The Siena commit had a huge week for the Colts with 18 points and a career milestone as CBA hits its stride late in the season.

Casner had nine goals and nine assists in three games - all wins for CBA - while reaching 100 career goals. He started his week by scoring two goals and adding three assists in an 11-6 win over Middletown South. In a crucial game against rival Freehold Township, Casner had a hat trick while dishing out a game-high five assists in the Colts' best game of  the season, a 14-4 win over the Patriots to clinch the Class A North division title.

He continued his torrid play with four goals and one assist in a 14-3 win over St. John Vianney in the opening round of the Shore Conference Tournament, putting him over 100 career goals.

CBA is the No. 4 seed in the Shore Conference Tournament, and Casner will try to help the Colts reach the championship game for the first time since 2009.
