A few days ago we put down the six games that have played four of the better Pennsylvania private school teams against each other in 2025:
September 15: Episcopal Academy 1, Hill 0
September 16: Academy of Notre Dame 4, Episcopal Academy 1
September 23: Academy of Notre Dame 4, Villa Maria 1
October 1: Hill 1, Academy of Notre Dame 0 (OT)
October 2: Episcopal Academy 2, Villa Maria 1
October 4: Villa Maria 3, Hill 0
No team dominated the others; Two of the teams had two victories, two had two defeats. There were good games (half was at the end of one target) quality performance in four talented line-ups, and some spine chilling finishes.
But what if we make a World Cup style resultable for these special group of teams? We get this:
| Team | W | L | GF | Go | +/- |
| Academy of Notre Dame | 2 | 1 | 8 | 3 | 5 |
| Episcopal Academy | 2 | 1 | 4 | 5 | -1 |
| Villa Maria | 1 | 2 | 5 | 6 | -1 |
| Hill | 1 | 2 | 1 | 4 | -3 |
If this was a World Cup group, the Irish of Notre Dame would win on target difference over Episcopal. However, this is where some of the finer points of the game come into play. Three of the four teams in this group have a negative target difference, but they were not much negative.
There is also a twist on this whole story: that will happen this Friday afternoon on Gina Buggy Field as Notre Dame will visit Episcopal Academy Department that the Inter-AC is a double round-robin competition.
That should be a great game.
