We then fought back the next day and beat the Blues 7-1 on Sunday. That ends the league season. We finished 12-4-3 which is a great record but just not enough to finish for district playoffs.

We have 5 league games remaining and our fate is in our own hands. If we win all 5 we are guaranteed a spot in the district playoffs.

It was a game where we fought back from a 2 goal deficit. If every game is as exciting as that one it should be a great year. Practice on Monday and Wednesday this week and two games next weekend. Saturday is a league game at home and Sunday is non-league on the road. Also we have some new pictures up from the Blues game including a team picture taken before the game.
10/3/04---We played the Jr. Phantoms AAA Major team in a 2 game series this weekend and showed up strong. We had two close games and ended up losing 5-3 in both games. This bodes well for the boys showing that they can stay with a AAA team. We resume AA play next weekend. Practice on Monday and Tuesday and then our final preseason game Friday night against the Bandits. Our first league game is Sunday afternoon at Mennen against the Montclair Blues.
9/25/04---We had a tough 4-3 loss last night against the Bears at BSA. It was a close game the whole way but we just couldn't execute the way we wanted. Check out the recaps page for the total breakdown of the game. No practice tonight (Saturday) and then practices on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Next weekend we play a home/home with the Jr. Phantoms AAA Bantam Major. It should be extremely good competition. The first game is at Mennen so let's get alot of support at the game.
9/19/04---We just got back from Silversticks and wow what a weekend. The team went 1-0-2 in the qualifying round, fighting hard for a chance to get in. After waiting in the lobby for what seemed like hours, the man with the marker wrote a 7th seed next to our name and we were all pretty excited. We played the Quakers early the next morning. They were pretty upset when we knocked them off 2-0 but ran into a tough Hudson Valley Polar Bears and lost 7-2 to the team that would eventually win it all. Tough loss but a good weekend overall as the team went 2-1-2. Check the recap page for all the highlights.

9/11/04---The team won their second game of the season today, 4-0 in the rematch against the Comets. Check out the recap page. They take their 2-0 record down to Philadelphia next weekend for the Silversticks tournament. It should be a lot of good competition.
