Senior A.J. Emnace scored two goals to lead a Mariners onslaught of the rival Raiders as Toms River North opened its season with a statement win.

Emnace opened the scoring in the 21st minute by knocking a corner kick from senior David Anderson into the goal. Senior Jared Brown opened the second-half scoring in the 42nd, when he drew a penalty kick, was stuffed by Toms River East freshman goalkeeper Bobby Calvo, but followed up the miss with a finish for a 2-0 lead.

Brown then set up Emnace's second goal with a short through-ball that the senior forward slipped inside the near left post in the 47th.
