The  first goal of the second half was scored again by Massapequa but the Pat's would control and pepper the Pequa goalie; adding only two more for their efforts and ended the third at 9-3. The Melville squad was too much for the Chiefs who played as if  they were in over their heads. It's tough playing for championships in this area and you could see the lack of experience and depth take its toll as the game wore on.  Brendan Morgan, Drew Casino, Chris Biel and Todd Cunningham were in top form and elevated play. The assault was on and once again the team utilized new and rediscovered approaches in a concerted team effort...Morgan feeding the sharks...Casino sweeping and firing...Preuss and Monfett driving...Biel working in close...and Gerry finding his range. The Chiefs goalie played admirably, keeping the score down, and forcing the Melville attack squadron to work harder for their opportunities. And they did, creating some picturesque teamwork, drives, and shots. The faceoff men controlled their area and the secure sticks of this Patriot squad held possessions as they constructed scoring opportunities. The defensive work was on target for the most part tonight with everyone to their marks executing shot prevention, ball stripping, and slides that put a smile on Coach Martens face. Nick Belvedere rose to his starting role and had a solid performance as did with Chris Mele. The defensive midfield was once again outstanding with transitions looking very smooth. Derek Kunkel had another strong performance guarding the goal, seeing the field very well on shots and clears.

Great job boys. Get ready for Yorktown!
