Head coach Craig Newman, assistant coach Betty Bohringer and the Panthers took part in the community service project in Oyster Bay, New York.  Old Westbury's women's soccer team met on campus early Saturday morning to head over to Oyster Bay to participate in the cleanup. 

The Panthers were part of an estimated 200 volunteers who were mobilized from 8 a.m. – noon, combining to remove 20 tons of refuse from the ecosystem during the day-long event. 

At one point, the women's soccer team capitalized on a photo opportunity with Governor Andrew Cuomo and famed pianist, singer-songwriter and composer Billy Joel.   

The event was sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy and American Littoral Society while the Town of Oyster Bay, Oyster Bay Sail & Power Squadron, North Oyster Bay Baymen's Association and Friends of the Bay jointly coordinated the effort locally.
