Week #1 - vs South Shore Womps 7-6 L

In a game that was tied 3-3 at half we allowed two soft goals early in the third but, made a great comeback scoring 3 goals in the final quarter while not allowing another Womp goal. In the brief, "0-fer everything" history of the team it was among the best played game with a good balance of the solid defense and patient and effective offense. The game stats are attached and feature: 20 to 21 ground balls; 18-23 shots; and 12 saves by John Decesere #15. Erik Winton's #27 gutsy save didn't make the box score but, should be noted. We got some great scoring from Juice #23 with 3 goals and single tallies by Josh Fenton #22, Todd Geraughty #6, and Brian Crowley #30. With just a few more timely shots and we could have reached our first victory of the season and club history. All three phases of the game (Defense, Transition and Offense) played well as a unit and show signs of great things to come. All in all, a great effort from everyone and it was a great way to start the season.

Special mention should be made for the outstanding hustle by Steve, Justin, Greg and Todd. Every time they were on the field it was an all out sprint to chase down guys or pick up a ground ball. Every time they were on the field gave us a better chance at winning.
