NO. 8 MATER DEI (3-4, 0-2) VS. JSERRA (6-1, 1-1)
Where, when: Saddleback College, Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Outlook: I knew it was coming. As soon as it landed on OCVarsity.com Monday afternoon that Mater Dei, with a sub-.500 record and winless in league, was still in the county top 10, people were going to flip out. So here we have Mater Dei with its record against JSerra with its record.
Santa Margarita's inaugural hockey season was dedicated to the memory of former students Zachary Raffety and Mark Motley, who were killed in a car crash this past Spring.
On Saturday night, banners were hung, and jerseys were given to their parents. It was an emotional night as the Eagles fought hard but lost to JSerra, 5-2. Video by Jonathan Khamis, video.ocregister.com

JSerra broke up a 1-1 tie in the second inning with five runs then turned the game into a rout with five more runs in the fourth.
