•  It looks like our first State Cup game will be 3/27 or 3/28 in Flanders.  More to come

• We just got word that we were NOT accepted to the Manhattan tournament.  We may try to have an outdoor scrimmage or attend some type of indoor tourny on Saturday, March 6th (we already have our Sports Factory game at 8:30 on 3/7).  That is currently under investigation.
   
  For now though, it is a definite that we will not be going to Manhattan.

Notes from the 2/20 Sports Factory game

Overall, a very good game for the Ravens today.  The Fair Lawn team was scrappy, but beatable.  They were not as competitive as our week 1 Wayne opponent, but if we let our guard down, anything could have happened.  After a sneaky goal got through early in the game, the Ravens were unexpectedly down 1-0 and were being tested.  The good news is that they were up for it!  About 1/3 of the way through the game, Emily Muniz jumped in front of her opponent on a Fair Lawn goal kick and one-timed a screamer into their net to tie the game at 1-1.  As the game went on, the Ravens had several opportunities.  Dana S definitely came to play today as she was able to net an additional TWO goals.  Great job Dana.  

Overall, it was a nice team effort.  Excellent defense by Stephanie, Shannon, Sam, Emily and Amanda.  All around nice offensive play by Katie, Alina, Caitlin, Cara Dana S and Jen.  Also noteworthy is that several of our players got to play both up front and in the back.  And, last but not least, another solid game by Dana M!  She got a lot of work on corner kicks and made some nice goal kicks/passes throughout the game.
