SPORTS:

“The Men’ Soccer team lost a hard fought game last tonight. It was 1-1 through regulation.  They played 20 minutes of overtime and another 10 minutes of sudden death overtime with the game ending on penalty kicks. This was a special group led by 3 amazing seniors. Also a special thank you to Coach Andrew Leonard and Brian Batchelor. We are so proud of these Eagles!!”
