Last Friday night the Yonkers Force lost their first game to perhaps the best high school team in New York. State, New Rochelle HS. The final score was 44-7. Scoring the Force’s lone touchdown was Elijah Cordero on a 5 yard run. After the game Force Coach Dan DeMatteo said “New Rochelle was a very tough athletic team….It also tough playing a game after a 500 day layoff!’ On April 1, the Force visit North Rockland HS. Kickoff is 6:30 PM.
The Lincoln boy’s soccer first home game ever @ LHS FIELD.
The Lancers hosted YMA ON Tuesday and played a very strong and hard fought game. YMA scored 1st on a penalty for kick… soon after the Lancers offensive strategy scored a goal. Ellison Garcia , freshman, had the assist to Alexis Cruz, which tied the game. Alexis Cruz scored again to put the Lancers up 2-1. YMA scored with 3 minutes left in regulation. The goal tied the game in regulation and stayed that way in Double Overtime.
We also received the names of some of the YMA Girls Soccer team from Coach

Strengths- Experience, goal scorers, defense, organization. We need to work on- possession, communication, playing consistent for 80 minutes.
