LA 4, Clemente 0

Loyola beat Clemente in the first game of the Niles West Invitational Tournament 4-0. The pairings were adjusted so that LA won't face Catholic League foe St. Ignatius until the championship.
The first half was highlighted by a great save in the goal mouth by midfielder Dylan Remick, and the lone goal at the other end also by Dylan Remick.
The Rambler offense came alive in the second half once again, with goals by Aleks Urosevic, Tommy Belton and Spencer Remick.
The defense was strong throughout, trapping Clemente off-sides numerous times. An impressive goal line stand withstood six consecutive corner kicks at one point. The combined shutout adds to the resumes of keepers Jonathon McCoy and Harry Sullivan.
