The Marlboro sophomore posted two multi-goal games in an eight-day span, starting with a hat trick in the Mustangs’ 7-0 win over Pinelands that closed out their unbeaten run through Shore Conference Tournament Group G.

Class A Central Player of the Week

Matteo Niglio, Middletown South

Middletown South stared down three major opponents in important games this week and acquitted themselves nicely. Niglio handled all of Middletown South’s scoring during the three-game run, starting with two goals in a 2-1 Eagles win over No. 8 St. John Vianney. The senior followed that performance up by scoring in the 77th minute against No. 3 CBA for a 1-0 Middletown South lead, but the visiting Colts would score twice in the last two minutes to steal the victory.

Class A Central Honorable Mention: Josiah Stepney, Middletown North; Sean Moore, Colts Neck; Kyle Moore, Colts Neck; Robert Keegan, Wall; Dan Altman, Manalapan; Greyson Fitch, Freehold Twp.; Nick Sergio, Colts Neck; Ryan Anderson, Wall; Kevin Anderson, Wall; Christian Laverde, Manalapan; Matt Dayton, St. Rose

Class A South Player of the Week

Tommy Renkin, Toms River East

The Raiders ran their winning streak to eight games last week with convincing wins over Brick in SCT group play and against Toms River South in a interdivisional rivalry match. Renkin was in the middle of everything as Toms River East scored nine goals in the two games. The senior midfielder put up two goals and an assist in the 5-0 win over Brick, then posted a goal and an assist in the 4-1 win over Toms River South.

Class A South Honorable Mention: Jordan Benzon, Central; Rowen Joice, Toms River East; Aiden Corapi, Toms River East; Ilyas Ciltepe, Central; Cristian Caso, Toms River North; Nick Prosperi, Southern; Drew Cardia, Point Boro; Jake Greene, Point Boro; Ricky Pasqualini, Central; Anthony Castellano, Jackson Memorial; Brody Reynolds, Southern

Class B  North Player of the Week

Jadyn DeRosa, Shore

The Blue Devils salvaged a win last week around a pair of losses to Ocean and Red Bank and DeRosa led the way. The senior scored a goal in each half and assisted two more goals in Shore’s 5-3 win over Neptune.

Class B North Honorable Mention: Mason Boles, St. John Vianney; Anthony Marano, St. John Vianney; Connor Shaw, Ocean; Zach Sutton, Ocean; Andreas Barrett, Shore; Pete Geoghan, Raritan; Nico Skeete, Matawan; Julian Lemus, Neptune

Class B Central Player of the Week

Trey Cummings, Red Bank

Red Bank had no shortage of heroes during its best week in at least the last decade: Alex Salvo scored a huge goal in a 3-1 win over Howell and assisted sophomore Brian Garcia’s game-winner at Shore to cap the 3-0 week. Senior Jason Monge assisted three huge goals during the week. Eric Minetti made a critical save in a shutout performance over Shore. The honor, however, goes to Cummings, who scored the first goal at Howell to get the Bucs rolling, then scored twice in a 2-1 Red Bank win that clinched the Class B Central title.

Class B Central Honorable Mention: Alex Salvo, Red Bank; Hermsley Louisius, Asbury Park; Lua Mendonca-Braga, Monmouth; Rob Sherman, Monmouth; Jason Monge, Red Bank; Saeed Torres, Ranney; Andrew Torregrossa, Red Bank Catholic; Justin Vissagio, Keyport; Brayan Rodriguez, Keyport; Brian Garcia, Red Bank; Eric Minetti, Red Bank

Class B South Player of the Week

Cody McLeod, Manchester

Other players in Class B South did more scoring than McLeod did this week, but McLeod’s contributions came in tight games for a Manchester team keen on getting back above .500. The senior scored and assisted a goal in the Hawks’ 2-0 win over Brick, then scored the game-winner early in the second half of a 3-1 win over Monmouth on Friday. McLeod also assisted a goal in Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Bound Brook.

Class B South Honorable Mention: Tanner Grozinski, Lacey; Shane Gambarony, Toms River South; Nick Scisco, Barnegat; Riley Stolte, Barnegat; Anthony Introna, Lacey

Class C South Player of the Week

Dan DeMilio, Pinelands

Pinelands boasts three wins this season but its best result came in a 2-2 draw vs. Point Boro last week, during which DeMilio finished off two goals to rally the Wildcats and send the game into extra time.

Class C South Honorable Mention: Nate Stryker, Brick Memorial

Wild Cards

Kam Brown, Howell

Last week was a nerve-wracking one for Howell, but the Rebels managed to win the Shore Conference Class A North public division title with a 4-2 win over Holmdel and backed into the SCT with Shore’s loss to Red Bank on Friday. Whatever the team results, Brown had a big week, scoring a tying goal in a 3-1 loss to Red Bank and posting two goals in the win over Holmdel.

Phil Bodenski, CBA

Bodenski is back among the nominees after he asserted himself as a leader on the resurgent Colts with another strong week. Bodenski notched a goal and an assist in a rout of Monmouth, assisted both goals in a win over Long Branch that clinched the Class A North title for CBA, and headed in the game-winner in the final minute of a 2-1 win at Middletown South that delivered CBA a first-round bye in the SCT.

Jordan Benzon, Central

Central has bounced back from a loss to Toms River North by winning three straight with an aggregate score of 11-2. Benzon buoyed both wins last week, assisting two goals in a 4-0 win over Brick, then coming up with a goal and an assist to help the Golden Eagles close out first place in SCT Group C with a 3-1 win over Howell.
