ALTHOFF CATHOLIC 4, FATHER MCGIVNEY CATHOLIC 0
Earlier this season, back on Aug. 28 when McGivney hosted Althoff, the Crusaders narrowly won by a score of 2-1. That was after the Griffins scored first.
The Griffins were kept off the board in the two teams' second meeting in Gateway Metro Conference action Tuesday night.
This loss comes after back-to-back shutout wins for McGivney, including a solid 1-0 win against Mascoutah, but now the Griffins fall to 3-7-1 as its brutally tough schedule continues.

Reid Heffren, Gibson Hunt, Tanner Martin, Lance Stauffer, Wyatt Suter, and Landon Travnicek each scored as well.

It was another stinging loss for the Eagles, giving up the game-winning goal in the final minute of regulation while on the road.
Chase Rottmann and Camden Neal exchanged goals in the first half, but it was Kannon Creamer's last-ditch effort that sealed the deal to pick up the Mississippi Valley Conference win for the Indians.
Mascoutah improves to 5-5-2 on the season while the Eagles drop to 7-5.
