Head coach Lance Clelland: "The Saints faced a tough and talented team from Camden High School in New Jersey in game one. Unfortunately, turnovers and mistakes turned a first half lead into a loss for the boys. The Saints showed great effort but will need to improve as a team to be successful versus Episcopal High School this coming week."

The Saints will host Episcopal at Knowles Field on Friday, September 6 at 6:30 pm.
