June 16, 2016-Remembering their 5-0 loss to B/W Gottschee in the 2013 Arch Capital Group Cup final, the Little Neck/Douglaston Red Dragons of the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) returned to the Peter Collins Soccer Park on June 11 on a mission. Their Boys-Under-15 Arch Capital Group Cup final against South Bronx United 00 La Furia Azul of the Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League (CJSL) featured many opportunities but no goals, in regulation or overtime.
 
It took seven rounds but Little Neck/Douglaston won in the shootout, 5-4. Matthew Asca, Dean Athaniados, Anthony Dingco, Hoyoung Lee and Lucas Wiacek converted their penalty kicks for Little Neck/Douglaston.
 
“We wanted it more and were a bit more disciplined,” said Little Neck/Douglaston coach Marc Adamek. “We lost here in the finals, 5-0, and we remembered that.”
 
South Bronx United received the Howard Rubenstein Sportsmanship Award as determined by the game officials. Now living in Kentucky, Mr. Rubenstein was President of ENYYSA from 1980 to 1984.
