Gators place fifth at S&R Sports Invitational
Luke Weigle scored with 1:40 remaining to play, giving Sacred Heart Prep a 9-8 victory over West Catholic Athletic League rival Bellarmine in the fifth-place match of the S&R Sports Invitational at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center in Irvine on Saturday.
The Gators (10-2) beat Dana Hills 10-6 earlier in the day to advance into the fifth-place game.
Jake Tsotadze scored three goals to lead the Gators past the Bells. The same two teams meet at 6:30 p.m. for a WCAL contest hosted by Bellarmine.
“It should be a real barn-burner Wednesday,” SHP coach Brian Kreutzkamp said.
The teams have split their first two meetings. Bellarmine beat the Gators 11-7 in the semifinals of the St. Francis Invitational three weeks ago.
Neither team led by more than two goals during the contest. The Gators were ahead 8-6 before the Bells tied it with four minutes remaining.
Luke Johnston recorded a steal in the final two minutes that led to Weigle’s game-winner. Will Swart, who had two assists and drew two exclusions, had a field block and goalie Wyatt Stenson, who had 11 saves, came with a big save over the final 1:40.
Weigle added three goals and the Cardinal scored the first four goals in the win over the Dolphins. Johnston and Swart each scored twice.
