The repeat treat got sweeter as head coach Vince Allegra suddenly dropped and did 10 burpees on the turf ‑ the price of losing a wager with daughter Francesca and fellow goalkeeper Morgan Meredith in practice.
“I actually owe more,” Allegra said, “I put it off for as many weeks as possible and I told them that I would do 10 if we win today.”
