Thanks to this week's cold weather, Jesuit hosted a rare two-sport double header Wednesday night at Postell Stadium. Varsity soccer kicked off the night with a match against Skyline at 6:00, a game moved from Tuesday night to Wednesday due to weather.
 
The Rangers beat the Raiders 3-0, earning their fifth consecutive shutout and continuing to move up the rankings in District 9-6A play. Jesuit is now 6-1-2 in district. Wednesday's win featured goals from each of Jesuit's top scorers: Patrick Howell scored in the 20^th minute off an assist from Juan Ramirez, Ramirez scored in the 35^th minute off an assist from Will Kennard, and Aldo Quevedo added insurance in the 59^th minute on his own. Each of those goal scorers shares the team lead with six on the season.
 
The squad has now won five straight games, all with shutouts. A February 13 win over Irving MacArthur (2-0) featured goals from Ramirez and Howell late in the second half and brought Jesuit within striking distance for the top of the table. A 1-0 win over R.L. Turner the next week featured a Will Kennard goal assisted by junior defensemen Jon Balok. Last week's 2-0 win over Sunset included second half goals from Quevedo and Kennard, with assists from Kyle Hazelbaker and Nathan Escanuela.
 
Jesuit will host Irving Friday night at 7:30. The game was originally scheduled to be played at Irving High School, but has been moved to Postell Stadium due to field conditions.
