The Big Macs took control from the start, scoring in the first minute of the game, and never looked back. Taking advantage of numerous Wildcat penalties and dominating the time of possession, Canon-Mac was relentless in its attack and keeping Greater Latrobe at a distance from its goal.
Evan Crompton was very strong on face-offs and also contributed a goal in the victory. The Big Macs next game is on Wednesday, April 3, as they travel to J.C. Stone Field in North Park to take on Aquinas Academy.
