Three games removed from their hard fought battle with rival St. John the Baptist, the Friars continue rolling following a 9-1 road victory over St. Mary’s, where seven different players scored.

Tallying five goals in the first half, St. Anthony’s (7-0, 3-0) captured a 5-0 lead as senior midfielders Greg Mallia and Karl Rumph, Anthony Escamilliari, senior forward Matt Barry and junior defender Tyler Botte scored.

Escamilliari tallied again in the second half, along with Kyle Restivo another junior varsity player, who also scored twice. Senior midfielder Mike Valencia also scored in the second half as St. Mary’s put past a Friar keeper.

Though happy his team won coach Gene Buonaiuto said: “We have some tough games ahead of us,” including an Oct. 7 rematch with St. John’s.
