Holy Cross Prep Beats Delran 2-0 to Avenge Earlier Loss

Kajkowski decides the attacking moments

Harlow Kajkowski was central to both goals. She scored the opener before creating the second for Ryan Curcie, providing the decisive contributions in a match where Holy Cross converted its pressure into a two-goal lead.

The balance between scorer and creator mattered. After Delran had won the earlier meeting by a single goal, Holy Cross produced a more controlled response and avoided allowing the contest to become another high-scoring exchange.

McComb protects the advantage

Maddy McComb made five saves to preserve the shutout, denying Delran a route back into the game after Holy Cross moved ahead. Her clean sheet turned the attacking edge into a complete result.

Delran goalkeeper Cailey Czaplicki also kept the margin under control, making 10 saves despite Holy Cross’s pressure. The figure underlines the workload required to keep the deficit at two goals and prevent a wider defeat.

A meaningful response in the rivalry

The reported result leaves Delran with a record of six wins, three losses and one draw. More importantly, Holy Cross showed it could adjust after conceding three times in the previous meeting.

For Holy Cross, the next challenge is carrying that defensive discipline and attacking balance into its next BCSL Liberty fixture. Delran, meanwhile, will need a response of its own after failing to score and losing the rematch.
