South Jersey Group 2

3-Wall 14, 6-Cranford 6

Senior attackman Tim O'Hern scored five goals with one assist and senior attackman Mike McIntyre tallied three goals and three assists as the Crimson Knights (14-4) outscored the Cougars 8-1 in the second half to advance to the sectional semifinals for the first time in program history and also set the school single-season wins record.

Cranford (11-7) scored three goals in the final 65 seconds of the first half to cut Wall's lead to 6-5, but a shorthanded goal by O'Hern sparked a four-goal run during a six-goal third-quarter surge that put the game away. Sean DeMott made 11 saves in goal while Kyle Peters notched two goals and two assists and Will Forte added two goals and one assist. Jack Textor and Logan Peters each scored once.

Wall will square off against defending-champion Rumson-Fair Haven in the semifinals in a rematch of a Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinal game won by Rumson, 10-9.

Lacey led 4-3 after the first quarter and the game was tied 7-7 at halftime, but Rumson used a 4-1 run in the third quarter to take an 11-8 lead and continued to build its advantage from there. Kiel Forlenza and Patrick Jamin each tallied two goals and two assists while Drew Shaw also scored twice. Billy Garavente and Harry Ricker chipped in with one goal and one assist each and Alex Maldjian scored once. Ryan Croddick made fives saves and Doug Duprey had two saves.

Manasquan answered on goals by Pendergist and Mulligan to take an 8-6 lead and was able to stay in front the rest of the way. Glen Ridge did close 8-7 in the third and then 11-10 in the fourth quarter, but Mulligan's tap-in goal off a great pass from sophomore midfielder Matt Franzoni with 4:34 to play gave the Warriors an insurance goal.

The game featured 16 total penalties, including six in a chippy third quarter.

Birch now has a state-best and Shore Conference-record 111 goals and 161 points this season.
