Freshman midfielder/attacker William Duddy posted two goals with an assist and freshman midfielder Daniel Murphy chipped in with one goal and two assists for Donovan Catholic, which trailed 1-0 after the first quarter.

In the next game, the Griffins dropped a 17-5 road decision to Lacey.
Statistically, Barber leads the team in goals scored with 15 and Schlendorf is second with eight.
