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.

This Evening's Men's Masters Lacrosse Schedule

Can Huber deliver like Broadway Joe?

Holtsville, NY--The race to the playoffs is already heating up during this third week of lax play of the Nor'Easter Summer Lacrosse League at the P.A.L. Athletic Complex.
Two teams are tied for 1st place, three tied for 2nd, and three for 3rd. It comes as no surprise that Checkmate Orange is one of those 1st place teams and Brunos is sucking wind down in the cellar.
The two games tonight features the newcomer SCPD Team vs. a very seasoned and wiley Land Sharks Red Team. Two SJU Alumni will be squaring off against each other. Ed Coleman, a Brentwood native, for Land Sharks and Keith Huber (East Islip '85, St. John's '89) in net for SCPD.
Tonight's game marks Huber's first return to Nor'Easter Lacrosse action since last June when he signed on to play with Ray Sipperly's Remnants squad. The emotional and physical toll he took losing and playing with Remnants put him into hibernation from lacrosse for the past 11 months. He is resurfacing now not only to secure SCPD a Nor'Easter Summer League title but also to tune -up for the Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament which commences within two weeks from yesterday. At Placid he'll be leading the defending co-champion Team Long Island- Lax Unlimited as the number one seed in a field of twenty on their quest for back to back championships. Huber has predicted victory in tonight's game versus Land Sharks Red. "We'll win", he exclaimed, "as long as I'm between those pipes".
Face-off is tonight at 7pm.
