* Iona Prep defeated rival Fordham Prep, 1-0, at Belson Stadium to win the first CHSAA Class A intersectional soccer title in school history. “We pretty much just made a dynasty,” said Cesar Ceja, who scored the game’s lone goal in the 24th minute. “After we leave, I doubt there will be a better team than what we had the last three years.” Iona Prep (12-3-5) will get a chance to defend its CHSAA state title, taking on Long Island champion Chaminade in the semifinals Thursday at St. John’s. Fordham Prep, which made its fourth trip to the CHSAA Class A intersectional final in five years, ends its season 14-2-3.
