The Horsemen finish the season 6-3: Beat Edgemont 5-2

On the final day of the season, Friday May 25^th, the Horsemen (6-3) were faced with two tough opponents; the Edgemont Panthers and the heat.  By the end of the day, neither one got the best of the Horsemen as they cruised to a dominant 5-2 victory over Edgemont.  It was a slow played game, but one that concluded with the Horsemen victorious for the 6^th time this season. 

The season was highlighted by some stellar play by the Horsemen captains John Michael Bogusz, Jorge Berenguer, Tim Rachlin, Mike Segarra, and fellow 8^th graders Jay Ramirez, Chris Diaz, Tom Carraro, Emmanual Cruz, Jimmy Bender and Brandon Patino.  To make the future for our program even brighter is the development of our 7^th grade talent: Kyle McGovern, LJ Garrant, Jack Centra, Tom Fanelli, Matt Cassarin, Alex Mendonca, Christian Zhinin, Gabe Palacios, and Will Kelly.

This season marked the first time in recent memory that the Horsemen finished a season with a winning record, a .667 winning percentage (which is currently better than the NY Yankees).  The future is bright for the Sleepy Hollow Lacrosse program.  Good luck to all modified Horsemen.  Keep up the hard work.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 6-3 RECORD

GO HORSEMEN!
