Rams Win SCT
• Jersey Sporting News
Page 3
By Michael Rogers
The Southern boys lacrosse team had been to the finals of the Shore Conference Tournament two years in a row and for two straight years came up short losing to the Bulldogs of Rumson Fair Haven. The two teams met once again in this year’s final and the Rams left no doubt by beating the Bulldogs 16 to 6 to capture the school’s first Shore Conference Tournament Championship. This was the second time this season that Southern beat Rumson and brought the Rams undefeated record to 17-0 this season. Southern was the #1 seed in the tournament with Rumson as the #2 seed and in the final Southern jumped out to an early lead and used a steady offense along with a very tough defense to shut down the high scoring Bulldog attack. Goalie Brendan Lefanto had a big game making 13 saves in the game helping to secure the victory. Southern jumped out to a 4-1 first period lead and a 8-2 half time lead as Chris Smith kept winning face offs and scoring goals finishing with 5 goals in the game. Also adding to the offense was Nick Simonelli who had 3 goals and 3 assists in the game while Dylan Jenks added 2 goals and 2 assists in the game. Will Johnson (2 goals and 1 assist), Kyle Mulrane (3 goals), and Shawn McManus (1 goal and 2 assists) all finished with 3 points in the game. Southern outshot Rumson 36 to 19 in the game. Southern is now playing in the NJSIAA Group IV state tournament and as the #1 seed the Rams easily defeated Marlboro (the #16 seed) in the first round by the score of 22-4. Dylan Jenks and Chris Smith led the way with 4 goals each in the game while Will Johnson and Dylan Smith each scored 3 goals in the game. Nick Simonelli added a goal and 4 assists in the game as Southern will now move on to play Eastern (8-8 record this season) in the second round.

CARDIAC CATS…JACKSON CAPTURES OCT BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS By Eric Braun
Toms River, NJ- The Ocean County Tournament Champion is once again the Jackson Memorial Jaguars after a thrilling 8-6 victory of Barnegat Bengals at Toms River East High School Thursday night. Memorial winner for the first time since 2012 used three different rallies before ultimately taking the lead for good. Barnegat jumped out to a fast 2-0 in the top of the first inning with hits from Aaron McLaughlin and Nick Fraim before Max Ritner singled in two runs. In the bottom of the inning the Jaguars got on the board after Kyle Johnson single and stole second and scored after a Barnegat fielding error. McLaughlin put Barnegat back up by two runs in the top of the second with an RBI single. In the bottom half of the inning,
Jackson Memorial’s bats showed some life and evened the score at 3-3. Kyle Lona opened the hitting with a double to left field and eventually scored after an infield single by Joe DeMaio. The Jags would get another run after another fielding error and a strike three past ball. All was quiet in the third inning, then the Bengals plated two more runs across the plate in the fourth inning when Collin O’Connor drew a leadoff walk and was followed by Seamus Brazil with a sacrifice bunt that both runners were safe on. The very next pitch, the Bengals chased Jackson’s starting pitcher Ryan Takacs with a two run blast to left field but that would be all the scoring Barnegat would get as Jacskon reliever Matt Castronuova shut down the side.

Toms River North Baseball By Kevin Davis
Following a controversial and premature ouster from the Ocean County Tournament at the beginning of the month, Toms River North (154) should have plenty of motivation when it returns to tournament play on Saturday, May 16.
Toms river north’s Joey rose
The top-seeded team in the OCT, the Mariners were stunned by sixteenth-seeded Southern on May 2, but the outcome of that game was later overturned due to Southern's use of an ineligible pitcher. However, by the time the outcome was changed, tournament play had advanced – Southern itself had been eliminated – and there was no place for North in the bracket. So, in spite of never officially suffering an Ocean County Tournament loss, the Mariners were forced to wait for the Shore Conference Tournament to get another crack at tournament play. The regular season A South champions will get that opportunity on May 16 when the secondseeded Mariners face 15-seed Manasquan.

“The Shore Conference (Tournament) is hard to win,” Toms River North coach Andy Pagano said before his team's first game in the tourney. “There are lots of good teams and lots of good coaches.” Specifically addressing his team's first round opponents, Pagano observed their strong coaching, solid pitching and strong defense would make them a formidable challenge. “We've played (Manasquan) in the past in the regular season,” the Toms River coach said, “and they've always been a good team.”
upon seniors Doug Molnar, Ryan Larsen and Brett Hyers to carry much of the load throughout the year. “For us, it's tough because it's back-and-forth – one game it's Shore Conference, one game it's states,” Pagano said. “A lot of South Jersey, Group 4 schools will only have the state tournament to worry about. But I guess that's what makes it fun.”
TR North was also awarded a 2-seed in the South Jersey, Group 4 sectional bracket. They will host Shawnee on May 18 when that tournament begins. “We don't know a lot about them, but they're usually pretty good,” Pagano said of the first-round opponent. “We expect that they'll be battle-tested – they play in a pretty good conference (the Olympic Conference).” While the Mariners' strong seeding in both tournaments will work to their benefit in terms of hosting games, Pagano noted that playing in two tournaments at once could be particularly hard from a pitching depth standpoint, where the Mariners have relied

STAS LEADS PINELANDS TO OCT CHAMPIONSHIP WITH NO-HITTER By Eric Braun
#2 Pinelands’ Kurstin Bindshedler makes a diving stop against Southern
Toms River, NJ- In 2014 the Pinelands Wildcats captured their first ever Ocean County Tournament with a win over Jackson Memorial with Naomi Stas as a junior getting the win. Fast forward to her senior season the Wildcats ace saved her best performance of the season for the Ocean County Tournament Championship game versus Southern Regional.
#5 Pinelands’ Naomi Stas pitches a no-hitter in OCT Championship game
Stas was focused from the minute the team hit the field against Southern Regional, her warm up tosses on the mark and the ball popping every time it hit the glove of senior catcher Stephanie Healy. The leadership and big game experience from last season had this pitcher primed and ready for the Rams offense. Stas would go on to earn the 10-0 victory behind her no-hitter and an almost perfect game.
With one out in the fifth inning Stas looked to have earned the third out with a fast ball on the outside, but the pitch was called ball four and earned Southern Regional their only base runner of the game. Stas went back to work and shut down the next two batters for the win and the Wildcats celebration began. Afterwards Stas added, “The no-hitter is a great feeling especially in a Championship game, but the perfect game would have been sweeter.” When asked about the lone walk, she added, “a couple of the pitches I thought were strikes, but you have to move on and that’s what I did with the next two batters.” Coach Kevin Lowe when asked about the battle test and determination of Stas had this to say of the senior pitcher, “Naomi was due for a breakout game this season and she delivered both in the arc and at the plate, she is a true competitor and joy to coach.”
the tournament for the first time in school history and to follow it up with another this year is an exciting time for us.” Coach Lowe added this in regards to his 1-2 combination of Stas and Healy, “Coaching is a great experience and to be able to coach the best two players to ever come out of Pinelands is such a rewarding experience for myself and the rest of the coaching staff, they are a two wonderful young ladies who give you everything they have for every game.” Next up for the Wildcats is another run at the Shore Conference Tournament Championships and the NJSIAA South Jersey Group III Championships.
#10 Pinelands’ Jessie Rising laces a shot to right field against Southern
Pinelands got out to a fast start in the first inning when Stas opened the hitting with a double with one out. Shannon Herron drove Stas in for the first run of the game and was followed up by Freshman Jessie Rising two batters later who drove in two more Wildcats to take a 3-0 lead. The Wildcats then went on a hitting spree in the second inning and drove ace Rams pitcher, Jessica Heminhaus from the game. In the inning Rising drove in another run with a double to right field to make it 4-0. Before the Rams could stop the bleeding, Nicole Burke laced a two run single to left to give Pinelands a 10-0 lead. Afterwards Stas added, “This was a total team effort tonight.”
Coach Kevin Lowe gets celebration water poured on him after second straight OCT title.
Freshman Rising had her breakout game driving in three runs for the Wildcats and when asked how she handled the pressure as a freshman in the championship game, she added, “It was an amazing experience to be a part of such a big game as a freshman and to contribute the way I was able too it’s a proud moment.”

With the Championship, the Wildcats are now back-to-back Champions of the Ocean County Tournament and also CoChampions once again with Donovan Catholic in Shore Conference B-South. Stas afterwards said, “It’s has been an amazing ride with these seven seniors, last year we won

HIGH SCORING LEADS RFH TO 4TH STRAIGHT SCT TITLE by Ella Brockway
stopped a shot off of a wide open breakaway from Shore midfielder Talia Binns, and put the ball back in possession of the Bulldogs to prevent what would have been an opening for the Blue Devils going into halftime. Emily Schissler, an Ohio State commit, and Lindsay Corydon, who is committed to play at UC Davis, also contributed to the Bulldog scoring effort.
WEST LONG BRANCH--There were signs from the beginning that this season would be special for the Rumson-Fair Haven girls’ lacrosse team. A mix of talented juniors and seniors, a 2014 Shore Conference title, and eight players already committed to play college lacrosse, stacked the odds in the Bulldogs’ favor. Another Shore Conference title win on May 11 added one more accomplishment to Rumson’s already loaded resume.
All five goals for Shore Regional game fairly early in the first half. Sisters Mary-Kate and Sarah George had one goal each, while Lauren Britton had three in the game. Goalie Sarah Giordano had ten saves in the effort.
The Bulldogs took home their third consecutive and fourth overall SCT title with a 17-5 win over the Blue Devils of Shore Regional at Monmouth University. Midfielders Jillian Swikhart and Brittany Bruno stole the show on the offensive end, with seven and six goals scored respectively. The win produced a dej a vu feeling for head Coach Amy O’Keefe. O’Keefe led the Bulldogs to a 20-4 season in 2014, in which they were crowned A Central division champions, and made it to the North Jersey Group II final. “We knew exactly what we needed to do today, and we knew what to expect,” said
The Blue Devils will take a 16-4 record into a Group I matchup with Haddonfield on May 18.
RFH’s #5 A. FINN O’Keefe. “We expected a physical game, but they ended up doing the same thing as last time, and that’s what we wanted.” Four of Swikhart’s seven goals came in the Bulldog-dominated second half. The Villanova commit’s career-high performance added to her season total of 47 goals and 71 points. Bruno, who is having a stellar sophomore season with 54 goals and 67 points, had four goals in the first half off of assists from Morgan Steinhacker and Maggie Jennings. Jennings and Steinhacker also had big offensive performances in the win. Steinhacker won every draw for the Bulldogs in the second half, leaving Shore with no opportunities to score. Jennings, a junior Villanova commit, had five assists on the day and scored one goal.
“Shore was the only other team with three consecutive Shore Conference titles,” said O’Keefe. “Now that we’re there, too, we want to beat that.” The two teams will meet again for what will surely be a high-energy game on May 23 at Shore Regional.
RFH’s #10 M. STEINHACKER
“Attack is the perfect spot for [Jennings],” said O’Keefe. “We know we can depend on her for anything, and we feel comfortable with her down there.”

The goal from Jennings came at the tail end of the first half, with 25.8 seconds left. A big save from junior Rumson goalie Anna Babiak

ST. JOHN VIANNEY’S VENTURA TOSSES PERFECT GAME IN MONMOUTH COUNTY TOURNAMNT FINAL BY Mike Ready
WALL TOWNSHIP – Senior right-hander Ashley Ventura threw a perfect game and also homered to break a scoreless tie leading off the fourth inning as St. John Vianney got by Matawan 2-0 in the Monmouth County Tournament softball final Saturday at Wall Township High School. Ventura, the 2014 Shore Conference Player of the Year, struck out five in her third perfect game this year to pick up her 22nd win of the season without a loss. Second baseman Erica Krumbine’s diving stop and throw to first off the bat of Jessica Veary in the bottom of the fourth and Shannon Sansone’s line drive right at Krumbine in the sixth were the only Matawan at bats that came close to a hit all game. “I didn’t know I had it (perfect game),” Ventura said. “I don’t think about that when I’m pitching, I just
go batter-by-batter. It’s the greatest feeling in the world, I’m very blessed to have a great team and coaching staff behind me and it was awesome.” “She hits her locations, pitches the pitches I ask her to pitch and she’s only missed her spot once or twice all year,” said Lancer head coach Kim Lombardi. “She has a little virus and was sick before the game but she said ‘I’m pitching, I don’t care if I’m throwing up between every inning.’” Leading off the fourth, the St. Joseph University bound Ventura jumped all over Matawan pitcher Erin Powers first pitch with a drive to deep left field that easily cleared the eight-foot high fence in left for the only run she would need. It was her teamleading ninth home run of the season and 44th RBI – second on the team. “She (Powers) was throwing a lot inside so I was looking,” Ventura said of her home run. “If I saw a first pitch that I liked I was going to take a crack at it.” “Yesterday, she had a memorial for her father who was a fallen police officer when she was four, so I’m sure there was a lot on her mind,” Lombardi added. “But I thought she came out here today and did awesome.”

Physical Therapy may be just as effective as surgery for Lumbar Stenosis By: Jerry Moczerniuk PT, DPT
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis is a relatively common spine condition that occurs in an aging spine. The incidence of Stenosis is between 8 and 11 % in individuals over the age of 50, and increases with age.
The term stenosis is simply defined as narrowing of an opening. With lumbar spinal stenosis, this narrowing typically occurs within, or between adjacent vertebrae (spinal column bones), in the spaces where the nerves run. This structural, degenerative, progressive condition may be caused by degeneration of the discs, ligaments, muscles, but even osteoarthritis or spondylolisthesis of the spine. Progressive spinal stenosis may be very debilitating for some individuals. Typical symptoms may include pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs, pain in the low back, and restricted movement of the spine. The treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis ranges from taking medications (anti-inflammatory, pain meds), to injections, to activity modification and exercise, to physical therapy, and even surgical interventions. The extent, length, and severity of symptoms will
likely dictate the course of treatment recommended. A recent research article in the Annals of Internal Medicine compared Physical Therapy to Surgical intervention in patients suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis. The study consisted of 169 patients, over the age of 50, whose lumbar spinal stenosis was severe enough that surgical decompression was recommended. 87 patients underwent surgery, and 82 patients followed a PT regimen. The researchers followed up with the patients for 2 years after the treatment, primarily focusing on their physical function. There were similar functional improvements at two years in both the PT and surgical decompression group. The authors of the study concluded that “Surgical decompression yielded similar effects to a PT regimen among patients with LSS who were surgical candidates”. Physical Therapy should be considered as a key approach for treatment of individuals with lumbar spinal stenosis. A skilled physical therapist is capable of accurately diagnosing the cause of, and extent of functional disability as a result of spinal stenosis. Physical Therapy treatment will then be initiated to decrease symptoms, facilitate return to normal function, and improve the patient’s quality of life.

For the No.1 seeded Lancers (22-0) it was their sixth-straight Monmouth County Tournament title and ninth MCT championship since 2002. They outscored their four opponents in the tournament 35-0 with three five-inning mercy rule games prior to Saturday’s win. As of Saturday, the Lancers are ranked No.2 in the state and No.1 in the Shore Conference.
hits in seven innings of work, while striking out two without a walk.
Senior centerfielder Jess Carlucci went 2-for-3 with an RBI single in the top of the sixth to give Ventura an insurance run to work with but they allowed Powers to wiggle out of a base loaded no-out jam. Krumbine and Ventura had reached on errors and advanced a base on a pass ball before Carlucci’s hit up the middle drove in Krumbine. Powers then hit Helena Coppola with a pitch to load the bases with no outs, but Powers got Demi Rivera to fly out to center with the runner getting doubled up at home trying to tag and Megan Masi flied out to end the inning. Powers pitched valiantly - if not magnificently - for the No.2 seeded Huskies (17-6) holding the powerful Lancer lineup to only one earned run on five

New Investment Firm for Independent Advisors Launches In Response to Growing Need for Retirement Planning For Public Sector and Not-for-Profit Employees Iselin, NJ, November 11, 2014 – At a time when news reports of underfunded pension plans for teachers and municipal employees have become commonplace and America’s troubled Social Security system offers little comfort for future financial security, David B. Ciotta, formerly Senior Vice President for one of the nation’s largest insurance manufacturers and investment advisory companies, recently announced the launch of ABMM Financial, an investment firm based in Iselin, NJ. One of the primary goals of ABMM Financial is to provide employees of all types of not-for-profit organizations, in particular public schools, with a broader range of retirement savings options, with an emphasis on improving participation. The company is equally committed to providing professional investment advisors with the widest variety of retirement plan platforms and investment management tools available, backed by a much higher level of consumer-facing marketing support than is customary in the industry. In making the announcement, Mr. Ciotta said ABMM Financial is dedicated to making it easier for public sector and notfor-profit employees to set up and access information about retirement planning aided by the use of the most progressive online platforms, social media and other forward-thinking communications technologies. A 16-year veteran of AXA Advisors – and the son of two lifelong educators – Mr. Ciotta, ABMM’s CEO and co-founder, and Michael R. Zarelli, ABMM’s CFO and cofounder, are both keenly aware that only approximately 30 percent of school employees are currently enrolled in schoolsponsored 403(b) plans and that participation in some school districts is as low as
Lacey Softball By: Mike Textor
Lacey softball, the number one seed in South Jersey Group III, is looking to carry the momentum of a big 11-0 first round state playoff win against Camden Tech through the remainder of the tournament and into the upcoming Shore Conference Tournament (SCT). Next, Lacey will face eight seeded Seneca at home on May 20. Coach Tom Faulkner said, “We didn’t know much about Camden Tech, but do not take
18 to 20 percent. This statistic stands in stark contrast to private sector employees’ approximately 71 percent participation rate in 401(k) retirement plans.
According to Mr. Ciotta, most people who work in the public sector don’t have a clear understanding of the retirement challenges they will face.
LACEY’s KaylA Kohout
He said the company also wants to make it easier for independent investment advisors to interact directly with ABMM, and with their clients, by providing them with a golden opportunity to diversify their retirement investment product offerings, while at the same time helping these advisors manage their clients’ retirement savings accounts more efficiently through the use of cutting-edge technology. “ABMM is going to fill the gap,” Ciotta said, “between what the typical insurance company offers its career agents and what the independent advisors would otherwise have to find, develop and pay for themselves.” For more information about ABMM Financial, visit: www.abmmfinancial.com.

any team lightly. We respect our opponents and strive to play hard at all times. They came in as the sixteenth seed and although we took it to them they tried to hang in and battle, but Chelsea Howard was at her best and so was our hitting and defense. We finished with 13 hits and scored 9 runs in an outstanding third inning.” Lacey (17-4 overall, 13-1 division) has clinched the Shore Conference A-South division title. Faulkner was optimistic that his team would be competitive this season after a fine showing in 2014 and only losing three starters. Lacey is a young team with six sophomores, six juniors and no seniors. Of the twelve varsity members, ten players had varsity experience, which has contributed to their success thus far this season. Wins against Southern Regional and Toms River North were confidence builders for Lacey, which they built on during the season. “Two games early in the season seemed to set the tone and confidence level for our team; our fifth game against Southern Regional and also undefeated at the time. It was a very good game, but we prevailed shutting them out 6-0. Southern’s pitcher was very good as well as their defense, but we were much better that night. Four days later we played Toms River North. Another good, close game, but we held on to win 4-3. At that point we began to be noticed and taken seriously. With those wins our confidence level soared,” said Faulkner.
“We founded ABMM Financial to better educate people in the not-for-profit community about investing in their future,” Ciotta said, “and to provide these dedicated, hard-working individuals with a wider range of best-in-class investment product options from which to choose.
“Some employees don’t even think they need the help, so they don’t work with a professional investment advisor they can rely on for advice,” Ciotta said, “and others are uncertain about the true value a professional investment advisor can bring to the table.”

This season, Lacey’s success has been a team effort. They rely on outstanding pitching, strong defense and timely hitting. Up the middle, sophomore Chelsea Howard is on the mound with Emily Dezendorf at catcher and junior Kayla Kohout in centerfield. Howard is 17-4 with 185 strikeouts. She is also a big contributor offensively, batting .328 with 5 homeruns, 21 RBI and 8 doubles.
LACEY’s Elie Wright triples and 5 doubles. Elie Wright is batting .298 with 15 hits and 6 RBI. Junior right fielder Monica Brignola and junior left fielder Sarah Fischer solidify the outfield with Kohout. Kelly Fleck is at shortstop and Kristen Santoro is at second base, with Wright at third and Lindsey Opacity at first base. Junior Marissa Illaria and sophomores Julia Rusak and Brianna Lynch are all valuable contributors that round out Lacey’s roster. Seventh seeded Lacey will begin Shore Conference Tournament play on May 22 against tenth seeded Matawan at home. Heading into the state tournament and the SCT, Faulkner said, “We remain very optimistic on our chances to advance in both tournaments, realizing that the competition will become better and our need to play our A game is paramount.”
In the game against Camden Tech, Howard pitched a shutout through five innings and had 12 strikeouts. “I think it was good for us to get a win under our belt. We want to take it one game at a time and get to the championship,” said Howard. Reflecting on a 3-1 loss to Jackson Liberty in the quarterfinals of the Ocean County Tournament, Howard said, “It benefited us because it showed us we had to work to make it through the state playoffs. Mentally and physically our team has to be strong.”

AFTER LOSS IN MCT FINAL, MATAWAN STAYING FOCUSED ON WHAT LIES AHEAD By Mike Ready
WALL TOWNSHIP – Losing 2-0 to the No.2 ranked team in the state and quite possibly to this year’s New Jersey Player of the Year is nothing to hang your head about if you’re the Matawan Huskie softball team. Although Saint John Vianney’s Ashley Ventura – the 2014 Shore Conference Player of the Year - pitched a perfect game against the Huskies in Saturday’s Monmouth County Tournament final, if you put things into perspective it could’ve been a lot worse. The Lancers won their previous three tournament games by a collective score of 36-0 with all three games shortened by mercy rule endings. The Lancers have only given up six runs all year in 22 games with 17 shutouts. Ventura’s (22-0) earned run average is an astonishing 0.28, but even without a baserunner, no team has come closer to beating the Lancers this year than the Huskies did on Saturday. Top-to-bottom Saint John Vianney has one – if not the best – hitting lineups in the state with eight starters hitting over .400 and as a team they’ve clubbed 35 home runs. Yet, Matawan senior starting pitcher Erin Powers held them to one earned run on five hits without a walk in seven innings of stellar work off the mound.

top of the division with 11-3 records. They have a chance to win the programs first state title since 2005 and are still in the hunt for the school’s first-ever SCT title. So hopefully there’s still a lot of baseball to be played for Matawan.

“I just knew that I had a great defense behind me and all I had to do was let them put it in play and my teammates had my back,” Powers said. “This game tells us that our team has the ability to play with anyone. We played with the No. 2 team in the state; I think we can play with anyone.” “Erin was hitting her spots well today and going inside-andoutside on them,” Matawan head coach Bob Dubina said. “She’s really matured from a year ago and threw the ball really well; this was definitely her best game of the year. If she continues to throw this way, we’ll be a tough out in the Shore Conference Tournament and state tournament.”
Matawan has already won their opening round games in both tournaments, beating No.23 seed St. Rose 6-1 as the No. 10 seed in the Shore Conference Tournament and taking a 3-1 game from No. 9 seed Delran as the No.8 seed in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II Tournament.

We wanted to be competitive and I think we accomplished that. If we continue to play this way we’re going to be okay in the tournaments. We just need to be a little bit more mentally tougher, if we can do that we’ll be a tough out moving forward.”

Shore Conference Tournament Boys Volleyball By Mike Textor
The energized and aggressive CBA boys volleyball team defeated top-seeded Southern Regional in two straight games (25-21, 25-21) Friday night at Georgian Court University to capture the 2015 Shore Conference Tournament (SCT) championship and their first SCT title in school history. In the first game, CBA and Southern Regional exchanged points back and forth. With CBA up 13-10, Southern Regional’s Jake Logue attempted to make a diving save along his bench and was momentarily injured on the play. Logue’s effort seemed to inspire his team and Southern Regional went on a four point run, going up 14-13. CBA would go on a four point run of their own when Southern Regional was up 19-18 to take a 22-19 lead before taking the first game 25-21.
The second game was much like the first. With Southern Regional holding a 6-4 lead, CBA went on a four point run to make it 6-8. CBA wouldn’t look back and held off Southern Regional to win the second game 25-21 and capture the title. For CBA and Southern Regional, the SCT final was the third meeting between them this season. Southern Regional won the two previous matches, 2-0 on April 1 and 2-1 on May 9. To face Southern Regional in the final, CBA had to get past a tough St. John Vianney team, which they did in three games (25-18, 16-25, 25-19). Southern Regional defeated Colts Neck in two games (25-12, 25-16) to reach the final. Going into the final game, CBA Head Coach Monica Slattery wasn’t concerned that her team had just played three games against St. John Vianney in the semi-final. “We won the Livingston tournament a couple of weeks ago and that was an all day thing and at 6:00 p.m. we go into the final round. So, I knew that they were physically fit and they knew exactly what they needed to do. The key to the St. John Vianney game was we have to get the momentum back. In the second game, we were really down. I said you still have to get some momentum, still get that blocking going. So they did,” said Slattery.
last week and a half, there’s been a lot of team chemistry. It’s amazing how almost like a light bulb went off and it started to click, as far as game play and put the ball where they’re not. For a couple of times we had some bad wins and we were making teams look good by hitting at them and hitting into the block. We didn’t do that today.” Southern Regional Head Coach Eric Maxwell said, “We took care of business with Colts Neck and we did what we were supposed to do. Against CBA, they out played us in every part of the game. They wanted it more than we did. They’ve wanted this for a long time. They played very well. That’s what happens when one team wants it more than the other. Their seniors, particularly Nick Osborne, their setter Daniel Dobrowolski and their outside John Arege all played great, they deserved it tonight.”
CBA senior Nick Osborne was a team leader on the court and had 19 kills. Osborne has been part of a program that has experienced an elusive SCT title slip away, until Friday night. “We’ve been trying for this for twelve years. It’s always been against Southern Regional, it’s always been us and Southern in the final and this is the first time we ever beat them. Just bringing this home to CBA and everyone there is going to be a great accomplishment,” said Osborne. Adding to Osborne’s 19 kills, junior John Arege was strong at the net and had 6 kills. “We worked hard all season and it was important for us to come here with a positive mindset. During the games, we brought a lot of energy, which is important to us this season and when we bring that energy we play well,” said Arege. CBA Senior Daniel Dobrowolski had 33 assists and 4 blocks, senior Zachary Kennedy-Dodd also had 4 blocks and sophomore Matt Kelly had 16 digs in the win over Southern Regional.

Going into the games, Slattery said, “We have to go hard, we have to play aggressive. There’s nothing to lose right now. We’re coming in as the underdog. We’re ranked third. We got to go in it and play the second place team and then hopefully play the first place team. This is what we need to do. So, either they’re going to turn it on or they’re not going to turn it on.

MATER DEI CAPTURES FIRST OUTRIGHT DIVISION TITLE SINCE 2002 By Mike Ready MIDDLETOWN – Mater Dei head coach Pat Riddell was worried his team might experience a letdown Thursday after clinching a piece of the Class B Central title in Tuesday’s dramatic 4-3 walk-off win against long-time nemesis St. Rose. Tuesday’s win was only their second against St. Rose in 25 attempts and first since 2010. So when senior right fielder Ryan Fanner’s slicing linedrive single down the first-base line dropped in fair to score pinch runner Mike Dunne from second with the winning run, years of frustration were set free as the team piled on Fanner in a deluge of emotion. Riddell’s fears were all for naught, as his team swiftly put them to rest. They scored five runs in the bottom of the first, three in the second and two in the third en route to a 10-0 five-inning romp of Ranney Thursday at the Rev. Paul T. Gluth Field in Middletown. It’s the Seraphs first outright divisional championship since 2002. “This title is all ours, it’s a great feeling,” Riddell said. “I was worried about a little bit of a letdown today, but they did what they needed to do and they deserve it after the St. Rose game. We put it away early, that’s nice for a change.” Junior starting pitcher Matt Paciulli picked up his fourth win of the season against only one defeat in dominant fashion tossing five innings of shutout ball. Relying on his fast ball with an occasional off-speed curve, he allowed only two hits, walked one and struck out six of the 18 batters he faced. “Matt’s pitched well for us,” Ridell said. “We had No.1 and No.2 pitchers (Joe Ruth and Liam Olausen) go down for the year and Paciolli’s really stepped up – he’s 4-1 for us now.”
big game of the year - it feels great not having to share the title with them. After all the good news about the school staying open, this is just icing on the cake. This isn’t just a team win; it’s a win for the school.” In the Seraphs (14-5, 13-1) five-run first, Fanner got things rolling with a line-drive double over the head of right fielder Max Godek with one out. After Vince Mezzacappa lined out to right for the second out, junior second baseman Cole Hardy lined an RBI double down the right field line scoring Fanner. Junior designated hitter Nick Roditis followed with an RBI double before Nick Massaro grounded an RBI single in the 4-3 hole for a 3-0 lead. Sophomore third baseman Kyle Dowlen then drove in Massaro with a double before senior first baseman Matt Bender walked and an error loaded the bases. Senior left fielder Pat Donohue knocked in Dowlen with a RBI single up the middle for the fifth run of the inning. In the second inning, Mater Dei tacked on another three runs on three Ranney errors, a walk and a sacrifice fly by Dowlen. Senior shortstop Ruben Rodriguez led off the third with a booming double all the way to the fence in left field and was sent home on Mezzacappa’s triple off the wall in the deepest part of the park in right center with two outs. An error on the throw to first by third baseman Prakhar Nair on a Roditis grounder produced the final run of the game.
SUPPORTING YOUR COUNTRY IS STRONG. SERVING YOUR COUNTRY IS ARMY STRONG.
“If we keep playing like we have been, I think we’re going to do great in the tournaments,” Paciulli said. “We’ve been on fire lately and amped up and if continue to play like that we can go far.”
In the top of the fourth, leadoff hitter James Geraghty lined a double into left-centerfield for the Panthers only extra-base hit of the game, but Paciulli left him stranded striking out the next three batters to retire the side. In the top fifth, he had a one- two-three inning with a game-ending exclamationpoint strikeout.
“These guys went through a lot with all that stuff about the school closing,” Riddell said. “It was a big shock; I was worried about how we would come out and play.
