The No. 14 NJCAA Division II Knights lost this past Saturday 7-0 to Division I No. 8 Monroe College at CCBC Essex Stadium. It’s the first time this season Essex was shutout and their second straight home defeat.
From the opening whistle, Monroe (4-1) controlled the tempo of the game. The Knights (5-2) had a good opportunity in the beginning of the first half, but Mustangs goalkeeper Stefane Rosa made the save. CCBC Essex had only a handful possessions in the first half, but Monroe’s technical skills thwarted most scoring chances.
The Mustangs played simple and technical throughout the match, using the width of the field and feeding players wide to create space for its midfielders. Monroe found the back of the net three times in the first thirty minutes of play. Each goal was created through great build up play and slotted home for easy finishes.
Perry Hall High Grad Kara Dietrich came into the match with 19 goals this season. Monroe limited the Knights top goal scorer to a season-low two shots on goal. Dietrich tried to create chances for her team throughout the match, but the Mustangs defense defended the opportunities well.
Essex back and Perry Hall grad Aya Neal was one of the Knights stand out players of the match. The sophomore led the back line vocally and her strong defense play frustrated the Mustangs. Despite the final score, Neal showed determination and began playing up in the attack to create goal-scoring opportunities.
The last four goals of the match were conceded midway through the second half. Two of the tallied came from Luana Grabias who finished with hat trick, having scored once in the first half as well.
Despite conceding seven goals, Knights goalkeeper Sydney Baker (Glen Burnie, Md.) played admirably, tallying seven saves. Monroe finished with 25 shots, 15 on goal.

The Baltimore County Police Department will participate in several events and activities planned for the second annual National Faith and Blue Weekend scheduled for October 8-11. Faith and Blue Weekend is endorsed by every major law enforcement group and police department, and has been embraced by religious communities nationwide.
Chief Melissa R. Hyatt has invited Baltimore County faith-based organizations to participate in this initiative, which is organized jointly by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS office) and Movement Forward, Inc.’s OneCOP initiative. “Despite numerous pandemic-related challenges last year, the inaugural Faith and Blue Weekend was extremely successful in Baltimore County. This initiative is based on the foundation that strong communities are built on mutual respect and understanding. Our faith-based partners are pillars in our communities and when we all work together there are long lasting, positive effects,” said Chief Hyatt.
Faith and Blue provides an opportunity to reinforce connections between law enforcement professionals and the communities they serve through the reach of houses of worship. Neighborhoods are safer and stronger when law enforcement and faith-based organizations work together around our commonalities instead of being divided by our differences.
The following is a list of events that are scheduled throughout Baltimore County. These events involve people of all ages including those that were specifically designed for youth, as well as a diverse collection of religions and congregations.

The NJCAA Division II No. 1 ranked Knights lost their first match of the season this past Saturday to Division I No. 11 Monroe College 6-2 at CCBC Essex Stadium.
Toga Katsuma (Honshu, Japan) and Henry Ortiz (Mount Airy, Md.) scored the Knights only goals of the game.
CCBC Essex set the tempo first, retaining possessions the most and looked like the better team for the first ten minutes of play. The Knights (5-1) missed a header off the post just three minutes into play on what proved to be their best opportunity of the first half. Monroe (3-1) settled into their tactics and the momentum started to shift.
The first goal of the game came in the 26th minute of play after Monroe’s Liam Murray connected on a free kick.
Only one more goal was scored in the first half that came just before halftime in the 43rd minute off the foot of Ivan Silic. CCBC Essex conceded four goals in the second half, three of which were within six minutes of each other between the 72nd and 78th minutes of play.
Katsuma and Ortiz scored just 26 seconds apart with ten minutes left in the match. Katsuma is tied for the team lead with four goals and Ortiz is tied second with three.
Knights sophomore goalkeeper Brendan LeMaster (Bowie) was tested throughout and finished the game with eight saves.
