The St. Martin's Kingfishers defeated Notre Dame de la Salette 38-25 Saturday as part of a two-game weekend.
La Salette went on to beat SLUH 64-0 on Sunday.
The Kingfishers game was controlled by La Salette early on, with the Lions holding possession for the majority of the time deep in Kingfishers territory. It looked like it might be a long day for St. Martin's as the Lions used their superior size to threaten the line.
St. Martin's defended with bravery, and finally got the ball turned over, allowing flyhalf JP Van de Ryt to boot the ball down the field.
Van De Ryt did that all day.
With that, Kingfishers was able to press their advantage. Freshman wing Max Gallo opened up the scoring after a nice sequence of phases left St. Martin's with numbers on the outside and he finished in the corner. Danny Dziak converted—he was 5-for-5 on the day.
Shortly thereafter Dziak slotted a penalty goal from 35 meters out to make it 10-0. Kingfishers kept it up and Van de Ryt scored to make it, with Dziak's conversion, 17-0.
But La Salette wasn't out of it. A yellow card for a high tackle against St. Martin's at the end of the first half and the Lions took a penalty goal to get some points on the board.
After the halftime break La Salette was ready to take charge. They added another penalty and then a try made it 17-13.
