The 14U team went 3-1-1 on the weekend, with wins vs. NJ Colonials (1-0), Washington Pride (4-0), and Boston Shamrocks (2-0).  Their tie came vs. Newbridge Academy (2-2) and their loss came against a strong NAHA Prospects team (2-0).  The Jr Flyers boasted solid team defense all weekend en route to 3 shutouts by standout goaltender, Olivia Cimorelli.
