Revamped Brunos Downs War on the Shore 5-4

Holbrook,NY--The second session of Nor'Easter Men Masters Lacrosse kicked off with a come-from-behind win from a much improved Bruno's squad.  They downed "Broadway" Brett Jeffares' War on the Shore Lacrosse Club in convincing fashion.  Fed up with being the league's punching bags for the past four years, Bruno's made some significant upgrades to their historically lack luster line-up. Erasing a 3-1 halftime deficit, Bruno's clawed back into the game, scoring four unanswered goals in the second half.  War on the Shore managed to come within one goal of tying with 1:07 left on the clock. A two minute unreleasable penalty by Bruno's after the goal, gave Broadway Brett & Co. one last shot to tie things up with an extra man opportunity.  The stifling Brunos' defense did a great job killing the EMO, thus claiming their first ever win.  Long Island Lax Blog's vote for MVP is Bruno's goal tender Vick.  Vick played his butt off.  In fact he has always played well for Brunos, but now he has some supporting cast members.  Good job Vick.  Another notable performance was on the losing team; Richie "Broseph" Jeffares assisted on the late War on the Shore goal. Broseph cleared the ball from his own restraining box, outrunning the entire midfield of Bruno's, drew the defender and found an open Scott "Diamond Earrings" Ferguson for the score.

At the time of this story, in the late game,  Grey Dogs was leading Ed Coleman and Fat Frank's Land Sharks White 4-2 at halftime.
