For the second time in as many days, the Crusaders (7-6-3) and Marauders (13-1-2) met, this time in the Catholic School Championship. Monday's game went a bit differently than the day before, as St. Joe's was able to capitalize on power-play opportunities, putting them up early.
After scoring their first power-play goal, senior forward Jack Lalley again got the puck at the top of the faceoff circle and score on a shot that beat Canisius goaltender Ryan O'Donnell glove-side, to give the Marauders a 2-0 lead. Lalley would go on to be named the game MVP.
Senior forward Luke Pierce added another goal before the end of the second when senior defenseman Seth Glanowski threw a puck on net that Pierce tipped into the back of the cage. Glanowski put the final nail in the coffin when a shot from the point found the back of the net to give St. Joe's their final goal.
Canisius eventually buried one with 5:47 left in the period as defenseman Kevin Bennett got his stick on the puck during a scramble in the crease. The referees disallowed the goal, signifying how the day went for the Crusaders. The victory for St. Joe's was their third straight divisional title and 16th overall.
