They started arriving on the St. Mark’s campus early, fans eagerly awaiting the renewal of the Holy War, the football game between the Spartans and longtime rival Salesianum. The outcome wouldn’t change much as far as tournament seedings were concerned, but that is normally secondary in this series. The Sals scored early, building up a 26-0 halftime advantage on the …

I knew then the rain-drenched conditions at the “graveyard” would play a pivotal role in the semifinal between Wilmington Friends and St. Mark’s.

Saint Mark’s avenged last year’s loss in the state championship to Caravel with a 2-1 victory to capture the 2022 DIAA Division II girls soccer state championship.
