Julie’s Football Club vs Medium Rare
Overtime:
JFC (1-0) – Mitch Gronowitz (1) (assisted by Tash) (2:36)
GAME NOTES: This game was played with two 19 minute halves, as was the late game on the evening…it’s always difficult to tell how teams will do in their first game back after the long winter offseason. Both teams looked better than expected but unfortunately for them so did both goalies who made a multitude of big saves en route to a 0-0 result through regulation…of course, the week we absolutely 100% had to be on time, the first game of the season went to OT. Orange received a late powerplay and took advantage pretty much immediately, burying a power-play goal for the 1-0 victory…Mitch, playing his first career D5 game, potted the OT winner on a one touch pass from Tash. The win was JFC’s first season opener victory since their inception in Summer 2022…cameraman Glanzer was adament during the broadcast that Chris B should be the 1st star regardless of how the game finished due to the amount of pressure orange generated. Jacob picked up the 2nd star and the shutout victory, which I’m sure he’s happy with.
THREE STARS OF THE GAME:
3rd – Mitch Gronowitz (GWG)
2nd – Jacob (SO, W)
1st – Chris B (1 GA)
Hungry Hippos 2.0 vs Green Street Hooligans
1st Half:
GSH (1-0) – Yehuda (1) (assisted by Russo) (10:50)
GSH (2-0) – Yehuda (2) (assisted by Amanda) (17:30)
2nd Half:
HIP (1-2) – Adam Satok (1) (unassisted) (9:11)
GAME NOTES: Black was an overwhelming -300 favorite in this game but green was able to ride a big two goal performance from Captain Yehuda putting the team on his back like Greg Jennings. and Dave GDR putting on a show in net. Green exhibited high level speed, patience and defense in this one and despite a late push by black, they were able to hold on for a season opening 2-1 victory…at time of publication, Yehuda is currently #1 in the scoring race. That is all.
THREE STARS OF THE GAME:
3rd – Adam Satok (1G)
2nd – Dave GDR (W, 1 GA)
1st – Yehuda (2G)
