New Hyde Park Gladiators
New Hyde Park went 3-0 last week and looks like one of the favorites to come on top in League 3. Coach Mike Milio's squad is the the only undefeated team left in Nassau County this spring.

MacArthur Generals
MacArthur won both its games last week in League 2 play and stands at 6-2 halfway through the season. The Generals went 9-8 last year so an improved overall record could be in the works for coach John Nessler and his team.

Manhasset Indians
Manhasset had a rough few days two weeks ago, allowing 27 total goals in consecutive losses to Connecticut powers Ridgefield and Darien. But the Indians rebounded last week downing Syosset and Rumson-Fair Haven. Coach Keith Cromwell looks to get his team rolling before the showdown with Garden City on May 3rd.
