Junior attackman Mac Bulloch scored a game-high four goals to lead unbeaten New Orleans Jesuit to a 10-7 victory over Loyola-Shreveport in a Louisiana High School Lacrosse League game Sunday afternoon in New Orleans.

Senior attackman Louis LaCour added a co-game-high four points on three goals and an assist, junior attackman Bryan Kitto scored two goals and dished an assist and senior middie Ian Diament finished with a goal and an assist to help the Blue Jays (5-0) win their fifth straight to start the season.

Defensively, junior goalie Stephen Baay saved 18 shots.

“We’re really excited,” New Orleans Jesuit head coach Mike Brantley said. “We don’t want to let it go to our heads, because we still have a long way to go this season and playoffs, and Loyola’s a great team. It’s a good Jesuit rivalry.”

In a losing effort, senior attackman J.T. Terzia and freshman attackman Austin Melson each scored two goals and added an assist, and senior goalie Chris Melson saved 17 shots for Loyola-Shreveport (4-3), which had its four-game winning streak snapped. The Flyers finished the weekend 3-1 on their four-game road trip to the southern part of the state.

"They played great," Loyola head coach Mike DeVita said. We were tired, and we just shot ourselves in the foot with penalties in the second half and weren't able to recover."

In a rematch of last year’s first-ever state championship game and a match-up between the state’s top two teams, New Orleans Jesuit took an early lead and then regained control after Loyola had come back to draw level.

The Blue Jays led 3-1 at the end of the first quarter, the game was tied, 4-4, at halftime and New Orleans Jesuit led 8-6 at the end of the third quarter.

LaCour scored with 8:16 remaining in regulation to give the Blue Jays a 9-6 lead, and Kitto fired one home with 2:49 to play to put New Orleans Jesuit up four. Junior middie Austin Mathias pulled one back for Loyola with 1:11 remaining, but it was too little, too late for the Flyers.

“Our defense just did fantastic,” Brantley added. “Loyola’s got a very strong attack and midfield, and our defenders are what made it possible to win.”
