In a tightly contested season opener, the Mercy High School Marlins girls varsity soccer team drew 0-0 with the Bloomfield Hills Black Hawks on March 19, 2025, at Bloomfield Hills High School. The non-league matchup showcased an intense defensive showdown.
The most notable standout of the evening was Marlins' goalie
Jordan LeVasseur, who delivered a remarkable performance. LeVasseur was formidable, making a total of 11 saves, and was a key figure in keeping the game scoreless. Her aggressive play included several important interventions where she came off her line to claim balls and shut down potential scoring threats by the Black Hawks. This kind of defensive resilience highlighted why she is considered key for the Marlins.
Despite numerous opportunities on both ends, neither team could break the deadlock, ending the game in a draw. This leaves the Marlins with a seasonal record of 0-0-1. Moving forward, the Marlins will face Detroit Country Day on March 20, 2025, at The Hawk. The team looks to build on their strong defensive start and capitalize on offensive opportunities in their upcoming games.
