BULLDOGS KICK ASIDE KENNEDY 4-0

O'FALLON -- Notre Dame High's boys soccer team defeated John F. Kennedy 4-0 Monday in the first round of the St. Dominic Tournament.

Notre Dame, which will face Clayton in Wednesday's semifinal action, improved to 15-2-3 on the season.

Zach Miller provided the only goal the Bulldogs needed just nine minutes into the game off a pass from Oliver Sanders. Notre Dame took the 1-0 lead into halftime.

Jonathan LeGrand deposited a Jason Garner pass one minute into the second half and Sanders later upped the lead to 3-0 as Tommy Wencewicz assisted on the goal. Zach LeGrand completed the scoring on a penalty kick.

Colin Vandergraaf made several tough saves to record the shutout.

"That was probably the shakiest our defense has played in a while and Colin really picked them up," said Notre Dame coach Brad Wittenborn. "That was probably the best I've seen him play."
