ASA College falls to Nassau in championship game
The ASA College Avengers tried for their third consecutive Northeast Football Conference championship, but they fell short in a 48-20 loss to Nassau Community College at MCU Park in Coney Island on Nov. 8.
“Always tough to lose in a conference championship game,” said head coach Dennis Orlando. “I take my hat off to Nassau. However, it was a good year for us overall and our third straight conference championship bid, winning the last two. You can’t hang your head much about that.”
ASA finished its season with a 6-2 overall record and were 4-1 in NEFC play. It had won the last two conference championships, both against Nassau, and 14 straight NEFC games prior to Saturday’s loss.
