JCA stymied by Marist's rally

Pullara scores on assist from Alvarez for Hill


October 11, 2007

JOLIET -- Marist's highly-regarded boys soccer team was too much for Joliet Catholic to handle Wednesday afternoon -- but not until the game's final 15 minutes in a 2-1 East Suburban Catholic Conference decision.

The visiting RedHawks spotted JCA (9-5-4, 3-5) a 1-0 lead midway through the second half when Hilltopper senior Jon Pullara connected off an assist from junior Antonio Alvarez.

Marist was finally able to get on the board and tie the game at the 65-minute mark and then pushed across the eventual game-winner with less than nine minutes remaining.

"Marist is a quality team," said JCA coach Chuck Bernard. "They are as good as anybody we have played all year."

JCA sophomore goalkeeper Mike Williams had 11 saves. The Hilltoppers are off until opening state tournament play against Lincoln-Way East next Wednesday at the Class AA Lincoln-Way Central Regional.
