Panthers defeat Catholic Memorial in State Tournament!

The Panthers battled the elements and Catholic Memorial to gain their 1st tournament win since 2009!  A slushy field and cold weather didn't keep the Panthers from their mission to succeed.
After 80 minutes of regulation with the Panthers having opportunities to score and 20 minutes of sudden death/golden goal overtime, it all came down to penalty kicks.  The Panthers chose to shoot 1st and make CM chase them.  Antonio Centeio and Gabe De Oliviera put the Panthers up 2 - 1.  Tom McGahan gave us a 3 - 1 advantage and Kevin Emery gave us the game winner in the 6th round to seal the deal at 4 - 3.  What an exciting finish to an exciting game.  Conor Keane made some great saves during the game and in the shootout!  The defensive unit of Nate Almeida, Drew Alexopoulos, Brian Barry, & Kevin Emery worked hard to minimize shots during the game.  Central midfielders Antonio, Gabe, Ryan Kelly, and David Sanchez worked hard to get balls to our forwards.  Tom Chmura and Nick Haley certainly kept the CM defense on their toes with numerous threats during overtime.  Overall, everyone on the field played a big part in this tournament win.

Now we focus on Pembroke who we will play for the 3rd time this year.  Game time is 6pm at Pembroke on Tuesday Nov. 4th.  We would like to get as many fans there as possible to help us pull out another tournament victory!!
