MTOC U-16 Rangers State Champions June 2010

The Newton Youth Soccer Rangers won the BU-16 Division 1 championship at the Massachusetts Tournament of Champions (MTOC) held in Lancaster, MA on June 25-27, 2010.  In the round robin stage of MTOC the Rangers won all three of their games with a 3-1 victory over Lynn, and 4-0 and 6-0 wins over Northbridge and Fall River.  Rangers then moved on to defeat Woburn 3-0 in the semi-finals.  

The Rangers faced Lynn again in the championship game.  After being down 1-2 at halftime, Rangers persevered with the hard work, skill, teamwork and heart that have been the hallmarks of the team all season.  After a tying goal midway through the 2^nd half and a spectacular clear off the goal line to keep Lynn from scoring, Rangers scored the winning goal in the final minute to claim the MTOC championship 3-2.

Representing Newton Youth Soccer, the state champion Rangers are a team of 5 freshmen and 13 sophomores from Newton North and South high schools.  Pictured in the photo are: back row, from left: Dan Hawkins, coach, Tim Stanton, Gage Neirinckx (holding standings), Luke Westman, Jackson Moss-Hawkins, Sheldon Cochrane, Peter Block, Sam Gordon-Koven, Paul Bridi, John Westman, assistant coach; front row, from left: Carter Tiernan, Rob Morgan, Jeff Noymer, Arthur Moss-Hawkins, Matthew Moss-Hawkins, Dylan O’Brien, Sam Davis, Nick Knaian; not pictured: Genevieve Moss-Hawkins, assistant coach, Julian Still, Daniel Swain.
