Sophomore forward Katie Mannino scored the first hat trick of her career and it came at a perfect time. With a trip to the semi-finals of the Shore Conference Tournament at stake, the young Devils came out strong pounding the Ocean net. 10 minutes into the game freshman forward, Jess Welch, got the game winner on an assist from Mannino. Just 2 minutes later Katie M scored her first goal and added her second 3 minutes later with Kara Casale getting the assist.
Shore dominated the midfield with Carol Middough and Grace Santi shutting down Oceans attempts to control the middle while pressuring the Ocean backfield with textbook 2 v 1 combinations. The Shore backfield with seniors, Katie Aitkens and Morgan Jones were the backbone of the defense with timely interceptions and counter attacks.
The defense held the Spartans to just 9 shots and senior keeper Shannon Johnson kept Ocean off the board with 3 saves. The Blue Devils stuck to the game plan and showed mental and physical toughness throughout the game. We are proud of how the young Devils played against a very good Ocean team.
Shore enters the semi-finals for the 14th year in a row and they are playing a very good Freehold Boro team at Holmdel at 5pm on Wednesday . Shore has played Boro the last 2 years in the finals with Shore winning the title both years. Come out and support as they continue to defend the SCT tittle.
