  • 8 West Milford Penalties (no one likes to lose and get shutout)
  • #8 Evan Xhumba: First and Game Winning Goal less than two minutes into the first period
  • #4 Michael Sofia scores 2 goals (4×2=8) 😉 also, Michael was 8 inches away from scoring a hat trick, maybe next game? (For a defenseman, he was more forward than the forwards)
