St. Benedict’s Prep 3 Delbarton 2 (OT) | Boys | Non-Public “A” North Final
Amadou Hann delivered one of the best goals you’ll ever see at the high school level to power the Gray Bees to a golden goal finish in overtime for their second-straight section title. Playing down a man for nearly 40 minutes, Hann became the hero of the night for top-seeded St. Benedict’s with an iconic 35-yard blast to deliver the win. Nathaniel Addo and Godson Anim scored first half goals before three-seed Delbarton battled back with two goals from Cortland Martin while playing with a man advantage.

Rutgers Prep 3 Princeton Day 0 | Girls | Non-Public “B” South Final
The nation’s No. 1 program continued their amazing season with a remarkable milestone. Rutgers Prep (20–0) battled to a victory over Princeton Day (20–1–1) to earn their sixth consecutive section title. Kyrah Lormil opened the scoring in the 4th minute and later assisted on Brooke Bredeson’s second-half goal. In between those, Alyssa Manasse launched a shot from New York City that was perfectly placed into the top-right corner of the net. The Argonauts now move on to Sunday’s State Final, where they’ll face DePaul. A win would give Rutgers Prep their fourth straight state championship.
