DANVERS, Mass. — In the latest chapter of one of Massachusetts’ most storied rivalries, St. John’s Prep utilized a stifling defensive effort to defeat Catholic Memorial 2-0. In a game defined by elite goaltending at both ends, the Eagles found the back of the net midway through the second period and added an empty-netter to seal the deal.
St. John’s Prep (12-2-1) has relied heavily on its veteran blue line this season, which once again proved impenetrable under pressure. The loss for Catholic Memorial snaps a five-game win streak but confirms their status as a legitimate contender for the MIAA state tournament in March.
