Shiller’s three goals pace Garnet Valley to win over Marple
Garnet Valley’s girls soccer team celebrated the life of a former captain prior to a 3-0 victory over Marple Newtown.
Alicia Babiak, a 2005 graduate, died suddenly four years ago. To honor her memory, Garnet Valley each year votes on which player will wear Babiak’s No. 16 jersey. This year it’s All-Delco Carlie Shiller, who netted three second-half goals in Tuesday’s match, the fifth annual game in Babiak’s memory since she passed away in Aug. 2016 at age 28.
Alyssa Wert added two assists and goalie Kayleigh Saboja earned the shutout.
