SHORE VS BORDENTOWN

  Junior mid, Grace Santi scored 2 goals to lead Shore to a 3-0 win over Bordentown in the quarterfinals of the NJ North 2 Group 1 State Tournament. Also scoring for Shore was sophomore Katie Mannino as Shore outshot Bordentown 47 to 8.

Junior Carol Middough and senior Kara Casale added assists and senior Keeper Shannon Johnson had three saves to record the shutout as Shore ran their record to 17 and 1.

Shore had trouble finishing in the circle after their 10 day layoff but played hard aggressive hockey to preserve the wind. 

Shore awaits Thursdays winner of Pingry-Metuchen and will play either at Pingry or at Home. The game is scheduled for Monday but can be played sooner. 

Defensively, sweeper Michaela Curtis played outstanding defense and Katie Mannino and freshman Jessica Welch constantly put pressure on the opponents defense.

Bordentown came to Shore with a truckload of supplies to help support the community in an outstanding gesture of compassion. We thank them and the Council Rock field hockey team who also sent needed goods to our school. Many of the Shore hockey players have been affected deeply by the recent storm and have learned a great lesson about sportsmanship by these 2 schools.
