| South Jersey Soccer: Hurricanes Quiet Storm Sunday, March 12, 2000 By Jerry Amari A soccer match played in early March usually means one thing, a lot of wind. At game time on March 12th was no exception. The Vineland Under-13 boys traveling soccer team hosted Mt. Laurel at the Vineland Soccer Complex with winds of 15 to 20 mph blowing down the field. The gusty winds seemed appropriate with two teams named the "Hurricanes" (V), and the "Storm" (ML). |

| South Jersey Soccer: Typhoons Stop Hurricanes Sunday, March 5, 2000 By Jerry Amari The Vineland Hurricanes traveled to Voorhees, NJ for the first game of the Spring traveling soccer season.

Voorhees quickly pressured Vineland keeper Jeremey Chini, but could not score until 22 minutes into the contest. Vineland's Billy Redden was able to work the ball upfield to Saverio Brunnetti. Sal's crossing pass to Kerry Daplyn was ruled offside by the referee and thwarted the only serious threat by the Hurricanes in the first half. The Vineland defense led by Mike Rigo, Dan Peretti, and Nick Ruskoski were able to turn away several Voorhees shots on goal. |

| South Jersey Soccer: Vineland Hurricanes Overcome Mt. Laurel Jaguars Sunday, November 1, 1998 By Jerry Amari The Vineland Hurricanes traveled to Lenape Regional High School to play the Mt.

Laurel counterattack gave the Jaguars a 1-0 lead at the 13 minute mark. |
