PREVIEW: No. 1 seed Loyola (18-5) dominated its way through the first three rounds of the CIF-SS Division I Playoffs, defeating Agoura (14-4 W) and Trabuco Hills (19-8 W) at Smith Field before getting past Santa Margarita on the road (12-2 W) this past Tuesday.
That win in Orange County in the semifinals set up a date with No. 3 seeded Foothill (17-6), which will be a rematch of the 2021 Championship game in which Loyola (also seeded No. 1 at the time) defeated then-No. 3 seed Foothill, 9-7, at Tustin HS to claim the first-ever CIF-SS Division I Boys Lacrosse Championship.
The Cubs and Knights will meet for a second time this season, albeit with more on the line this time around. Loyola traveled to Foothill back on April 6th and dropped a hard-fought 5-7 game, but will have the opportunity to even the series with a win in the finals on Friday.
