New Brunswick 19 Union 18 | Big Central Conference Tournament Quarterfinal
Kennedi Johnson’s monster day on the ground and a goal-line stand helped usher in the first flag playoff win in Zebras history. Johnson handled 14 carries for 165 yards and a season-high three touchdown runs to pace fifth-seeded New Brunswick (5-2-1) in the win. Union (8-1-1) scored a touchdown with under two minutes to play but the Zebras defense made a stand on the extra point try to seal the win late. Candice Otoo had a pair of touchdown runs in the loss for the Farmers. New Brunswick will advance to the BCC semifinals to play top-seeded Hunterdon Central next week.
