Delbarton 10 Seton Hall Prep 9 (3 OT) | Boys | Non-Public A Final
Nick Faccone said he couldn’t sleep Friday night because he kept thinking about what would happen if the state final came down to him. Well, that’s exactly what happened – and the result was better than he ever could have dreamed. Faccone won the opening face-off in triple overtime, raced down the field and scored the game-winning goal to power Delbarton (20-5) to the program’s 18th state championship before a capacity crowd of over 2,000 fans. The game was tied at four at halftime, but Seton Hall Prep (19-2) came out at a frenetic pace and led 8-4 at the end of the third quarter. Delbarton scored five of the next six goals, highlighted by Asher Testa’s game-tying goal with 2.3 seconds left to force overtime.
