Maliah Morris leads St. John’s girls’ soccer to comeback win over Paul VI

St. John's sophomore Maliah Morris is often harder on herself than anyone else, but first-year Coach Jess Baynton did offer this critique about the star of the Cadets' soccer team. Though Morris possesses deft dribbling skills, speed to spare and a powerful right foot, she can sometimes get caught between deciding to pass or shoot.

But Tuesday, with an opportunity to steal a result in a battle of Washington Catholic Athletic Conference unbeatens, Morris "knew exactly where she was putting that ball," Baynton said.

Morris's goal in the closing moments of the game delivered No. 3 St. John's a dramatic 2-1 win over No. 5Paul VI in Northwest Washington. The Cadets scored twice in the final three minutes of action after falling behind midway through the second half.
