"The key is to keep improving and to keep pushing forward," noted assistant coach Johnny Grbic. "If we continue to play this way in the 2nd half promotion should be a foregone conclusion.

The NY Croatia Reserves are in the middle of the table and still in the running for the D'Arpino State Cup. Not bad considering they are a 1st year team that is still looking to find its form.
