Brooklyn Education: Clippers and Cosmos at MCU Park

Friday, June 16, was Xaverian Night at the New York Cosmos home game against Puerto Rico FC at MCU Park.

The evening started with a welcome from the Xaverian jazz combo. Several alumni players joined the young musicians to welcome all attendees at the park. They added a bit of Clipper flare to some jazz standards. The Xaverian flavor continued with a beautiful performance of the national anthem before the game began.

The highlight of the evening came during halftime, when Xaverian’s JV girls’ soccer team was honored for winning the CHSAA city championship, the first girls’ title in school history.

The team posted an undefeated season, recording seven shutouts while outscoring their opponents by a total of 50 goals. This historic team will next be seen competing on the Tier 1 Varsity Level against the top schools in the city.
