  Jahn's first-half goal, which proved to be the game-winner, came after he settled a rebound shot off a corner kick.

  Klonowski added his insurance marker with less than four minutes to play.

  Wildcat keeper Rene Mejia and Kyle Brindza split the shutout.

  "Our defense did such a great job tonight that our keepers weren't really tested," said Plymouth coach Jeff Neschich.

  How are the 'Cats playing heading into Thursday's Park showdown?

  "I think we could be playing better," said Neschich. "But the guys know they're going to have to amp it up Thursday and I think they'll do that."

  Plymouth won the two teams' first meeting, 3-0, on Sept. 7.
