Livingston-New Providence squares off in the Union County Tournament final. Up in Stockholm, Mendham tries to pull the road upset against NJ No. 18 KJS United. Check back as highlights will be posted throughout the night!
Westfield 7 Gov. Livingston-New Providence 3 | Union County Final
Andrew Lisnock had a hat trick as part of a five point night and the Blue Devils scored three goals in the first six minutes of the game to win a third straight Union County championship. Liam Reed had a five point night as well with one goal and four assists. Colin McGeehan and Chris Smok staked the Blue Devils to a quick 2-0 lead before Lisnock delivered a magnificent end to end rush for Westfield’s third goal. Blake Wotanowski was part of the three goal third period. Governor Livingston rallied from 4-1 down to make it 4-3 after two periods thanks to Alec Novotny’s power play goal. The Highlanders have now played in five straight Union County finals and are still seeking their first county championship.

Mendham boys hockey pulled off a huge road upset on Friday with a 4-3 overtime win against NJ’s No. 18 team KJS United. The Minutemen were up 3-1 late in the second, but KJS goals with 1.2 seconds left in the 2nd and midway through the 3rd tied it up and sent it to OT.
In OT, Mendham senior defense Brandon Eigner scored his second goal of the game to give them the win!
