Fernandez scored three SCT goals and was responsible for all of Ocean’s scoring in the last two rounds of the tournament.

Brayden Perry, CBA
No CBA player scored more than one goal during the Colts run to a fourth straight championship game appearance. Perry’s goal, however, stood out in that it was the latest goal CBA scored and it broke a scoreless deadlock during a quarterfinal showdown vs. Holmdel. Perry scored in the 73rd minute to give CBA the 1-0 win.
Aidan Donnelly, Southern
Following its elimination from the Shore Conference Tournament, Southern got back on track with wins over Wall and Manasquan, with Donnelly leading the goal-scoring charge. The senior scored five of the seven Southern goals in the two games – two in a 3-0 win over Wall and a hat trick in a 4-3 win over Manasquan.
