The Varsity soccer team opened the new season against a much improved and very physical JEC team. The Storm was shorthanded, having lost 5 players to injuries. The rest of the team picked up the slack, playing a very intelligent, well organized game, and capitalized on most of the opportunities to score, especially early in the game. In the 4th quarter the starters began to run out of steam but the rest of the guys stepped in and kept the game under control. Everyone on the team contributed to a well-deserved 9-7 victory. A total team effort and a character builder.

Under the threat of an impending snowstorm, the Storm varsity basketball team and their fans boarded their bus and made the long trip to Brooklyn, NY to face the #2 seeded Magen David Warriors in this quarterfinal matchup. With TABC slowing down the game and a bit of nerves for both teams, the first quarter ended in a 5-4 lead for the Storm. As the Storm's defense was smothering the high powered MDY offense, Alex Hirt ('14) (6 pts) and Marty Spiewak ('13) accounted for 6 of the 7 points scored in the 2nd quarter and MDY evened the score at 12 going into the half.

Congratulations to coach Norm Blumenthal on leading his JV Storm Hockey team to their (and his!) league-record 5th straight trip to the championship! In a game they completely dominated from the 5-minute mark of the first period forward, the Storm soundly defeated Ramaz for the third time this season, this time by the score of 6 - 2.

Varsity Basketball: A huge crowd filled the Storm Center for the first round playoff game. TABC came out shooting with Alex Hirt ('14) (9 pts, 5 assists) connecting on a trey to give TABC an early 3-0 lead. However, after 2 treys of their own, Heschel owned a 6-3 lead and would later increase that to 12-7.
