Scoreless Match Is Still Eventful

Two shots by St. Francis High players hit the goalpost during overtime of a scoreless Mission League match Saturday against host Harvard-Westlake.

The match was not without excitement throughout.

Ben Cahan of Harvard-Westlake (7-5-2, 2-3-1 in league play) was briefly knocked unconscious following a collision with a defender in the penalty box, St. Francis Coach Glenn Appels was ejected in the 30th minute for yelling at an official, and Chris Mazzone of St. Francis was red-carded after a rough play.
