Gallant Effort Not Enough...Eagles Suffer First Sect 9 Loss...

12/21/2009

Despite a gallant effort by the Eagles , Monroe proved to be the better offensive team on this Sunday night ; scoring four goals in the final period to down the varsity 8-4 in the first meeting of Section 9 rivals.

The Eagles did not go down without a fight. Trailing from the early going, Jay Healey(2), Josh Koerner, Richard Hudzik all scored goals to help bring the Eagles back from a 4-1 deficit.

But to no avail.

Missed opportunities, a goal called back , overall poor defensive play , helped fuel a Monroe team which took full advantage and pull away for the victory.

Senior Dillon Dolansky once again showed his determination and grit with a another fine effort.

With the toughest part of the schedule ahead of them, the young Eagles will have to team together as they struggle for another State Regional berth.

Notes: Next practice Monday Dec 28--3:45 to 5:15....Next Games --The Suffern Tournament Dec 29th/30th at Sport-o-Rama.....The JV team won their weekend game with a 5-3 victory over ST. Joes. ...... Thanks to the girls who showed up for our family skate.


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All..................
