The March To The Championship

In this battle of the Tigers, White Plains squared off against Mamaroneck vying for a chance to advance to the Section 1 Class A championship game on Tuesday, May 19th.  It took only two minutes and thirty seconds for Mamaroneck to claw their way to an early lead when Jack Harrigan and Eric Greenberg each scored a goal a piece.  Unfortunately for White Plains, Mamaroneck's Ben Shapiro, won close to 90% of his face offs thereby giving Mamaroneck's Tigers ball possession for almost the duration of the game.  At the half, White Plains was down by three goals. Things did not improve much from there.  Mamaroneck doubled their number of goals by the end of the game and walked away with a 19-8 victory.  They will now play on Thursday against Mahopac, in what will be a rematch of the 2013 Class A Section 1 Championship game.  Will history repeat itself and Mamaroneck once again reign supreme?  Please be sure to stay tuned.
