by Wells Fargo® customers are eligible to receive an additional interest rate bonus on these accounts.3
1. To qualify for this o er, you must have a new or existing Platinum Savings account and enroll the account in this o er between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. This o er is subject to change at any time, without notice. This o er is available only to Platinum
Savings customers in the following states: CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NJ, NY, SC and VA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 2.08% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money (from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or its a liates) to the
enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the term of this o er. The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this o er is 2.10%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for
a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the o er. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000 minimum, the Special Rate will not apply and the interest rate will revert
to the standard interest rate applicable to your Platinum Savings account. As of 12/10/2018, the standard interest rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NJ, NY, SC and VA with an account balance of $0.01 to $99,999.99 is 0.03%

of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, standard interest rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any
month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1
million. O er not available to Private Banking, Wealth, Business Banking or Wholesale customers. 2. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is e ective for accounts opened between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. The 11-month New Dollar CD special requires a minimum
of $25,000 brought to Wells Fargo from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank N.A., or its a liates to earn the advertised APY. Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this o er. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is
compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A fee for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the Special Rate CD will automatically renew for a
term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in e ect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has noti ed you otherwise. Due to the new money requirement, accounts may only be opened at your local branch. Wells Fargo reserves
the right to modify or discontinue the o er at any time without notice. O er cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit o er. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this o er only and cannot be transferred to another
account to qualify for any other consumer deposit o er. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit o er requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the o er requirements
and quali cations. O er cannot be reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in
qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage
balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s
then-current applicable rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking
account will be converted to another checking product or closed.

“We have started to focus on the defensive side of our
game more,”Brewster/Yorktown’s Justin Groux said.“Our
positioning is better, we make less turnovers, and we are
capitalizing on chances when we need to.”
With the score knotted at 1-1 Groux (1G, 2A), assisted
on omas Mark’s goal that broke the tie.
“I skated the puck in around the net and saw Tom wait-

said. “Taking the lead gave us the momentum we needed
to expose the skill gap between us and them.”
Sava Makarenko (1G, 1A) later scored an unassisted
goal before Pawling tallied an unassisted goal of their own.
Groux then recorded his own unassisted score with just

Brewster/Yorktown a 4-2 advantage going into the rst

“Sava and I had a 2 on 1, he was covered so I shot the
