Class A North

No. 1 Manalapan 4, Howell 0

Mitchel Volis assisted a first-half goal by Rocky Garretson and scored the first of three second-half goals by Manalapan as the Braves (10-1-2, 9-1-2) blanked the Rebels (2-9-2, 2-8-2) to move within a win of a second straight Class A North title. Adam Weisberger ripped home a goal less than three minutes after Volis game Manalapan a 2-0 lead in the 44th minute.

Ryan Hammer capped the scoring with a goal midway through the second half. Manalapan can win the Class A North championship with a win or tie against CBA on Wednesday and can still win the championship with a loss Wednesday as long as the Braves beat Freehold on Friday.

Marlboro 5, Middletown South 0

Ben Metzger pumped in a hat trick and P.J. Ringel added a goal and an assist to help the Mustangs (7-6-1, 5-6-1) beat the Eagles (1-13, 1-11) and close in on a potential Shore Conference Tournament berth. Marlboro can qualify for the SCT with a tie against either Middletown North on Thursday or CBA on Friday.

Bryan DaSilva added the fifth Marlboro goal to cap the scoring in the 55th minute.

Freehold 1, No. 9 Middletown North 1

Middletown North's Ryan Binn and Freehold's Dom Matteo traded goals within two minutes of one another and the Lions (6-5-3, 6-3-3) and Colonials (5-6-3, 4-6-2) settled for a draw. Ryan Harmon assisted Binn's goal in the 25th minute.

With the tie, Freehold keeps its hope for a Shore Conference Tournament berth alive, while Middletown North officially clinches an SCT berth. The Lions are, however, eliminated from the Class A North race, both overall and public. Freehold will be eliminated from SCT contention with a loss against either Freehold Township or Manalapan and must win at least one of the two games.

No. 1 Point Boro 2, Jackson Liberty 1

Sam Monaco hit a 20-yard shot to set off a five-minute scoring spree and Jake Woodring capped it with the game-winning goal as the Panthers (12-2, 11-1) edged the Lions (8-6, 8-4) for the second time this season to win their 11th straight and clinch no worse than a share of the Class B South division championship.

Monaco's strike gave Point Boro a 1-0 lead in the 43rd minute, but Adam Haidi answered back by converting a penalty kick in the 46th. Two minutes later, Woodring found the back of the net with the goal that proved to be the game-winner.
