For the first time since the school opened in 1845 and moved to Towson 115 years later, Calvert Hall will host an athletic event under the lights on campus. The Cardinals will play the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A conference soccer semifinal at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 5. The game will be against the winner of Friday’s game between Mount St. Joseph and Archbishop Curley.

Calvert Hall athletic director Lou Eckerl said President Brother Thomas Zoppo decided to look into having a night event at Calvert Hall so more parents would be able to attend, especially with daylight savings time. Zoppo decided that a soccer playoff game would be good to determine the positives and negatives of hosting games in the evening. The school is renting the lights for the game.

The Cardinals (10-5) entered the MIAA playoffs as a No. 2 seed, earning a first-round bye. Calvert Hall is seeking its first title since 2003.
