NOTES: Michael Dufour worked more state final magic as St. Paul's defeated Baton Rouge Catholic 2-0 in the title match to clinch a perfect season. Dufour assisted on the first goal and scored the clincher in the closing minute as the Wolves extended their win streak to 40 matches. Last year, Dufour scored all three goals in the team's state final victory. He''s been the state final MVP the past two seasons. It's no surprise that St. Paul's rolled through Louisiana, but its defining results were against out-of-state teams. The Wolves defeated Florida 5A champ Tampa Jesuit 5-1 and twice defeated Mississippi 6A champ Ocean Springs. St. Paul's also defeated SIMA FAB 50-ranked Naples (Fla.) and Florida Class 7A state semifinalist Lakewood Ranch. |
