Congratulations to the Nassau County 16U Lions team for capturing the 2024 International Silver Sticks Regional Championship in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
The 16U Lions, led by Coaches Angelo Les and Vincent DiMatteo, edged the Pittsburgh Aviators 3-2 in the finals game Sunday afternoon to punch their ticket as Mid-Atlantic Region Champs for the right play in Toronto, Ontario this coming January.
The Lions began their run with a 3-0 shutout over the Wissahickon Warriors. This was followed on day two with a 4-4 tie with the Chester County Cougars and another shutout victory Saturday afternoon, another 3-0 win this time over Team Philadelphia. Sunday morning’s semifinal game found the Lions again matching up against the Chester County Cougars. The Lions pulled off a 4-3 win in overtime to advance to the finals where they outlasted the Pittsburgh Aviators 3-2.
