Four games left in the soccer season, and the Boys' squad has picked the right time to get hot.
The Netmen have won their last three league games and are in sole possession of third place in the Western League and within striking range for one of the top two spots.
High-powered offense has been the key in their last three wins which came against the LACES Unicorns, Venice Gondoliers and Westchester Comets. The Netmen have outscored their opponents 9-3 during the winning streak.
Defensively the Cats held the Unicorns to a shutout in their Jan. 20 match, the Cats' first of the season, and the Gondos were only able to score once in their Jan. 22 meeting.
Junior striker Franklin Quinones has been a star all season long, but really broke out in the Cats three straight wins. Quinones scored six goals in the three matches, including a hat-trick yesterday against the Comets. He is one of the top goal scorers in the league as his total for the season is now up to an impressive thirteen goals.
The winning streak has provided optimism for the squad, but matches with huge implications for the final league standings loom ahead. Road matches against the Palisades Dolphins on Feb. 4 and against the Fairfax Lions, who are currently in first place in the Western League, on Feb. 9 could decide who is at the top of the league table at the end of the season.
The Cats' travel to Hamilton tomorrow to take on the Yankees at 2:30 p.m.
