Second Round Showdowns

Mamaroneck took to the field on Saturday energized and full of vigor as they faced off against Suffern.  Not wasting anytime, one of their shining stars, Eric Greenberg scored two goals within the first 45 seconds.  By the end of the first quarter, Mamaroneck held a 6-1 lead.  Any time Suffern managed to score a goal, it was rapidly matched and/or exceeded by Mamaroneck.  At the start of the 4th quarter, Mamaroneck had its reserve team members in the game and they walked off the field victorious with a final score of 19-13.  It will be a "Tiger vs. Tiger" showdown as Mamaroneck advances to the Class A semifinals and will face White Plains on Tuesday, May 19th. 

Two of our teams, Haldane and Briarcliff, went head to head on Saturday, May 16th, in what many people believed would be an epic battle of these two closely matched Class C teams.  Much like Mamaroneck, Briarcliff was not going to let anyone stand in their way, and they too led 6-1 and the end of the first quarter of play.  The Haldane Blue Devils had a very difficult time maintaining ball possession and consequently, Briarcliff was ahead by seven goals at the half.  The second half of play continued on much like the first, with Briarcliff continuing to increase their lead over the Blue Devils.  It was evident that Haldane was starting to feel the pressure, as towards the end of the game, things began to get a little volatile with an increase of slashing and hitting.  At one point two players had to be pulled away from one another, resulting in a huddle between both coaches and referees.   At the end of the day, victory belonged to Briarcliff  with a 16-5 win.  They will meet Bronxville, the 2014 Class C Champions, on Tuesday, May 19th.
