With six straight wins, the Bulldogs are surging at the perfect moment for the Shore Conference Tournament. Rumson-Fair Haven dominated Wall, Bridgewater-Raritan, and Moorestown, powering their way to a flawless 3-0 week.
Senior Luke Lydon is firmly in contention for the Shore Sports Insider Player of the Year with 75 points (37 G, 38 A). Senior Joseph Whitehouse has also been exceptional with 55 points (34 G, 21 A).
The Bulldogs earned the number two seed in the Shore Conference Tournament due to a one-goal loss to CBA in the regular season. If they can run the table, there is a very strong chance they will have a chance to avenge that defeat and prove that their healthier, final form is the best in the Shore Conference.
