The Sharks were scheduled to play New Canaan Saturday at Waldorf School. However, the game had to be rescheduled and the Sharks will face the fast-moving New Canaan team on the road on foreign turf later in the season. The Sharks instead faced a challenge from a seventh- and eighth-grade team from Huntington Village.

At the start of the game, the Huntington players appeared to relish the opportunity to coast to victory with superior size and weight in almost every match-up. The challenge was met, however, by the Sharks, who dominated all aspects of the game from the opening whistle. The end result was an 11-2 win. The Sharks' defense dominated the larger seventh- and eighth-grade squad, giving up only two goals. Jahelka, Burnside, Kufs, Adams and Fischer stripped and fleeced the Huntington players of the ball almost every time they got within shooting range of the cage. By the end of the game, it was clear that the Huntington players had seen enough of the Shark-Bite defense.

On Sunday in USMMA league play, the Sharks woke up to a much more difficult challenge from a stacked LI Express team that showed up at game time determined to avenge its loss to the Sharks in the previous week. John Bock was quick with the hands and feet and played his best two games of the season, defending the cage against the quality shooters from the Express and Maverick, all of whom came out gunning for him.

Despite the great effort by Bock, the Sharks lost a nail-biter, 6-5 with a goal by the Express with 37 seconds remaining. Scoring for the Sharks were Dwyer, Clarkson, Thornton, Confort and Savage. Although the Express conceded the face-offs, sending a long pole middie out to ambush Gordon, Porter, Coleman and Mahon, they won the overall battle for ground balls, which the Express also then converted into the goals they needed for the win.

The Sharks rebounded at 11 a.m. with a win over the North Shore Maverick, 7-1. Scoring for the Sharks were Dwyer, Mahon, Confort, Tarzian and Coleman with a hat trick. The first half featured a tight match with the Sharks holding a slim 2-1 lead on a Dwyer-Coleman combo with the first coming on a Coleman goal from Dwyer and the second unassisted by Dwyer. With approximately three minutes remaining and the air tense, Mahon scored unassisted after winning the face-off. Confort rang the bell on a feed from Clarkson with only 1.5 minutes remaining to make the score 4-1 going into the half. The second half was all Sharks with an early unassisted goal by Tarzian and two more by Coleman from Savage and Confort.

All weekend, the Sharks defense was stretched against the larger teams. The injured Tommy Adams played his heart out and left it all on the field. The Sharks added a defensive middie, and as a result Burnside, Kufs, Jahelka, Adams and Fischer were constantly playing without rest. The Sharks' defense circled the wagons when the going got tough and refused to give up any man down goals all weekend. The words "no break" were also constantly heard, as the Sharks' defense shut down all but one fast break scoring opportunities.
