A great evening weather-wise made for a fun event at Sahlen's Stadium on May the 5th.  The U14-and-up age group players spent the whole game on the sidelines as ball boys (and girls- Danielle Benincasa representing the girl's side of the club!) getting a very up-close look at what was, on the whole, very good soccer.
