AUBURN – While it was easy to be impressed by the two-digit number on the left side of the scoreboard when the time ticked down to zeroes, St. Dom’s coach Jim Dock was just as pleased about the skinny little number on the right: 1.

As in, one goal allowed in 48 minutes of regulation time.

“We have a very young team and team defense is definitely an area we need to work on,” Dock said. “The last couple of practices, we’ve really been focusing on individual defensive positioning and an entire team concept, playing defense across the field.”

Of course, scoring enough times on a rain-drenched field to make some area football teams jealous didn’t hurt, either.

Trevar Haefele continued his torrid scoring pace, netting eight goals and adding six helpers to lead St. Dom’s to a convincing 19-1 rout of Noble on Tuesday.

“We knew about him and we tried to mark him from the beginning,” Noble coach Chris Rousseau said.

It didn’t help.

“Trevar’s an incredible athlete and wherever you put him on the field, he’s a threat,” Dock said. “He’s probably one of the all-around best players in the state.”

After the Saints (3-0) notched their first goal on a snipe by freshman Troy Haefele, older brother Troy took over, scoring seven of the team’s next eight goals, including a pair just 14 seconds apart on consecutive faceoffs.

The other goal in a 6-0 first-quarter run came from first-year player Tim Day, who finished with six goals and three assists of his own.

“The great thing is, we have a lot of good, younger players,” said Dock, who also pointed out that Trevar Haefele is still just a junior. “Of the 20 kids we have on the roster, 12 or 13 are freshmen or sophomores. It’s a great group of kids.”

After the six goals in the first, the Saints piled it on in the second, getting three in a row to start from Trevar Haefele. Ben Lewis, Day, and Matt Adams stepped in to score the rest of the first-half goals for St. Dom’s.

Noble struck for its lone goal of the game with 2:21 to play in the opening half, when C.J. Hladick curled to the top of the box and fired a shot past freshman keeper Cody Rodrigue.

Rodrigue stopped the rest of them, and finished with 11 saves.

In the second half, Trevar Haefele notched his eighth, Day climbed to six goals scored, and Ben Adams scored twice in the fourth quarter to round out the Saints’ scoring blitz.

Adrian Ryan suited up in goal for the Knights (0-3), and weathered the storm, finishing with six saves in the loss.
