Summer 2009 Recap

After founding and running Hofstra Club Basketball during their inaugural season of operation, Max Margulis decided to start a team in the Summer 2009 92nd Street Y B-Division. The squad would be known as Max's Auerbachers, but the roster was comprised of many players who competed against the team at Hofstra in Intramural 5v5 Basketball at the Recreation Center.

Max's Auerbachers finished 7-3, clinched the #2 seed and a first round playoff bye en route to winning the championship. In the title game, Max's Auerbachers beat the undefeated and established 92nd Street Y B-Division veterans, Eric K - Carolina Blue, in overtime by a final score of 46-40.
