NJSIAA Tournament

Sectional Finals

South Jersey Non-Public A

(1) Pingry 2, (2) CBA 0

Sophomore Julian Lopez knocked in a cross in the 31st minute for his fifth goal in the last two games and the Big Blue (18-2) added a second-half goal to seal the win, end the season for the Colts (16-3-4), and advance to the Non-Public A championship game for the second straight year.

The state final will feature a rematch with St. Benedict’s, which beat Delbarton Thursday, 3-2, on a 35-yard shot in overtime similar to the goal that won the Gray Bees the 2024 state championship against Pingry.

 

South Jersey Non-Public B

(1) Ranney 4, (2) Princeton Day 0

Senior Eddie Magherini scored a goal in each half to set the single-season scoring record at Ranney and the Panthers (14-6-1) overwhelmed Princeton Day (9-13) to win their first ever sectional championship.

Ranney jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute, when Magherini cut in front of a defender to settle a pass from fellow senior Jack Fallon, dribbled into the clear and ripped a shot into the net for a 1-0 Panthers lead.

Magherini nearly assisted a second goal when he found wide-open sophomore Braden Morin with a cross, but Morin’s shot slammed off the crossbar. Junior Juan Torres also struck a free kick off the bottom of the crossbar, with the ball landing just outside the goal on the downward bounce.

Ranney had another near goal denied in the first 10 minutes of the second half when Magherini’s follow-up on a shot by Morin was waved off for offsides, but Magherini was not done. In the 51st minute, the senior collected the ball on the left side and took on a Princeton Day defender. He cut back on the defender twice, then ripped a left-footed shot that curled inside the near post for a 2-0 Ranney lead.

Freshman Miles Serrapica piled on with another Ranney goal in the 60th minute when he pounced on a mishandle by Princeton Day goalkeeper J.J. Acevedo. Morin finally broke through after several near-connections when his 25-yard shot cleared Acevedo and slipped under the bar for a 4-0 lead for the host team in the 69th minute.

With his championship brace on Thursday, Magherini moves into the single-season lead with 29 goals scored on the season, eclipsing the record of 27 set by former teammate and 2025 graduate Saeed Torres during the 2024 season.

Magherini and his team will have one more chance to add to their historic season Sunday, when Ranney takes on Montclair Kimberly Academy in the Non-Public B championship game at Franklin High School.
