We really tried to defend their high-powered offense and limit their scoring chances, said Ryan of St. Johns (8-3-3), which has outscored opponents, 35-11.

With nine minutes remaining, BC High won a free kick just past the halfway line in the Pioneers half. Senior Malcolm Flaherty stepped up and delivered a long lofted ball into the box, which Wolf powerfully headed into the back of the net for his third goal of the season.
