HAGERSTOWN — Bishop Walsh and St. Maria Goretti battled through two 40-minute halves but neither could crack the other’s defense and settled for a 0-0 tie in high school boys soccer on Saturday.
Bishop Walsh held a 19-14 edge in shots and both teams had four corner kicks.
It was the second shutout in as many starts for the Spartans defense.
“Although we didn’t score, we felt we put a lot of pressure on Goretti, and we were happy with the way the offense played,’’ said BW coach Joe Rowan. “The defense continues to be tough. We knew we would be strong on defense with all three defenders and our goalkeeper returning.”
Brandon Kimble made 12 saves in goal for BW and John Winalski had 10 for Goretti.
The junior varsity game also ended in a 0-0 tie. Lucas Bruck had 14 goalie saves for the Spartans.
Bishop Walsh (1-0-1) will host Pendleton County on Monday, in a varsity only matchup, at 4:30.
