+1 For SHP and Menlo School in WBAL
Menlo's Tim Costa had an outstanding day in goal during the last match.
The Menlo boys’ soccer team waged a 0-0 tie with host Sacred Heart Prep in a West Bay Athletic League match Friday.
Both teams added a point, keeping a five point distance between the teams. Menlo is 4-1-3 (15 points) in league and 7-1-5 overall with six league games remaining. SHP holds a 6-0-2 WBAL mark (20 points) and is 9-0-4 overall. The King’s Academy topped Crystal Springs Uplands on Friday to move to 5-1-1 (16 points).
It was "a very competitive and spirtited Menlo performance," Menlo coach Mark Arya said. "Both teams had a couple of scoring chances, but defensive play on both sides was excellent.
Timmy Costa in goal had one of his best performances of the year, while our two central midfielders of John Strong and Kyle Perez worked the whole match running our offense, creating chances and establishing our first line of defense."
