On Wednesday, February 6th, Jesuit welcomed Franklin to their home turf for Jesuit’s final regular season game of the season and for Senior Day. In the 5th minute someone on Jesuit took a dangerous strike at goal that was blocked out to Cole Barrett who took a mash at the ball, taking a deflection off a defender’s back and bouncing in. In the 16th minute, Julian Churchill passed it across to Cole on his right who hesitated with the ball right in front of goal for a minute and then, in his signature way, played it back perfectly to Julian who put it in. In the 21st minute, Christian Honig scored a header off a corner. Now the goals were flowing. A minute later, Elijah Beverley played a simple ball to Jake L’Ecuyer and another goal was tacked on. In all this excitement, only a minute after the last goal, Franklin got a penalty kick in the box and, Frankie Turnbull saved the upcoming shot with a full body on the ball as it went at the low right part of goal. The seniors were really showing out.

Half Jesuit 4, Franklin 0

As the second half began, the second-string lineup was implemented to get some necessary experience, and they did not disappoint. In the 46th minute, Gustavo Levenfeld tossed up a beauty of a corner kick into the heart of the box, and Dono Carrillo put a smashing header into the back of the net. In the 60th minute, Elijah smacked in an ugly, but effective, finish. In the 65th minute, Alex Petty scraped a shot in past the unsuspecting keeper, winning his way out of a quickly oncoming defense. To put the icing on the cake, in the 77th minute, season latecomer Lucas English hit an upward floating right-footed slice into the goal in a bit of style. The game ends 8-0. As Jesuit Soccer comes pretty near to the end of their season, with just playoffs left to go, today was a day to recognize the Class of 2019 seniors, who will be gone soon but forever living in Jesuit soccer history. Jesuit ended the regular season with a strong 19-2-3 record.
