Clippers, Mike Pappalardi #11 and Michael Marando (#7), of the Xaverian High School scored in the early first half of the Catholic High Schools Athletic Association Soccer League Division "A” Varsity soccer match, at the Verrazano Complex. However, the Knights of Xavier  High School shut the X-Men in the second half.  In fact, the Knights dominated the second half of the competition, but were not able to score, despite several attempts at scoring.

During the second half, both teams played with 10 players, as the missing young athletes were ejected due to physical exchanges, which seemed to have motivated the Knights, but left the Clippers at a huge disadvantage.

Head Coach, Carlos Jaguando, along with his assistant coach, Angelo Badias, witnessed the improvement in the Clippers efforts, as the X-Men seem to communicate more than the last time www.amamat.com webcasted their soccer game against Archbishop Stepinac on September 18, 2008, at the same sports complex.

Although the Knights played with a lot of emotions, in the second half, they seemed to play a more aggressive, organized soccer game, as they pass the ball better than the mediocre way they play their first half.
