2012 Season Review:

 Another season has passed and once again it is time to give a huge thanks to all the players, alumni and spectators who have been so supportive of MCC this year. Even though we did not win the Championship game we had one of our most successful seasons in a decade.

A special thanks goes to all the people who work so hard behind the scenes like Wes, Andrew and Chuck and another thank you to Allan, Richie and Ira who went above and beyond when it came to recruiting the excellent additions to the squad this year. Without these people the success of MCC would not be where it is today.

 This year we finished 7-3-1(22pts) GD +21 and last year we closed out the season at 4-5-1 (13pts) -6. This shows another huge improvement from the previous year and the bar for next year has been raised significantly higher.

Here's to bringing the championship back in 2013!

The next event is the "MCC Annual Awards Gathering/Pub Crawl" on Saturday December 8th, 2012 at Merion. The "Golden Boot" winner, the "Bunion Bowl" winner and all other awards will be unveiled at that time.

2012 Season Record: 

7-3-1 (+21) - 22 pts
