The Springfield Roadrunners' U14 Boys' flight 2 team (MCYSA) moved into a tie for first place with a 2-0 victory over the Clifton Stallions Stampede this past Sunday at John Paul High School in Clifton.
Springfield, (6W 2L 1T) down 2 players of their "fearsome foursome" defense, held Clifton in check throughout the match allowing only six shots on goal. Due to injury of regular goalie, Ethan Siegel, Danny Micolta filled in admirably until a freak play caused him a sprained knee injury during the first half. Stepping in at that point was a third member of the Roadrunners defensive tandem, Arrington Joyner-Corniffe who manned the position with ease for the duration of the match.
Springfield's scoring output was entirely credited to Asmar Johnson, the second "insurance" goal coming with 10 minutes left in the match deflating Clifton. Patching together the Roadrunners' defense were Austin Lopes, Kevin Chabla, Noah Guber, & Tyler Citrin.
