They are undefeated - and your headline takes away from that status by adding "barely". Why not say "Congratulation to SU Men's LAX for being undefeated"?
9:12, thought the same thing!!! GO GULLS!
It was a squeaker -- Stevenson lost a good goal because the coach called time out a few seconds before the shot. Another on a simple crease violation that did not matter in the score.
Look for a fight with them here during the playoffs. If tradition holds -- Stevenson will win that one.
And most of the hot Mustangs are younger -- including Chris Dashiell from Parkside -- one that got away from Berkman. So look for improvement by then.
