Soccer season nearing an end

Patrick has had two shut-outs this season as goalkeeper for the Mount Vernon team in the Westchester Youth Soccer League high-school-age boys division.

His team, called the Mount Vernon Buick Storm, holds a 4-2-2 record with one game left to play.

Meanwhile Christine's Scotch Plains-Fanwood team will play its final game next weekend. Her team finished the regular season with a 4-1 won-loss record. The same team that gave them their only regular-season defeat also beat them in the first playoff round, so they'll be playing for third place.
