Manalapan - 10/22/12 - SCT Round 3

Great win today in PK's.  Only a true TEAM could win without their two leading scorers playing and then lose their third leading scorer in the 2nd half of today's game!  Best wishes to all the injured.   That is 8 straight overtime wins with 4 of them going to PK's.  Boro is also unbeaten in it's last 11 overtime matches dating back to 2009.

Cobb opens the door for Colonials

After two even opportunities of penalty kicks on Monday, Freehold’s senior keeper Sara Cobb lunged to her right and punched Manalapan’s third attempt away opening the door to victory in a Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinal.
Delaney Boyer and Cori Ahde responded with successive match-clinching conversions as the top-seeded Colonials (15-0) were able to outlast the No. 8 Braves (9-5-3) with a 4-2 edge in penalty kicks after the two teams played a scoreless match. Freehold will play fifth-seeded Red Bank Catholic in a semifinal.
Freehold’s Lindsay Cerio and Ashley Latona converted penalty kicks, as did Manalapan’s Jessica Donnelly and Erin O’Grady before Cobb’s stop, and a shot that missed high over the crossbar. Then Boyer and Ahde finished the job.
Cobb was pivotal in the first half, when she knocked away a pair of breakaway shots to preserve the scoreless tie. She finished with four saves in the game. Manalapan’s junior keeper Brianne Nealon stopped all 10 shots she faced.
