Although Boys’ Latin is moving on to the MIAA B Connference soccer playoffs, rival St. Paulâ??s, which will miss the postseason in the A Conference, gained braging rights for the year with a 1-0 non-conference victory over the Lakers, yesterday at St. Paul’s.

Nick Kurgansky netted the only score of the contest when he followed up a shot by teammate Josh Du Coudray, with just under six minutes remaining in the second half.

St. Paul’s defense, led by eight stops from goalkeeper Peter Windsor, then finished off the shutout

St. Paul’s (1-14-2 overall), which was coming off an A Conference tie with playoff bound Calvert Hall, won for the first time this year. The Crusaders will have one final opportunity to get in the win column in the A Conference when they close their season at John Carroll on Wednesday.

BL (13-5-1 overall) has now completed its regular season. The Lakers will enter the B Conference playoffs as the top seed from Division II and will host a semifinal playoff game next week.
