The second game of the day in the Cartier Queen’s Cup featured a dominant defensive performance from Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine, capturing the 9-6 victory against Emlor on the Queen’s Ground at Guards Polo Club.
Holding Emlor to just five shot attempts in the entire game, Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine dominated possession and kept their opponents pinned in their own half. Producing 19 shots of their own, Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine shot just 32% from the field which prevented them from running away in the game, but the limited opportunities for Emlor sealed their fate. Sapo Caset and Facundo Sola provided a formidable duo, combining for seven goals and four assists with an organized gameplan securing the three-goal win. 
Emlor’s Agustin Merlos opened the scoring with what would prove to be their only field goal in the first half as Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine took control of the possession and began to build their lead. Scoring from the field while also adding a safety conversion, Caset gave his team their first lead at 2-1, but it was Sola who pushed Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine forward in the second chukka. Held without a shot attempt on goal, Emlor remained in their defensive half, and it was Sola who added one goal, while assisting on two other field goals in an efficient second chukka that resulted in a 5-1 advantage for Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine. Two penalty conversions for Merlos brought Emlor back within three, but their only offense came from the penalty line as Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine managed their lead.
Determined to make a push to begin the second half, Emlor turned to Spencer McCarthy, who scored back-to-back goals to bring his team within one goal, their closest gap since the opening chukka. However, the Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine defense increased their pressure to limit any available space for Emlor and preventing them from finding the goal over the final two chukkas. Matt Perry added his second goal while Caset capped off a strong performance with a goal and an assist to give Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine the 9-6 lead entering the sixth chukka. Maintaining their focus on defense, Murus Sanctus/La Magdeleine prevented any runs to goal and kept Emlor at a distance to capture their first victory of the tournament.
