PANTHERS SEEK SECOND SKYLINE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY

PANTHERS SEEK SECOND SKYLINE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY

Old Westbury faces St. Joseph's-L.I. at 3 p.m. Sunday in Coram, NY

NOVEMBER 7, 2009

OLD WESTBURY, NY (www.oldwestburypanthers.com) - The Old Westbury/St. Joseph's-L.I. men's soccer rivalry continues Sunday as the two programs match up in the 2009 Skyline Conference Championship game at 3 p.m. at Diamond in the Pines in Coram, New York.

Old Westbury will look to win its first Skyline Conference Championship since 2007.  In total, the Panthers and head coach Jason Warshaw boast one tournament championship and make their second finals appearance, all versus St. Joseph's-L.I. 

The Panthers met the Eagles on October 3rd this season in Centereach, New York, in a game that featured five yellow cards and two red cards.  The Eagles won, 4-0, benefiting from a hat-trick by freshman Craig Ceruti (Shoreham, NY) and a goal by senior John Dettori (Bay Shore, NY).     

St. Joseph's-L.I. is arguably the hottest team in the conference, winning 11 of the last 12 matches played including carrying a five game winning streak into Sunday's match.  Old Westbury comes in winning five of the last six and will look to even up the season series.

The semifinals were nothing short of exhilarating with third-seeded Old Westbury taking a 1-0 lead into halftime and adding two second half goals to secure the win over second-seeded Farmingdale State on Friday at Rams Field.  St. Joseph's-L.I., the top seed, shutdown fifth-seeded NYU-Poly on Friday afternoon, 6-1. to advance to their third consecutive championship game.
