BTAA boys Coach Bill Conn had his players ready to play. His team started off the game very strong. Bill Conn, Jr. started the game off with a great turn around shot from 18 yards out. This gave the BTAA a 1-0 lead. Moments later, Nick DiGrosso scored to make it 2-0. BTAA had a goal taken away by an offside call by the ref. This let the TBAA back into the game. TBAA scored to make it 2-1 at the half. In the second half, BTAA ran into some bad luck. They had to play 10 against TBAA 11, because of a red card. TBAA scored the next two goals to win the game 3-2.

The BTAA girls traveled to play the Pinelands team. The first half was dominated by the Pinelands. The Pinelands team scored the only two goals in the first half. The half ended with the score Pinelands- 2, BTAA- 0. In the second half, the play was even. Both teams scored a goal. BTAA played better, with the final score Pinelands -3, BTAA -1
