Rangers Drop Bout to Flower Mound
 
Junior Santiago Diaz scored two goal for the Rangers, but three game-opening, unanswered goals by Flower Mound put Jesuit behind early in an 8-4 setback on Thursday at the StarCenter in Richardson. Four different members of the Bllue and Gold found the scoresheet for Jesuit, who head into the final four games of the season following Thursday's setback.

Diaz picked up his seventh and eighth goals of the season on Thursday, continuing a stretch of six games that has seen the junior light the lamps seven times. Diaz's second multi-goal game of the year was complimented by sophomore Ryan Virkar, who netted his third goal of the season in the first period and added an assist to tie Diaz for the team lead in points.
 
Senior Miles Dikun scored his third goal of the year as juniors Jack Sweda, Derek Zhang, sophomores Charlie Cohen and William Sahadevan added assists. Senior goalkeeper William Carney picked up 29 saves in goal as the Rangers withstood 37 shots from Flower Mound and went 3-for-4 in penalty kill opportunities.
 
Scouting Plano West
 
• The Wolves enter the home stretch of the season in sixth place with 11 points, 10 behind fifth place Flower Mound. Plano West was in position for a massive upset victory over first place Frisco last Friday, holding a 3-2 lead with 8:50 remaining in the second period. However, Frisco scored two unanswered goals to end the game, including the game-winner with 11 seconds left in regulation for a 4-3 win over the Wolves.
 
• Plano West's top scorer is Robert Snyder, who has 12 goals, eight more than the closest teammate, with 18 points on the year. The Wolves are 1-3-0 over their last four game, earning their last win courtesy of a 3-2 decision over Keller on Jan. 7.
 
Last Time They Met
 
A late third period goal by senior Seth Dragojevic was not enough to overcome seven unanswered goals by Plano West as the Wolves defeated Jesuit, 7-1, on Thursday at the StarCenter in Plano. 

Dragojevic scored unassisted in the third, marking the second straight game that has seen the senior light the lamp. Sophomore Arthur Trapp made 21 saves in the net as senior William Carney added 14 stops. Plano West struck midway through the first period, cashing in on a 20-9 shot advantage to score four goals within the final nine minutes of the opening period, taking a 4-0 lead into the first intermission.
 
After adding another insurance goal late in the second, the Wolves scored two power play goals in the third to take a 7-0 lead. Dragojevic scored with 4:07 left in the game, but the late spark was not enough to derail the Wolves' large lead.
 
Up Next
 
Jesuit will head to McKinney, Texas for a 9 p.m. puck drop. The Rangers last played McKinney on Nov. 5, where the Blue and Gold suffered a 4-2 loss. Jesuit will return to the Richardson StarCenter on Thursday, Feb. 11, when the Rangers host Keller for senior night.
