Soccer: Holy Cross and Jesuit play to draw

Area Prep Soccer Report for Thursday, Dec. 29

A pair of traditional powers and a pair of traditional rivals hooked up Wednesday afternoon at John Ryan Stadium.

By game’s end, nothing was decided, except that both sides are good ones that should make deep playoff runs in their respective divisions.

Division II Holy Cross and Division I Jesuit played to a 1-1 draw in a closely contested match in the first for both in the Archbishop Hannan Tournament.

The Blue Jays scored in the first half on a goal by Carter Dusang before the Tigers got the equalizer on a goal by Aaron Jackson in the second half.
