Xaverian is a perfect 3-0 against Holy Trinity since April of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Clippers will be playing in front of their home fans against the Titans at 4:00 p.m. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Xaverian is returning to their home field after beating St. John's Prep on theirs, despite the fact St. John's Prep has dominated at home this season. The Clippers walked away with a 6-3 victory over the Red Storm on Wednesday.
