The midfield line of Thomas Panarella, Preston Engelis, and John Canfielddid excellent work on groundballs and clearing the ball to the offensive end. The midfield line of MarkKennedy, Matt Compitiello, and Sean Truehart put in a fine defensive effort and Mark ran the full fieldbefore firing a rocket shot with his long pole for the goal of the game.

The defensive unit continues toimprove with standout efforts by Mike Russak, Patton Derosa, Alex Atkinson, Jack Ryan, and ConnorStahl. Connor stonewalled a Port Washington attackman in the final seconds of the game by making twopoint blank saves within seconds of one another. The attack played a strong game with Peter Gambinomaking a strong move to the net from the 'X' and putting the ball top shelf in the net. Connor Widmierand Dylan attacked the net all game.
