SOMERS POINT – After getting out to a 1-5 start to the season, Austin Sports Center (pictured above) wrapped up an amazing turnaround by rattling off an 8-0-1 run to win the 2008-09 Penguins’ Cup over Phillips’ Landscaping.  Bassetti jumped out to a quick lead in the first period and was able to withstand the constant pressure put on by the ‘Landscapers’.  Phillips’ fought hard all season but didn’t get a lot of breaks.  Perseverance paid off for Phillips as their goalie Charlie Dahl provided a steady presence in net coupled with an offense lead by Kevin Phillips, Jeffrey Dahl and converted defenseman-turned-sniper Gordon Miller.  They raced through the playoffs to the Championship game.  The Austin Sports Center team, which looks to be good again next year with some young returnees, was lead by Jake Babb who had 4 goals, Danny Harvey who seemed to score a hat trick every time you blinked this season, hockey newcomer Kevin Gisondi and with the “MANimal” Timmy Marker prowling the blue line.  Mary Rose Minichino, a rookie goalie prior to this season, finished her penguin season undefeated between the pipes with an 8-0-1 record.  The Austin team literally got better and better with each game as the season progressed.  Phillips’ Landscaping coach Todd Phillips remarked after the game that he was extremely proud of his team for sticking together and fighting each and every week.  Austin’s coach Russ Babb agreed, stating, “by the end of the season I didn’t want to have to play them because of the way their offense came on and never quit coming at you.”
