The Battle of Monmouth Rockets, an under 9 boys soccer team, finished a very successful fall season with an overall record of 10-4-5, taking second place in the Monmouth-Ocean Soccer Association’s U9 Premier IV Division, in addition to first place in both the East Brunswick and Spook-A-Rama Classic tournaments. A stingy defense anchored by Brandon Coluccio, Joe Procopio, Alex Terwilliger, Mike Utset and Chris Wishart, along with outstanding goaltending by Mike Casari and Matt Magliocco, made scoring against the Rockets very difficult this season. The Rockets’ offense, powered by Rob Casari, Jim Meindl, Nick Pascale, Frank Pluchino, Joe Reyes, Patrick Risi, Mario Rangel and Aakash Shah, kept constant pressure on their opponents, capitalizing on many scoring opportunities. The team is coached by Steve Casari, Jim Meindl and George Pascale, as well as team dad Frank Pluchino.
