(16) Ocean 2, (17) Freehold 1 (OT)

Junior Wadneson Alexis scored with a shot from the end-line on the right side of the goal as time expired in the first overtime period and the Spartans beat the Colonials in thrilling fashion to advance to the SCT round of 16 to meet top-seeded Toms River South for the third straight season.

Alexis ran onto a pass from Claudio Martins as the final seconds ticked away and fired a shot from the right-side of the 18-yard box that Freehold goalkeeper Jesus Lopez saved. The ball came right back to Alexis. Who regained his footing long enough to send a falling shot over Flores that glanced the crossbar, hit the inside of the far left post and carry over the line as the clock hit all zeroes.

Lopez saved two quality opportunities by Alexis in the opening three minutes and also made two acrobatic saves to deny junior Marlhens Nasanes in the final six minutes of regulation. Ocean goalkeeper Yanni Kavarakas saved a shot to the near post by Andy Rizo with a diving stop in the 67th minute.

Rizo scored the equalizer in the 44th minute off a well-placed through-ball from senior Anthony Matteo. Rizo outran the last defender to the ball, drew Kavarakas off his line and tapped a shot past him to tie the game at 1.

Ocean took a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute on a penalty kick by Martins. Ian Dwyer beat Lopez to a ball in the box to the left of the goal and Lopez took Dwyer out to set up the penalty.
