-Thanks to all those who participated in the 2011 Annual Odd/Even Alumni Game. Over 60 alumni appeared at the event, from the original club team in 1978 all the way through the Class of 2010.

Special thanks to Jim Regan, father of Pat Regan '06, for officiating the game.

Also special thanks to Associate AD for External Services Rob Emmerich and Mike Poch '05 for coordinating the game, the rosters, and the details of entire event.

-Offensive MVP goes to Kevin Shea '03 for amassing multiple scores for the Odd Team, including a fantastic around the world shot that hit the top left corner.

-Defensive MVP goes to Jeff Capri '89, who stepped into the cage to defend the Even Team. Capri is not a goalkeeper by trade. Honorable mention for Kevin Sheehan '88 who battled the traffic and the elements from the Carolina coast all the way up to Long Island for the game, and played every minute.
