The Patriots failed to gain at least a share of the MIAA title for the first time since 2002 after being defeated by Loyola Blakefield, 14-7, on Monday. John Carroll had rolled over local competition in recent years on its way to national tournaments, but that didn't happen this season.

The John Carroll rugby team visited Mount St. Joseph Thursday in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association rugby semifinals to kick off the playoffs. Archbishop Spalding was to host Loyola Blakefield in the other semifinal.

The Patriots went 1-3 in the MIAA A Conference, with their lone win coming against Calvert Hall, the only team not to make the four-team playoffs. Mount St. Joseph, the No. 1 seed and 3-1 in the conference on the year, had its only loss come against Loyola.
