Gonzaga (Washington, D.C.) vs. No. 7 Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.)Last week Gonzaga (8-3) earned its first berth in the
Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship game since 2003 while knocking DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) out of the final for the first time in 15 years. Junior quarterback
Chris Schultz connected with
Brady Malone on a game-ending 2-point conversion in overtime for a 28-27 victory. It was the Eagles' sixth consecutive win since suffering a 49-7 loss to Good Counsel on Sept. 23.
