Farmington Hills – On a rainy Saturday afternoon, Marian High School battled its way to a Catholic League field hockey championship, beating out Mercy High School for the win by a score of 2-0.

The Mustangs completed the semifinals and finals – played on the same day on Mercy’s athletic field — without giving up a goal. Marian senior goaltender Brenna Baron recorded both shutouts.

The tournament started out with Marian edging Academy of the Sacred Heart 1-0 in the first matchup. Senior Marisa Opie scored the lone goal in that contest, just after halftime. Mercy blanked Ladywood 1-0 in the second semifinal matchup, with sophomore Maddie McClain putting in the lone score. Mercy goalie Clarissa LeVasseur, a junior, earned the shutout.

In the finals, co-captain Janie Obee scored the first goal for the Mustangs on a penalty corner — which wound up being the game-winner.  Senior Sarah Michalski put in an insurance point in the second period.

Individual honors were handed out at the tournament, as well.

All Catholic honors were given to Marian’s Kathleen Bergman; Colleen Jacoby of Cranbrook Kingswood; Donna LaPointe of Regina; Mercy’s Madeline McClain and Ally Shrader; Kylie Birney, Erin Cronyn and Devin McParlane of Ladywood; and Mary Liesveld, Kathryn Mezwa, Anna Pearson and Christine Zessin of Academy of the Sacred Heart.
