Like many of our most recent games we tend to come out of the gate strong and then fade in the second half. That said, we are proud of well you played in the First Quarter staying close to the 07 Champions (1-2). And, we kept it somewhat close going into the Half (1-5). Overall we equaled them on Ground Balls (22-21), stayed close on shots (23-31) and dead even on face-offs (8-8). We were fortunate to have yet another stellar performance in goal - thanks again Trey for coming up big.
Unfortunately, we had an uncharacteristic number of penalties (4 - 3 in the second half) that hurt us. Little surprised the refs didn't keep the whistle in their pocket given the score.
Heads up guys, that was heck of a squad we played. And, game after game we are improving dramatically. We have come a long way this season and hope everyone is pleased with how we have progressed as individuals and as a team. But, in the end the result was the same with a differant score. Winchester 12 - Sachems 2.
We'd like to once again acknowledge the commitment and dedication of some folks who have made our season so special despite the results...thanks to Jeff and Mark for their leadership as player/coaches...Nat for scoring our first goal and coming up so HUGE all season long - an inspiration to us all...Tom for your loyalty, perfect attendance and doing everything asked of you...Ben for giving of your time this summer helping on the sidelines and keeping the book...and to everyone who has supported the team, pushed themselves to better players and awesome teammates...THANK YOU!!! Let's finish strong against the Stragglers and lay the groundwork for 2009.
