Blue Colts Men's Soccer Comes Back to Beat Bucks in OT

The Blue Colts men's soccer team traveled to take on Bucks County on Sept. 1. The men were still looking for their first win of the season after losing their first game against Bronx.

In the 33rd minute, the Colts got on the board first with an unassisted goal from Collins Aidoo. The score would remain 1-0 at the end of the first period. In the second period, the Bucks would score three goals. 

The tying goal came off a penalty kick from Derek Czerniak in the 56th minute. Just 10 minutes later, in the 66th minute, Bucks took the lead when Victor Molina scored on a penalty kick. Czerniak scored his second goal of the game and Bucks led 3-1 in the 77th minute.

The Colts came back furious in the final 13 minutes. In the 82nd minute, Jorge Sanchez scored to close the gap. In the 87th minute, five minutes after Sanchez's goal, Aidoo scored his second goal of the game to send the game into overtime. 

In overtime, the game-winning goal for the Colts came from Idrissa Kamara in the 97th minute. The Colts won their first game of the season by a final score of 4-3.

A Look Back at Caitlyn Murray's 2016 Softball Season

Image
Caitlin Murray had her best season as a pitcher for the Carteret High School Ramblers softball team. She had to give herself a pat on the back for the way she played. "I am beyond proud of my self for the season that I had," Murray said, "Going into the season, I wanted to do better than I did last year, which meant I had to put more time into practice to be able to fulfill my goal." Last season, Murray allowed 127 runs and only struck out 52 batters. In 2016, she allowed 116 runs, but reached a milestone of 122 strikeouts. She'll never forget the day she recorded her 100th strikeout. "It was a special day because I had most of my family and friends there to watch me," she said, "but the best part was knowing that on my grandma's first day out of the house after surgery, she came to watch this special moment." While there was bright moments in her season, there were also the dark ones. Whenever we are losing a game, I

The Incredible Story of Audrey Walker

Image
Nine year old Audrey Walker of Campbell, CA is a miracle of God. Walker was born with several medical conditions that caused her to be born without eyes and she had immediate open heart surgery after she was born.  The troubles didn't stop there, however. 10 days after the surgery, Audrey's throat began to close. Breathing became impossible.

When Jim and his wife Heather went for the ultrasound, doctors said that Audrey would come out dead or would need emergency life-saving surgery the moment she was born. Doctors also gave her only two years to live if the surgeries she endured didn't go as planned. Jim found a doctor, Dr. Frank Hanley, who could save Audrey's life through a procedure he created called unifocalizat

New York Giants Also a Serious Contender in 2016

Image
(photo credit: bossip.com) The New York Giants are beginning to look like a Super Bowl team once again in 2016. They have three great wide receivers in Odell Beckham Jr, Victor Cruz and rookie receiver Sterling Shepard out of Oklahoma.  They of course still have their Hall of Fame quarterback in Eli Manning and their defense has also grown a great deal. They will Jason Pierre Paul back for the entire season after he missed half of last season after losing a finger in a July 4, 2015 fireworks accident.  They also recently signed DE Olivier Vernon, who recently was with the Miami Dolphins. They also got a huge draft pick with Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple with the 10th overall pick. The offense will sure be a hot one, the defensive line will be one teams will be preparing for and the secondary will be one that will be tops in the league.  The only missing piece to the Giants playoff puzzle is a running back that is consistent, something they have not had since Ahmad Bradshaw.
