Once again, this game will decide the district championship--I don't know how many years back you'd have to go to find a year when that wasn't the case. It's a massive game for the playoff seeding race. Numbers guru 3balz can fill us in, but his most recent projections from last week suggested that MCA could grab the #2 seed with a win, while Dominican could move up to #3. Getting to #3 would be huge for either team since it means avoiding top-ranked Northshore until the finals. And getting #2 means hosting a semifinal game and no chance of traveling to Mandeville.

MCA will get #2 with a win or tie. MCA loss moves MCA to #4. Dominican gets #2 with a win. Dominican loss or tie moves them to #4. This assumes Dominican wins their final vs Ben Franklin and Mandeville cancels both the Teurlings game and the Loyola games. |

Will be anyone’s game. Whatever team wants it more. Rivalry, big crowd ... should be a good one.

Good sized crowd. Lots of pregame tailgating in the parking lot. Cool, clear day with the sun going down soon. Cross breeze coming in from the west.

MCA throw left wing. DHS heads clear and maintains possession.
MCA gets it back, beautiful through ball to 22 who takes a touch but good work from the defenders to win it back.

DHS 13 barges MCA in the back. FK and a lecture. 40 yards out. 7 shoots, a little too high. Might've had the keeper beaten if she could've snuck it under the bar.
