The Catholic tri-op was playing in just its second game of the season because of a prior pause due to COVID-19 exposure while Middletown South had just resumed its season on Friday and was coming off a 3-2 victory over No. 2 St. John Vianney.

Junior forward Nate Block got Middletown South on the board at 11:58 of the second period but that was as close as the Eagles would get. Butchko added a short-handed goal off an assist from William Hambsch at 11:48 of the third period to seal the victory.

Grant finished with a goal and an assist and freshman Connor Harms chipped in with two assists.

Jack Collings made 18 saves for Middletown South.

Senior forward Michael Kuras scored with 5:42 left in regulation off assists from Connor Spagnuola and Andrew Croddick to snap a two-all tie and send the Bulldogs (1-0-1) to their first win of the season.

Ryan Croddick, James Danielczyk and Kuras each scored goals and Ronan Hickey made 14 saves to lead Rumson past the Blue Devils (4-1-1), who entered the game unbeaten and ranked No. 19 in the state by NJ Advance Media. Rumson was playing in just its second game of the season and first since Jan. 25.
