Other Schools vs Smithtown Christian

HIGHLIGHTS

Mount Academy 3, Smithtown Christian 2: Charles Bellini and Rich Clinton answered when Smithtown Christian needed two goals to tie it. But the Knights couldn't come through with the go-ahead goal in their 3-2 defeat to Mount Academy (10-2) in the Class D Regional Semifinals. "It just didn't come together early on today," Smithtown Christian coach Pat Nieto said. "We responded quickly, which was good, but we had a couple of finishing opportunities that we just didn't follow through on." The Knights (8-4-1) fell behind 2-0 early, before Clinton cut Mt. Academy's lead to 2-1 with a goal in the 10th minute. Bellini tied the score at two in the 17th minute. Nieto said Mt. Academy converted the eventual game-winner on a failed clear attempt inside the box by Smithtown Christian.
