The boys assembled for their first indoor play of the winter season. At Franklin Square, they took 1st place honors going undefeated in exciting play. The finals pitted the boys against a well skilled Brentwood Squad - a 1-1 tie at the end of regulation brought us a shoot out - and a real nail-biter it was - all 7 field players were involved with Robert Morici winning it with a fine blast. Chris Sawicki was awarded the most valuable player award at the goalkeeping position. Congratulations to Sean Burkett, Danny Duras, Chris Dijanic, Robby Kassoff, Joseph Marrano, Michael McHale, Robert Morici and Chris Sawicki. FULL STORY
