Coach’s Comments:  

“We want to win our conference and it will be tough playing St. Joe’s (Hammonton), Holy Spirit, Williamstown, and the rest of our schedule, including our opener at State College, Pennsylvania. We qualified for the playoffs, won our first game, hung tough with St. Joe’s (Montvale), and now we want to close the gap.” – Head Coach Pete Lancetta
