  Soccer

  
  On Tuesday September 2nd, the Varsity soccer DONS made the short trip across the beltway for a matchup with the Concordia Prep Saints. The Saints proved to be a less than worthy foe as the DONS opened up a 5-0 first half score cruising their way to victory. Redemption was on the minds of the DONS as Concordia surprised last year's group, defeating the Blue and Gold 1-0. Senior EJ Southerland led the scoring with 2 goals, with Diego Hernandez, Baber Toure, and Brayden Kowalik each adding one goal. It was a great team effort as all of the boys participated in the victory.

  Friday, September 5th, the Varsity Soccer DONS welcomed the Cavaliers from Archbishop Spalding to Connor Field. Despite controlling the action for much of the contest, the DONS were unable to capitalize on some point-blank scoring opportunities, and the Cavaliers took advantage of an early goal escaping West Towson with a 1-0 win. The defeat is the first of the year for the DONS and puts them at 2-1 overall.
  
  

  The boys will return to action on Friday when the face John Carroll on Connor Field. Game time is set for 6:00pm.
  
  

  Football

  
  After a stellar performance last Friday in Scranton Prep, the Varsity Football DONS once again hit the highway travelling to North Bethesda for another clash between Jesuit Schools taking on the Georgetown Prep Hoyas. The offense had a rough first half, turning the ball over four times but the defense was stout only allowing a touchdown on Georgetown Preps first possession of the game. Sr. Brayden Pross (10 receptions, 199 yards) scored Loyola's first points when he hauled in a 10-yard strike from Sophomore QB, Carlos Spencer. The DONS would go into halftime tied with the Hoyas, 7-7. The boys hit the field in the second half with a new energy, setting the tone early and putting on a dominating performance. Junior Carston Brown put the game away with 2 touchdown receptions in the 3rd quarter, while the defense continued their stellar performance, not allowing the Hoyas

  to gain any momentum. Jr. DE, Sam Lavin, came up big when the DONS needed a play on defense. Sam helped control the line of scrimmage and was in the Georgetown Prep backfield all night. QB, Carlos Spencer put up quite the stat line completing 35 of 48 pass attempts for 478 yards and 3 touchdowns. The DONS took home the victory, 20-7. Their record stands at 2-0.
  
  

  On Saturday, September 13, the boys will try to make it a Jesuit sweep as they host the Eagles from Gonzaga College High School. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00pm.
