Friday, Oct. 13

Shore Conference Tournament

Quarterfinals

(12) Middletown North 1, (20) Toms River East 0

Josiah Stepney scored the game's lone goal in the 54th minute and the Lions blanked the Raiders to reach the SCT semifinals for the second straight year and fourth time in program history.

In the 54th, sophomore Paulie Que was first to a punt from Middletown North goalkeeper Landon Terrell and popped it over the back line. Stepney ran onto it, drew Toms River East goalkeeper Bobby Calvo off his line, and chipped a shot into the goal.

Calvo stymied the Lions the rest of the game, racking up 11 saves and preventing a second goal with a double-save on consecutive shots by Stepney and Tommy Valinotti in the 68th minute.

Calvo also got some help from his defense in the first half, when sophomore defender Aiden Reis cleared the ball away from the end-line as it was heading into the goal during the 28th minute.

Terrell needed only three saves to nail down the shutout for Middletown North, which will take on top-seeded CBA for the second straight season in the semifinals.

(1) CBA 2, (8) Marlboro 1 (OT)

Dylan Millevoi scored an equalizer and a golden goal to deliver the Colts a come-from-behind win over the Mustangs that sends the two-time defending champions back to the SCT semifinals for the fifth consecutive tournament.

Goalkeeper Arnav Bitla saved a point-blank shot by Millevoi with two minutes left in regulation and another long strike by Millevoi in the final seconds of the first overtime period. He also got a piece of a 20-yard strike by Dimitry Corba that clanged off the crossbar in the 67th minute. All three saves kept the game tied, 1-1.

In the 13th minute of overtime, Millevoi finally broke through for goal No. 2 on the day. CBA swung the ball around to right outside back Dan Dinnell, who played a give-and-go with Nick Vieira to create some extra space. After another touch forward, Dinnell played the ball into the box from the right side, where Millevoi camped out and elevated for the header.

Millevoi beat his defender and Bitla to the ball with his head and flicked it into the exposed net for the golden goal.

Marlboro jumped on the board first when Wyatt Oechsner gathered a 40-yard free kick, turned and buried a shot inside the near post three minutes into the second half.

CBA drew even in the 52nd, when Corba found his fellow senior, Millevoi with a through-ball into the left side of the box. Millevoi tracked it down and, without breaking stride, struck a shot inside the far right post.

CBA will play No. 12 Middletown North in the SCT semifinals on Wednesday night at Memorial Field at Summerfield Elementary School in Neptune. It marks the second straight year the teams will meet in the semifinal, with CBA winning last year's game, 2-1, on a memorable goal by Jack D'Eletto in the final two minutes.

Corba left Friday's game late in regulation with a knee injury, according to coach Tom Mulligan, and did not return. CBA won last year's Shore Conference Tournament without top scorer Will Thygeson and would be without an attacking center midfielder and second-leading scorer if Corba (five goals, five assists) is unable to play next week.
