Ranked second in the nation by ESPN Rise, Saint Ignatius' varsity soccer team shook off some early offensive threats by the host Strongsville Mustangs and went on to a 4-1 victory on Saturday evening.

The Wildcats (14-0) took a 1-0 lead on an authoritative 12-footer by sophomore Tyler Sanda off a mis-defended corner and pushed their advantage to 2-0 on a goal by senior co-captain Yianni Sarris. It was Yianni's 10th goal of 2010.

Saint Ignatius took command in the final 10 minutes, as junior Matt Foldesy delivered his team-leading 13th net finder and Sanda followed with his second goal of the night. Strongsville is 10-2-2.

Up next for the 'Cats is Tuesday's 8 p.m. encounter with the Padua Bruins on Wasmer Field. The Wildcats will enter the game having outscored their opponents, 52-6.
