It was an amazing game! Brian Crosby scored the winning goal. The last minutes were so intense, parents couldn't breathe.
This nail biter game was the first SWC win since the program started, seven years ago.
Nick Silva of Bethel was named MVP of the game. Nick played quick and strong defense and was key with ground ball recovery.
Crosby's late goal with seconds left propelled the Wildcats to a victory. Coach Marotta was on Cloud Nine, speechless and emotional when talking with his team as they celebrated his first SWC Championship as coach. Bethel now prepares for States this coming week.
