TOMS RIVER, NJ (September 9, 2005) – The Jersey Shore Boca men’s open team will begin their 2005-2006 season this Sunday as they face the Shore Hurricane SC at 9am at the Manchester Soccer Complex as they seek to build upon the success of last season and return to the Garden State Soccer League (GSSL) Cup finals again this year.
The Boca men’s open team is coming off of a very successful 2004-2005 season.
The team plays in the Semi-Pro Division of the Garden State Soccer League and had an overall record of 14-6-2 last year which included advancing to both the New Jersey Amateur Cup finals as well as the finals of the GSSL Semi-Pro League Cup last year.
Boca also captured the 2004 New Jersey State Cup in the men’s open division.
Former Shore soccer standouts Ryan Applegate of Central Regional (’94) – Rowan University and Christian Treney of Toms River East (’94) – Methodist College are player-coaches of the team.
Also expected to make contributions for the Boca men this year are former Monmouth University players Guy Lockwood (Southern Regional ‘90) and John Carozza (Central Regional ‘01) along with Mike McCullion, a former Monsignor Donovan High School (‘96) and College of New Jersey (Trenton State College) standout, Brian Hutterman (Toms River East ’92 – Richard Stockton College), Chris Auriano (Toms River North ’00 – William Paterson University), Moses Mingle (St. Raymond’s ’95 – FDU Teaneck) as well as long-time Boca veteran Eddie Decker (Toms River East ‘88 – East Stroudsburg University), who played professionally with the NJ Stallions of the USL and with Boca’s PDL team in 2003.
Lithuanian born Thomas Bannionis (Berkeley Township), the team’s MVP high-scoring forward from last year will also be returning.
New additions to the Boca men’s open team this year include Justin Fuccello (Brick), Frank Guacdascione (Manchester), Oren Solon (Bayville) and former Ocean County College standout Eric Davis (Lakewood) who all played for the Boca U23 team this past summer in the Mid-Atlantic Summer Showcase League.
Fuccello led the Boca U23s this past summer with two goals and four assists while Solon contributed one goal and one assist.
Fuccello and Guacdascione are also long-time members of the Jersey Shore Boca club with Fuccello playing on Boca’s initial Super Y-League teams earlier in his career.
