore Bridget O’Connell, who netted<br />
two goals and notched one assist. Fischer<br />
and sophomore Haley Baker also had<br />
multiple-point games with Fisher scoring<br />
a goal with one assist and Baker notching<br />
two assists. Alimonte and McDonough also<br />
scored<br />
