PHILADELPHIA –
Ned Lewis' (London, England/Hayesbrook) 66th minute goal was the only score in the HFU men's soccer team's 1-0 shut out of St. Thomas Aquinas on Wednesday evening at Tiger Field.
Dimitri Lekishvili (Aspindza, Georgia/192 Public School) picked up his first point as a Tiger on the goal, dispossessing a defender and dribbling into the box before finding Lewis at the top of the box for a composed finish into the lower left corner.
Lewis is now tied for the team lead with four scores on the year.
Bruno Mestres (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Mackenzie Tambore) made the final of his seven saves three minutes later to preserve the shutout for his first career victory at Holy Family.
Playing defensively in the shutout were
Bogdan Stere (Bucharest, Romania/Lycée Français Anna de Noailles),
Sean McKenna (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge),
Ricardo Paniccia Giraldez (O Porriño, Spain/IES Pino Manso) and
Jarrett Lalli (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan).
