5/16/2018 - CHSL Semi-Final CARDINAL MOONEY - 0 at SHRINE - 5

The Cardinals just couldn’t find the firepower to match Shrine in the CHSL Semi-Final march. After holding Shrine entering the first half down 1-0, Mooney played the entire second half down a player due to illness. Holding the Knights off the scoreboard the first 10 minutes of the second half, the heat and fatigue kicked in and became too much to overcome. “We were one mental mistake on a corner kick from playing them straight up in the first half. They couldn’t find the goal due to our defense. We tried to take some chances offensively in the second half and Shrine was able to find some opportunities to exploit that.” Said Mooney coach Frank Schodowski. “The girls can hold their head high. At full strength we know we can play with any team. It’s hard enough to compete with quality teams like Shrine with a full roster, but with a player down the second half, we really were on our heals just trying to survive.” The girls look to finish their regular season with a non-league match against Richmond this Monday as they prepare for the state tournament. “We have a good chance to make a deep run in the state playoffs. If we can stay healthy, I expect a great finish this year.” Said Schodowski.

4/11/2018 - CARDINAL MOONEY - 1 at WATERFORD OUR LADY OF THE LAKES - 2

The Lady Cardinals fell to defeat against the Lakers in a hard fought match Wednesday night. Mooney put up a gallant fight playing 2 players short the entire match entering halftime with a 1-1 tie on a free kick goal from JR Casey Rice. “It was the type of game that defines teams and seasons. Regardless of the result, our team came together and grew stronger tonight. I’m very proud of their effort today” said Mooney coach Frank Schodowski. The Cardinals will look to rebound against Allen Park Cabrini on Saturday, April 21st in their first home match.

4/10/2018 - CARDINAL MOONEY CATHOLIC - 3 at RIVERVIEW GABRIEL RICHARD - 1

JR Casey Rice led Cardinal Mooney to victory against a talented Gabriel Richard team that proved to be Mooney’s toughest test yet.

JR Lauren Luzynski broke a 1-1 tie with a goal in the second half. Mooney coach Frank Schodowski praised the defensive effort of Megan Kammer, Angelina Gabryel and Rebekah Kehoe. “Our defenders were the difference in neutralizing some very talented players over there - we made it very difficult for them to penetrate our backline” said Schodowski. Cardinal Mooney has opened the season with 4 straight road game wins and looks to play Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes on Wednesday.

Cardinal Mooney Head Coach Frank Schodowski praised the attacking style of play - “We were able to find several opportunities to penetrate their back-line in transition, allowing us several break away chances that we capitalized on early in the match. The speed of our attacking midfield and forwards were the difference today”. Coach Schodowski also noted the stellar play of SR Goalkeeper Caitlyn Downey, “She was a wall in front of our goal that took the steam out of our opponent - stopping several break away shots early in the match”.
