Cards Continue Win Streak

9/24/2008

WASHINGTON- Matt Brady's (Woodbridge, Va./Potomac) goal with
just over 7 minutes left in the second half gave Catholic
University (6-1) the edge over visiting Merchant Marine Academy in
an emotionally charged match-up Wednesday afternoon.

The Cardinal offense immediately took charge of the game, as
Brady recorded the first goal at the six minute mark. CUA furthered
their lead with beautiful header by sophomore Kevin Duffy (Marlton,
N.J./Bishop Eustace), assisted by Michael DiMarco (Vorhees,
N.J./St. Joseph's Prep). The Cards continued to stifle their
opponents on the defensive end, holding them scoreless for the
entire first half.

Back-to-back goals by Merchant Marine forward Kyle Luetjen
put the Cards in a 2-2 draw with the Marlins. It looked as though
the teams would be forced into an overtime period when Brady,
weaving between Marlin defenders, scored his second goal of the
evening, giving the Cardinals the 3-2 advantage.
