The team started the 2003 season with a victory over Elmont. Ed Murray began the scoring 27 seconds into the game when he received a pass from Chris Galano on the crease. After that, the Vikings never looked back. Galano was the leading scorer on the day with two goals and two assists. Joe Valasiadis scored two goals and Murray, Bobby Lynn and Keith Cano each added a goal. The defense applied pressure on the Elmont offense and allowed only six shots. Adam Volpe played one half of shutout ball before giving way to Mike Gerbush in the second half. Elmont's lone goal came on an extra-man opportunity midway through the third quarter. FULL STORY
