LYNN – The Marblehead girls soccer team picked up its first win of the season with a 3-1 decision over Classical at Manning Field on Tuesday.Marblehead had been 0-4-1 going into Tuesday’s game and faced a Rams team that was 1-7 at game time. Marblehead struck in the sixth minute. Haley Braun carried the ball down the right wing, beat the wing defender and crossed the ball on the ground to Emily Freedland, who had an open side and beat the Rams’ keeper Casey McNulty. The sophomore has been filling in for the regular keeper, Mackenzie Coppinger, who injured her ankle in practice just before the English game and has yet to return.McNulty made several nice saves, but in the 14th minute, the Magicians put their second goal on the scoreboard. Braun assisted on this goal with a beautiful through ball up the middle to a breaking Monica Thorne, who picked up the pass 10 yards outside the area, dribbled into the area and beat the keeper to the low left corner.For the remainder of the half, Marblehead kept the Rams penned up in their own half of the field. In the first half, Marblehead keeper Cassie Rodgers had no saves while Classical’s McNulty had six.In the second half, Classical was attacking Marblehead all over the field and it paid off for Jennie Erekson. In the 48th minute, she was in the right spot at the right time when the Magicians keeper misplayed a shot. The ball bounced to Erekson, who placed the shot perfectly and it went in over the diving keeper to cut the score to 2-1.The euphoria for the Rams wore off quickly as in the 54th minute, Freedland potted her second goal of the game with an assist to Kathryn DiGiammarino. Classical had the ball on its own end line and tried to clear it along the end line. DiGiammarino intercepted the clearing pass, and hit Freedland near the penalty spot with the pass. She had her back to the keeper, then spun and launched a blast that went in over the keeper’s head. This made the score 3-1, Marblehead. After the final whistle, the Marblehead players were celebrating their first win of the season.Marblehead coach Tracy DeLuca said, “We have been working very hard since the beginning of the season and it is now starting to pay off.”Marblehead’s record goes to 1-4-1 and its next game is with Danvers.Classical coach Kerri Altieri was upbeat despite the loss. She said, “We see some great improvement in the skill levels of our defenders. We make some great passes and carry the ball down the field and then it falls apart. They are getting much better. Mackenzie Coppinger, our keeper, has been out for quite a while. There are only two and a half weeks left in the season and she is still not game ready.”Classical is now 1-8 and will play Winthrop at Manning Field on Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
