JSZ goes around the Garden State for another busy day in high school soccer. We head to Red Bull Arena for the Hudson County Tournament championship doubleheader, and take a trip down to South Jersey for a major coaching milestone. Check back throughout the night as the highlights roll in!
Bayonne 3 Kearny 1 | Hudson County Tournament Final | Girls
The Bees made Hudson County history in an unforgettable Thursday night at Red Bull Arena. Top-seeded Bayonne (16-3-1) won their first ever Hudson County Tournament championship and ended a 15-year county championship run for Kearny (6-7) in the process. They also became the first Hudson County team to defeat the Cardinals in over 30 years. Kylie Galano scored twice and assisted on another in the historic win.

St. Peter’s Prep 3 Kearny 1 | Hudson County Tournament Final | Boys
A remarkable second-half performance helped the Marauders repeat as Hudson County Tournament champions for the first time in program history. Anthony Bautista scored a pair of goals and Anthony Novello made numerous A+ saves for St. Peter’s Prep (17-2) in the win. Kearny (14-3) got a goal early in the first half and wasn’t able to fight back in when the Marauders caught fire in the 2nd half.
