Shore Conference Boys Soccer Saturday SCT Scoreboard, Oct. 14

Shore Conference Tournament

Quarterfinals

(2) Howell 4, (7) Ocean 1

Juniors Tye Maser and Nick Turturro each scored two goals and the Rebels responded to Ocean's first strike with four unanswered goals in a quarterfinal win over the Spartans.

Howell advances to the SCT semifinal round for the second straight year and will face No. 3 Toms River North Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Memorial Field at Summerfield Elementary School in Neptune.

Ocean jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a header by junior Noor Eraky off a far-post corner kick by classmate Jacob Gomez in the 14th minute.

A little under 10 minutes later, Maser headed a cross from Turturro into the goal for the equalizer and the game remained tied for all of 51 seconds. Later in the 24th minute, junior Kam Brown raced the ball toward the end-line on the right side, crossed it to the middle and Turturro slammed it in from point-blank range for a 2-1 Howell lead.

Maser stretched the Howell lead to 3-1 in the 54th by taking a pass from senior Marcello Romano and ripping a shot that redirected off a defender and into the goal.

A takedown just inside the 18-yard box in the 64th minute set up the fourth Howell goal, which Turturro finished after rebounding a save by Ocean goalkeeper Zach Frabizio on his initial penalty kick attempt.

(3) Toms River North 1, (6) St. Rose 0

Anthony Ruggiero tracked a cross from Kosta Papanikoas and finished it off during the first half -- the lone goal in a Mariners win over the Purple Roses that sends Toms River North to the SCT semifinals for the second time in three years.

Toms River North's defense and goalkeeper Mike Vivolo held the line the rest of the way and St. Rose cleared a shot off the end-line in the second half to keep its deficit at 1-0.

Two years after reaching the SCT championship game, Toms River North will attempt to get back to the final when the Mariners take on No. 2 Howell Wednesday evening at Summerfield Elementary School in Neptune.
