New York Cosmos News Release
NEW YORK - The New York Cosmos were today presented with the NASL Fall Season Championship trophy by the league's Commissioner, Bill Peterson at Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University.
"The Cosmos' Fall Season title is a tribute to the way the organization is run and the system that Giovanni Savarese and his staff have in place," said Peterson.
"Year in and year out, the Cosmos compete for Championships, they epitomize professionalism, and the players and coaches represent the club's legacy well," he added.
The Cosmos, who are defending champions, wrapped up the Fall Season title last Saturday with a win against Jacksonville Armada FC 4-2 at Community First Park. Scoring two goals in the waning minutes of the match, the Cosmos not only guaranteed to finish with the best overall record in the league for the second straight year, giving them home field advantage throughout the postseason, but also posted a 12-5-3 (Fall) and 18-5-7 (Combined) records.
"We feel very proud of bringing this trophy to our fans and will continue working hard to finish the season strong," said Cosmos Head Coach and Sporting Director, Giovanni Savarese. "The team and staff have done an incredible job throughout the season and we are excited to host another postseason match at home."
Fans will be able to see the trophy and take pictures at the Cosmos' last regular season home match on Saturday, October 22, against Miami FC at 7pm ET.
