There Must Be Something In That Pasta - Falcon Girls BB Advances To The Semi-Finals!!!!!

Wow! I hope you had a chance to experience the game last night at SFX! The pasta party was fantastic, the crowd was amazing and the girls completed the trifecta winning a hard fought battle over a tough IC team. They started down 6 - 0 but roared back to a thrilling 18-13 victory! We will face St. John of the Cross Thursday March 23 at 5PM at SFX for a trip to the championship game! We're riding the Luck of the Italians in this one with Pizza in concessions - so come support your Falcons....and feed your Families!

Thanks!

Pat McMahon, AD
