It was lacrosse weekend in Port and despite the early hour and the gray skies coaches Jeff and John Froccaro said their sixth-grade team is "ready and eager to faceoff against their fierce competitor, Manhasset." Port got off to an early rally when Doug Bosswick quickly scored the first goal aided by the great defensive efforts of Timmy Pond, Nick Canjemi and Perry Dube. Minutes later, Aaron Lee, assisted by Doug Bosswick, blasted in a goal to give Port an early two-goal lead. Port's defense kept up the pressure. Michael Brown, Isaiah Ayendy and Chris Wands were all over the field keeping Manhasset at bay. Jeff Froccaro was taking advantage of his team's great defensive efforts by winning the faceoff and barreling down the field to score the third goal of the game ending the first quarter in a 3-0 lead.

In the second quarter, Manhasset showed their competitive spirit by scoring two quick goals putting them back in the game but Port continued to dominate the field. Jeff Froccaro made a beautiful pass to Matt Quirk who slammed it in the net, Port again was up by two. Brendan Johns, Ethan Sullivan and Kyle Lewis were relentless in their defensive efforts and made it impossible for Manhasset to score another goal in the second quarter.

In the third quarter Port wasted no time in turning up the heat. While Max Cohen and Matt Reitman were protecting their team's two-goal lead, Timmy Pond advanced up field to pass a rocket to Matt Quirk who scored giving Port a 5-2 lead. Port won the next faceoff and with Aaron Lee's offense coupled with a perfect pass from Timmy Pond, Jeff Froccaro put another one in the net. Only seconds left in the third quarter Jeff Froccaro, on an assist from Matt Quirk, scored his third goal for the hat trick giving Port a comfortable 7-2 lead at the end of the third quarter. Manhasset would not go quietly, within seconds of the fourth quarter Manhasset was all over Port's defense and managed to score four goals to bring the game within one. Port answered back when Jeff Froccaro scored one more insurance goal to lead Port to an 8-6 victory. Bryan Gerard continued to be rock solid between the pipes, scooping up loose balls and making the big saves to seal the victory.
