Loyola 8 - JCWP 4

6 first half goals by Loyola proved too much to overcome. Goalie and player of the game Sean Sullivan counted only two counter-attack goals, the rest were half-court, three of which came in the first 3 minutes of the first quarter.
Loyola had bigger and stronger players than even Mundelein, so it would have been hard to execute a press. After the first three outside bullets by the two studs on Loyola, the Cats really clamped down defensively. Goals came more from Loyola's good plays than Cat errors. Most impressive was the shutout in the third quarter with Loyola shooting deep.

The Jungle Cat offense was the best it had been all summer as our spacing was tremendous as we moved the ball down to the wing. Drivers found themselves either ball-side with a man on their back or open weak-side after picks and we had many open looks. I think the fatigue of the 4th game in 24 hours caught up to us as open shot went wide or at the goalie, mostly due to lack of kicking up.

The biggest weakness of this team right now is 6-on-5 as we had mutliple oppportunities (as well as two 6-on-4 chances) with zero conversions.

All-around a very good game and we head into the game against New Trier with a chance for second place.
