Starlight defense was sold behind Sydney M.  Jenna K took care of every ground ball hit to her and Brandi R and Carli G combined for 10 put outs at first base.  Great game girls!

Starlight 21 – Lavi 28

Entering the second half Starlight was down two points but they played their way back into the game to go up by two points.  Unfortunately, in the fourth quarter Starlight’s shots stopped falling.  The game ended with Josh M making a half court three pointer but it wasn’t enough to change the score line in Starlight’s favor.  Numerous players excelled in the game with some impressive statistics:

Jake B scored 8 points and 3 assists.  Jesse N had 6 points and 8 rebounds, Andrew H had 4 points, Elijah E had 2 points and 4 rebounds and Justin M, Eric M and Ben B had two points each.

Starlight 8 – Weequahic 0

The girls’ second round game saw Weequahic visit Alumni Field in what proved to be a fairly one-sided contest. Right from the first whistle Weequahic struggled to deal with Starlight’s offensive game and really found it difficult to mount any serious attacks. Starlight subsequently found themselves in and around their opponent’s 18 yard box for most of the game which resulted in numerous goal scoring opportunities. The final result saw Starlight run out winners by the score of 8-0.

Starlight 2 – Westmont 0

The boys made their now regular annual trip to Westmont in the first round of the tournament. Last year the affair was settled on penalty kicks after extra-time, and at first it seemed as though this game would also go the distance. Starlight enjoyed a great deal of possession but found little success in the final third in front of goal. Weiss controlled the back line very well with Rothberg playing the stopper position and making a number of important challenges in front of goal. Kessler and Spar rounded out the back four playing some nice passes out of the back. Kahn and Lurie did a fantastic job in the middle of the park, with Simon and Baim continually making runs out wide. Up top Jaffe, Bash and Gallant took on Westmont’s back four giving them very little time on the ball. The first half, while dominated possession-wise by Starlight, ended 0-0. The second half was interrupted twice by thunder and lightning and meant that the game lasted for more than two hours including breaks. However, before the initial delay Lurie broke from midfield and from 25 yards out lashed a shot into the upper left corner of the goal. Westmont pressed for a goal and Starlight looked comfortable, although there was always a chance for Westmont as their strong midfield always looked dangerous. The game was effectively ended as a contest with about four minutes to go when Gallant beat the goalkeeper to the ball on the edge of the box knocking the ball past him into an open net. A great result which sees the 8th graders march into the second round and maintain their perfect soccer record since they first kicked a ball as 4th graders.

Jesse H scored the winning run all the way from second base in a dramatic 8th inning win! The game went into extra innings after Indian Head tied the game in the fifth. However after singles by Jesse H and Jordan K, Josh M got the walk-off hit. Jordan K and Ben B teamed up to pitch eight innings of solid baseball with Ben getting the win. Great job boys!!

Girls 8^th Grade Soccer (H) 

Starlight 5 – Westmont 0

The 8th graders made light work of a Westmont team that they previously met in 2010 and beat 5-0. Brisman in goal had very little to do and the back line of Zwal, Finkle, Mehlman and Wachsman completed a very professional job in regards to any attacks that Westmont presented. Godel, Steiner, Hirsch, Dratch and Abrams competed very well in midfield, with Saltzman, Scherl and Lisser running at Westmont’s back four repeatedly throughout the game. Sherl had a couple of fine goals following some long runs from midfield. Godel continually ran the flank crossing the ball for the forwards to attack. The girls took a 3-0 lead in at half-time, and the second half followed a similar pattern to the first. The final score was once again 5-0 in Starlight’s favor, and the 8th graders continue on looking to go one better than last year’s second place in the tournament.

Girls 9^th Grade Soccer (A)

Starlight 2 – Westmont 3

The 9th graders made their annual trip to Westmont in the first round of the WCCA tournament. A much improved Westmont side controlled a great deal of the opening play and took an early one goal lead. Westmont enjoyed the majority of the possession but to their credit, Starlight plugged away and did not give complete control of the game to their opponents. A strong team defensive display meant that the half-time score remained 1-0 and following a few position changes, the girls started the second half with a view to imposing themselves on the Westmont midfield area. Schmueli had a fantastic game in goal, making a one-handed save that wouldn’t have looked out of place in the MLS. The back line included Rosenblum, Green, Cohen and Weinrauch, and for long periods they held strong making some fine tackles in Starlight’s defensive third of the field. The midfield five of Strauss, Breakstone, Rizika, Lisser and Gaier played extremely well, particularly in the second half, and up top Saunders made some fine forward runs and linked up well with Rizika. The girls fought back from one behind to go two-one up, the second coming from some accomplished interplay between Saunders and Rizika. Unfortunately a lapse in concentration allowed Westmont to level the game with 15 minutes remaining. With just a couple of minutes of regulation time remaining, Breakstone lined up a thirty yard free-kick and fired against the cross-bar. Starlight’s forwards followed in the effort but were unable to bundle what would have surely been the game winner over the line. In over-time Westmont managed to steal a third goal, but Starlight continued to press until the final whistle. The final score was 3-2 in Westmont’s favor and this was the first loss since the girls first pulled on the blue and white as juniors. The Westmont celebrations reinforced how relieved they were to finally beat Starlight at the sixth attempt, but the 9th graders showed their previous championship qualities by continuing to play for the win when many teams would have buckled. A disappointing loss for everyone concerned but the manner truly reflected just how hard this particular group of girls play for each other.

The girls played at the invitational tournament held at Trails End today.  They played two great games:

Starlight 0 – Trails End 2

Starlight had their first game in the tournament against Trails End.  Chelsea S started the game with a single, and to push her over was Carly K.  Vanessa M got two singles but the final score ended 2-0 to Trails End.

Starlight 3 – Towanda 8

In the second game Andie W scored the first run of the game starting with a single moved over by Reese C (playing first base).  Reese was also the second one to score followed by Olivia M and Morgan C.  The girls played a great game but the final score ended 8-3 to Towanda.

The girls should really be congratulated on their performance in their first ever softball invitational as they showed real Starlight spirit.

In their first game together, the 4^th grade boys put on an incredible display of teamwork and let it be known that the future of Starlight hockey is here.  Jonah S exploded for five goals, his first one coming only seconds into the game.  Eric M won nearly every faceoff and spread the puck around recording one goal and three assists.  Ben C and Jesse S had two goals each and Jason F completed the scoring with a goal.  Aiden N, Jonny C, Kyle F and Ryan W anchored the impeccable defense.  Abe W stopped multiple scoring opportunities and recorded the shutout in his first ever competitive game in goal.

This was a close game which saw Starlight trailing for the first three quarters of the game but holding a 35-34 lead on entering the fourth quarter.  The team then switched into a full-court press which seemed to be the game changing decision.  With 6.7 seconds left into the game Seneca Lake took its’ final attempt and Austin K sealed the game with the final rebound and free-throws.  This was a well fought game with some impressive scores spread throughout all the team members.

Starlight 3 – Poyntelle 1

The girls started the 2011 season as reigning champs and faced a team that they had beaten 7-0 the previous year.  A much improved Poynetelle visited Alumni Field and even though Starlight controlled much of the game, it was certainly harder work than in 2010.  Reiss up top made some fine runs, supported ably by Lisser who ensured that the Poynetelle defenders did not have too much time on the ball.  Breslow and Shapiro kept control of the center of the field with Burstein and Labonski making some fine runs down the flanks.  At the back Cohen, Guttman and Mach ensured that most of the Poynetelle attacks fizzled out before they could amount to much, and from this base Starlight took a well-earned two goal lead at the half.  The second half followed a similar pattern to the first although towards the end of the game Poynetelle snuck a goal and looked to make a game of it until Starlight hit a third on the break from Reiss.  A good opener and now Starlight await either Island Lake, Lohikan or Westmont in the next round.

Boys 10/11^th Grade Soccer (H)

Starlight 1 – Wayne 5

The 10th grade boys faced a stern challenge in their opening game having to play a Wayne team composed solely of 11th graders.  An early Wayne goal effectively set the tone for the rest of the game but to their credit, the 10th graders continually hustled making their older opposition work for their goals.  Two Wayne goals late in the first half did not deter Starlight from starting the second half in a positive fashion, and when Wolff was brought down in the area Greenbaum stepped up to reduce the deficit to two.  Starlight pressured well in the second half and Chirls hit the post and Greenbaum had two free kicks scrambled away by the Wayne keeper.  Two further goals brought the final score to 5-1 although Starlight never let up and continued to push forward until the final whistle.  Despite the scoreline Starlight put forth a good effort and Chernov, Cohen and Kahn at the back made life hard for the Wayne forwards, while midfielders Breslow and Wolff pressured their opposite numbers throughout the game.  For some this may be the last game played in Starlight colors, but this team has won the championship game three times in six attempts, finishing second on another occasion.  And that’s not too shabby.  Well done boys.

Girls 5^th Grade Soccer (H)

Starlight vs. Tioga

The girls made very light work of Tioga starting the game at a frenetic pace and pinning their opposition in their own half for most of the game.  On the odd occasion when Tioga were able to break on Starlight’s goal, Spar, Tillinger and Lev gave short shrift to the opposing forwards.  In midfield Greenwald and Jaffe continually broke on Tioga’s goal although the early goals were scored by Chernett playing as a forward.  A brief cameo in the forward position by Scherr netted three quick goals and by this point the game was ended as a contest.  Next up are Lavi, a team Starlight beat 8-2 in 2010, although the girls are already working hard to ensure that they get past Lavi so they can get another crack at a Chenawanda team that knocked them out of last year’s competition 1-0.

Starlight 13 – Lohikan 1

Runners-up in 2010, the boys went to work earlier today against local rivals Lohikan and wasted no time in showing why they are fast becoming one of Starlight’s top prospects for future soccer success.  Kansler and Honig did fine work at the back with Honig making some fine forward runs and coming close to scoring on a couple of occasions.  In midfield Meinhoff, Kessler and Baim made light work of Lohikan’s midfield line continually playing balls into wide positions as well as driving towards the top of the 18 yard area and firing shots in from distance.  Up top Gallant and Strober mesmerized their markers and the game was one way traffic aside from a couple of forays by Lohikan’s boy from Brazil who scored their only goal of the game.  The final score line was 13-1 in Starlight’s favor, and the boys now await the winner of the Wayne/Chenawanda game.
