Not even Mother Nature's adverse conditions could dampen the spirits of the nation's third-ranked soccer team on Saturday afternoon, as the Saint Ignatius Wildcats splashed through a torn field and shredded the nets for a 5-0 victory at Eastlake North.

In helping their team improve to 12-0, senior captain Ryan Ivancic and red-hot junior Matt Foldesy staked the 'Cats to a 2-0 lead in the first half. It was Ivancic's fourth goal on the year and Foldesy sent home his team-leading 11th score of the season.

North goalie Kyle Shockey rebounded from the early assault and was outstanding for the better part of sixty minutes. However, Saint Ignatius was able to take command down the stretch on goals by Nate Fahey, Preston Spurrier and Nick Shreve (a header). Junior goalkeeper Jackson Morgan recorded the shutout in what was his first varsity start.

Heading into Tuesday's home matchup with North Royalton, the Wildcats have outscored their opponents, 43-4.

Mike Watts '11 and Mark Szwejkowski '1 , whose kick-by kick and color commentary would bring a smile of approval from John Harkes, will provide live audio and video coverage of Tuesday's 8 p.m. encounter with the Bears.
