Jeremy Kirkwood scored his second game-winner of the week as the top-ranked McDonogh boys soccer team beat Centennial, 2-1, on Friday at the McDonogh Challenge.
In the first game, Archbishop Curley beat Perry Hall, 1-0.
On Wednesday, Kirkwood scored the game-winner in double overtime against No. 2 Mount St. Joseph, and the Eagles (5-0) won 1-0.
Mamadou Kansaye gave McDonogh a 1-0 lead at the 25-minute mark of the first half Friday. Centennial cleared the ball with three minutes left in the game, and McDonogh goalie Matt Sanchez knocked the shot down and was charged with an own goal.
McDonogh won the faceoff, and Kirkwood scored the game-winner with a minute left. Lucas Winters and Jake Weiner each had assists for McDonogh.
"We dominated play but couldn't score," McDonogh coach Steve Nichols said. "Their keeper played well. The conditions were horrible, windy and rainy. And we lacked a little bit of urgency."
The McDonogh Challenge pits private schools against public schools. Today's games will be played at Loyola College with Curley facing Centennial at noon and McDonogh playing Perry Hall at 2 p.m.
