Girls Soccer

The St. Clement Girls Soccer team improved their overall record to 3-6 by shocking Catholic Central League rival Pope John High School 4 to 1. Sophomore standout Taisha Dupree continued her impressive start to the season scoring two goals. Senior captains Jessie Jepson (Somerville) and Maria Martinez (Medford) each scored a goal as well to pace the anchors. Next up for the girls was Lynn Technical High School. This game was a hard fought game by both teams. Sophomore goalie Krystal Coccimiglio made some phenomenal saves to record yet another shutout. But Krystal would not have been able to do this without the help of sophomore sweeper Amanda Andre (Medford) who was able to hold off almost all of Lynn Techs offensive attacks with a stellar defensive performance. Sophomore Taisha Dupree (Everett) scored the lone goal for the anchors. Unfortunately the Lady Anchors ran into a tough Innovation Charter School to end the week. But the girls are looking to keep improving as they have every week so far this season under the tutelage of veteran coach Kevin Conlin.
