Will Lehnherr and Jack Michie made the most of senior day for unbeaten Holy Angels.

The Stars’ senior goalkeepers combined for a shutout in a 1-0 win over Austin in Richfield on Saturday afternoon. 

Stars sophomore attacker Carter Hermanson scored the game-winning goal to avenge Holy Angels’ 1-0 loss to the Packers in last year’s Class 1A state tournament.

“It was tough losing in the third-place game like that, especially in the last 30 seconds,” Michie said of his team’s tourney defeat a year ago. “It was good to win today.”

Packers junior goalkeeper Casey Berg, who earned the 1-0 win against the Stars last year, posted seven saves in Austin’s loss Saturday.

First Report

Sophomore attacker Carter Hermanson scored the game-winning goal for Holy Angels, elevating the Stars to a 1-0 defeat of Austin in Richfield on Saturday afternoon.

The Stars (15-0-1, 6-0-1) avenged last year’s Class 1A state tournament loss to the Packers (11-2-2, 9-0-2) with the senior day victory, helping Holy Angels, ranked No. 1 in the Class 1A coaches’ poll, close the regular season with an undefeated record.

Goalkeeper Casey Berg, who earned the 1-0 shutout of the Stars in last year’s third-place game, had seven saves for No. 5-1 Austin in Saturday’s loss.

Hermanson’s goal came in the 62nd minute when he beat the Austin goalkeeper one-on-one with a top shelf blow. Stars senior midfielder Dominic Sobhani registered an assist on the tally.
