Group Play

Group 1

Group 3

Raritan 4, No. 13 Freehold Twp. 1

Junior Sean Burnett recorded a hat trick and the Rockets (2-5) rolled through the Patriots (2-5-1) in their final match in SCT group play.

Senior Stefan Cojocariu scored the first Raritan goal on a pass from sophomore Steven Russo, followed by Burnett's first goal, which sent the Rockets into halftime with a 2-1 lead.

Burnett then scored twice off rebounds in the second half to provide Raritan with ample insurance.

The loss snaps Freehold Township's streak of 19 straight Shore Conference Tournament berths, which was the longest active streak among Shore Conference teams.

 

Group 5

No. 10 Manalapan 6, Brick Memorial 1

Mike Pepe and Tyler Pylarinos each scored two goals and the Braves (3-3) ran away with a win over the Mustangs (0-5-2), putting them in comfortable position to clinch top spot in the group with a win or draw vs. St. John Vianney in their group-stage finale.

Pepe scored three minutes into the match on a pass from Ano Azivino and Jon Luz set up the first goal by Pylarinos in the 21st. Pylarinos and Pepe scored a minute apart within the final two minutes of the first half to push the Manalapan lead to 4-0 by the intermission.

Travish Butash pushed the lead to 5-0 in the 45th minute and Dylan Friedman capped the Manalapan scoring in the 70th off a pass from Noah Ottenheimer.

Braves goalkeeper Matteo Paolillo came out of the game with a clean sheet before Nate Stryker got Brick Memorial on the board with a goal in the 75th.

 

Group 9

Monmouth 4, Matawan 1

Anthony Cano scored the first and final Monmouth goals and the Falcons (2-4) pulled away for a win over the Huskies (4-3) that sends them through to the SCT knockout stage.

Matt Porto found Cano to set up the first Monmouth goal and Cano converted a penalty kick to cap the scoring. Rob Sherman scored off an assist from Luka Tvirdik and Hakeem Joseph also notched a goal off a set-up from Tanner Simpson.

Nico Skeete accounted for the Matawan goal.

Toms River South 4, Henry Hudson 0

Kenny Caruso scored a first-half hat trick and the Indians (2-1-2) rolled to a win over the Admirals (1-6) to clinch a spot in the SCT bracket.

Caden Langen drew a foul inside the 18-yard box to set up a penalty by Caruso that opened the scoring, then assisted Caruso's second goal. Caruso completed the hat trick by finishing a rebound following a free kick by Brody Robillard.

Noah Beaton buried a shot from beyond the 18-yard box to cap the scoring in the second half after taking a pass from Jake Hall.

 

Regular Season

Non-Division

No. 16 Long Branch 2, No. 14 Rumson-Fair Haven 1 (OT)

Senior Wyatt Vicente ripped a cross off a Rumson defender and into the goal during the eighth minute of overtime and the Green Wave (5-2-1) rallied for a thrilling win over the Bulldogs (5-2-1).

Senior Chris Garcia Lopez scored the tying goal in the 79th minute off a pass from junior Anthony Hernandez, then played a key role in the winning sequence. Garcia Lopez settled a long pass from the back and slipped the ball through to Vicente running up the left flank.

With plenty of space to send a cross, Vicente -- who is the cousin of Rumson-Fair Haven head coach Jeff Soares -- hammered a solid cross to the near post that a Rumson defender knocked inside the post while trying to clear it away.

Rumson did not take the 1-0 lead until the 73rd minute, when Luke D'Angelo headed in a long throw.
