D5 Thursday: Trojans Nearly Come Back on Eagles

The St. John's Eagles held off a furious rally by the North Park Trojans in Brantford on Thursday night to (for now) have top spot in the D5 league to themselves.

The Eagles, though, held a 19-point lead which NPC was able to whittle all the way down to 3 points before the final buzzer sounded.

Although NPC (who beat STJ by 5 earlier) would have the head-to-head tiebreak with the Eagles, they would need the Assumption Lions to beat St. John's in their second regular season game.

In that scenario, all three teams would end with two-loss records, but the Trojans would hold tiebreaks over both ACS and STJ, and would be awarded first place.
