Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin boys soccer celebrated its six seniors with a 4-0 victory over Holy Name on Tuesday, Oct. 6, combining a balanced offensive attack with a strong defensive performance in North Coast Conference action.
The evening provided an opportunity to recognize Marco Leccese (#16), Jakob Henderson (#17), Angelo Preziuso (#18), Cullen Purcell (#19), Brendan Rand (#22) and Jason Rossi (#35) for their dedication, leadership and contributions to the NDCL boys soccer program.
The Lions delivered a fitting performance for the occasion, scoring twice in each half while keeping Holy Name off the scoreboard.
Junior Ante Susnjara led the offensive effort with two goals, while juniors David Lann and Dario Musa each added a goal. Junior Nico Amoroso contributed two assists, and sophomore Eli Lauric recorded another.
NDCL established a 2-0 advantage in the first half, giving the Lions control of the match heading into halftime.
The offense continued to produce after the break, adding two more goals to extend the lead to 4-0.
Defensively, the Lions completed the shutout behind senior goalkeeper Jason Rossi, who recorded four saves. The clean sheet provided a memorable Senior Night moment for Rossi and his classmates as NDCL secured the conference victory.
Beyond the result, the evening celebrated a senior class that has contributed to the program through its commitment, preparation and teamwork. Their influence extends beyond individual performances, helping establish the standards and expectations that will carry forward with the next generation of Lions.
The victory gave NDCL an opportunity to recognize those contributions while continuing its late-season preparation.
The Lions return to action Thursday, Oct. 8, when they host Andrews Osborne Academy.
