Boys Soccer Playoffs: Brother Martin battles Jesuit in rematch among locals seeking to advance

Boys Soccer Playoff Report for Wednesday, Feb. 6

Been there, done that.

Catholic League rivals Brother Martin and Jesuit are accustomed to seeing each other in all sports. That includes at least twice annually on the pitch.

Make that three times this season.

The No. 15 Crusaders will try second-seeded and defending Division I state champion Jesuit for a third time this year Wednesday evening at 6 pm at John Ryan Stadium.

The Blue Jays defeated Brother Martin 3-0 at John Ryan Stadium on Jan. 19 and tied the Crusaders 0-0 on Nov. 24 at Houma.

Jesuit (20-0-6) has not lost this season while giving up just six goals. The Crusaders (9-5-3) advanced with an easy 6-0 victory over No. 18 Barbe in the opening round. Brother Martin last beat Jesuit 1-0 in 2016.
