Boca tops Milmay FC but falls to Hoboken in weather shortened match

LAKEWOOD, NJ (June 16, 2008) – The Jersey Shore Boca U23 men’s team split a pair of regular season games in the Mid-Atlantic Summer Showcase League (MSSL) last Sunday afternoon at the John Patrick Sports Complex in Lakewood capturing a 2-0 win over Milmay FC from Vineland while losing their first game of the season to Hoboken SC 1-0 in a weather shortened match.

Boca goals against Milmay came unassisted from James Gannon (Toms River) during the first half and by Tim Logan (Spotswood) assisted by Andrew Finger (Mullica Hill) in the second stanza.

In their second game against Hoboken SC, after conceding a goal in fourteenth minute, the Boca men could not capitalize to draw equal on the various scoring chances they created during the first half.

As the second half began, the match was stopped by the referees because of the severe weather moving through the Lakewood area with the official result standing 1-0 in favor of Hoboken.

Charles Cunliffe (Lakewood) was between the pipes for Boca for both games.

With the split on Sunday, Boca moves down to third place in the current MSSL league standings with an overall record of 4-1-1 and 13 points.

The U23 men return to regular league action on Sunday when they travel to Rider University in Lawrenceville to take on second place holders Hillsborough SC and also the Den of Lions SC from North Jersey.
