NRS Shore Sports Network Player of the Week

P.J. Ringel, Marlboro

Already recognized as a divisional player of the week, Ringel continued his scoring tear last week in three big Marlboro wins. He began the week with a hat trick in a 4-1 win over Neptune, then scored two huge goals in a win over nationally ranked CBA. Although he did not score in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Pinelands in the Shore Conference Tournament, Ringel assisted the goal by Brian Dates that proved to be the difference.

For the season, Ringel now has 17 goals for a Marlboro team that is on a Shore-Conference-best 14-game winning streak. Marlboro is one win from matching season-high winning streaks in the conference held by CBA and Point Boro, both of which saw their runs end last week.

A North Honorable Mention: Patrick Kollman, CBA; Adrian Barajas, Freehold Twp.; Ryan Tompkins, Colts Neck; Jon Finocchiaro, Freehold Twp.
