Girls Soccer: Central Jersey, Group 4 preview

By Jeremy Schneider | NJ Advance Media For NJ.com on November 02, 2014 11:48 p.m.

SEEDS
1-Hunterdon Central, 2-South Brunswick, 3-Freehold Township, 4-Freehold Borough, 5-Brick Memorial, 6-Hillsborough, 7-West Windsor-Plainsboro North, 8-Sayreville, 9-Jackson Memorial, 10-East Brunswick, 11-Howell, 12-Old Bridge, 13-North Brunswick, 14-Manalapan, 15-Monroe, 16-West Windsor-Plainsboro South

THE FAVORITEThere's no questioning Hunterdon Central's status as the favorite in this section. In fact, the Red Devils are one of the big favorites in Group 4 overall. The West Jersey power boasts a potent offense led by Allison DeLuca and Christine Tack. Bristol Pizzuto, meanwhile, is one of the best keepers in the state. The team is well coached, and is a legitimate threat to win the Group 4 championship.
CONTENDERS
Hillsborough is one of the biggest surprises of the girls soccer season, battling through the Skyland Conference and into The NJ.com Top 20 with victories over Old Bridge, Watchung Hills and a pair of triumphs over Pingry. South Brunswick looked like it could be the class of the Greater Middlesex Conference before falling to an experienced East Brunswick side in the county semifinals — once again proving that you can never sleep on East Brunswick. Freehold Township and Freehold Borough both had their share of impressive wins in the Shore Conference this year as well.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Hunterdon Central had a fantastic season last year, but it would have been even better if forward Allison DeLuca hadn't torn her ACL before the start of the state tournament. But DeLuca has recovered very well and is healthy for this year's playoffs. The reigning Star-Ledger West Jersey Player of the Year has 10 goals and eight assists this season. Sydney Rosa is a veteran striker for East Brunswick and has a penchant for scoring big goals in big games. Arielle Curtis has been the star of Hillsborough's breakout season, racking up 10 goals and 10 assists so far.
Others to watch: Julianna Franco, South Brunswick; Nicole Whitley, Freehold Township; Ashley Latona, Freehold Borough; Madison Farley, Brick Memorial; Kimberly Stratton, Sayreville

SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT

SEMIFINAL ROUND

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 29

Summerfield School, Neptune

3-Wall (14-3) vs. 2-Freehold Boro (14-2-2), 5

Players to watch: Wall: Nora Burdge (Jr. M/D 6 goals, 7 assists); Katie Hyde (Jr. M/F 4 goals, 3 assists); Amy Paternoster (Fr. F 8 goals, 4 assists); Jessica Maywalt (Jr. D 3 goals, 5 assists); Heather Arbachesky (Sr. F 5 goals, 1 assist); Abigayle Musto (Sr. M 4 goals, 4 assists); Natalie Sprengel (So. M 4 goals, 5 assists); Alex Panasuk (So. GK 9 shutouts 0.88 GPG). Freehold Boro: SarahGrace Johnson (Sr. F 4 goals); Kaleigh Rudic (So.

GK 10 shutouts, 0.77 GPG).

Have we met: Not this season, but, up until this year, Wall and Freehold Boro were heated rivals who squared off a minimum of twice a year in B North, including three encounters a year ago, all won by Boro. In fact, the Colonials have won the last five meetings and advanced on penalty kicks at Wall’s expense in the 2011 NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 4 semifinals. Wall last tasted victory over Freehold Boro on Sept. 19, 2011 with a 1-0 decision.

What to watch for: These are two proud defenses that don’t take kindly to intruders. However, each must brace for the numbers each that will be cautiously pushed in their direction. Sixteen different players have contributed either a goal or an assist for Wall while 15 have gotten involved in either finishing or setting up a strike for the Colonials. Positional lables should by no means paint a picture of limited maneuvering from either team.

Jessica Maywalt of Wall and Lindsay Cerio of Freehold Boro are lynchpins in their respective defensive thirds yet both pose threats from distance, particularly on restarts. Cerio is second to midfielder Ashley Latona in goals for the Colonials while Maywalt’s five assists speak to her facilitating for Wall.

Up front, Wall offers a blend of youth and experience in senior Heather Arbachesky, a poised veteran, and freshman Amy Paternoster, a polished newcomer with a team-best eight goals and member in the U.S. national pool. The Crimson Knights support the duo with an active midfield featuring junior Nora Burdge, who works both ends of the field and tops the side with seven assists, sophomore Natalie Sprengel, a dangerous presence along the width, junior Katie Hyde and senior Abigayle Musto.

Senior SarahGrace Johnson can be physical en route to goal up top for Freehold Boro, balanced by her finesse framing the net while Latona, Kaleigh Rudic and Megan Hurler embody the work rate of the Colonials’ midfield. Where the Boro is dangerous is how easily defenders like junior Emma Smith incorporate themselves into the offense once control in the final third is attained without compromising their responsiblities at the other end.

Both sides have quality keepers. Wall’s Alex Panasuk and Freehold Boro’s Jordan Cerio are well schooled in the art of net coverage and are invaluable in the tight organization of their back lines.
