Two Steps Forward...One Step Back......Next....

11/29/10

Forward...Despite losing 2 of 3 at the White Plains Tournament, the Burke Eagles demonstrated some grit over the Holiday weekend. After a 6-0 loss to Tournament winners and Section 1X rivals Monroe Woodbury , the Varsity lost a hard fought contest vs Salem 3-2.  A 8-0 win over NFA concluded the long Holiday weekend which also saw the Eagles win all three of its 30 minute scrimmages vs Scarsdale, Fieldstone, North Rockland.

The defensive team of Alex Day, Yale Gropman, Sean Matusch, Connor Dolansky continued to improve in front of goaltenders Eric Hayden and Steven Herschel; they allowed the opponents only one goal in the scrimmages and played tough in the Tournament.

Michael McAteer led the Eagles offense with four goals and nine assist while Richard Hudzik chipped in with three goals and four assist.

Backward ..... On Monday a speedy St. Joes team put some added pressure on the Eagle defense as they skated to a 7-1 victory over the Burke varsity. Despite out shooting their opponents , a lack-luster defensive effort by the entire Burke team set the tone for the loss.

One way hockey usually ends up one way......

Next Step.... Varsity heads to the Harvey School Wednesday for an afternoon contest.
