Harrison 2 Kearny 0 | Boys | Hudson County Tournament Final
Harrison boys soccer are Hudson County Tournament champions for the first time since 2013. The Blue Tide (14-1-1) defeated arch-rivals Kearny (11-4-1) 2-0 on Tuesday night in front of a packed crowd at SI Stadium. Musa Bah got Harrison on the board in the 19th minute with a beautiful left-footed goal from long range. Jhowy Picon added the game-clinching goal in the 50th minute.

Bayonne 2 Hoboken 0 | Girls | Hudson County Tournament Final
Bayonne girls soccer (12-3) won their second Hudson County Tournament title in three years as the Bees defeated Hoboken (10-4) 2-0 in Tuesday’s final, avenging their loss to the Red Wings at SI Stadium last year. Bayonne’s Jenna Gaetani got the scoring started in the 26th minute, and after testing Hoboken goalie Jenna Snider all 2nd half, Mikenna Raftery pushed in the second goal in the final minutes.
The Bees defense also came up huge as goalie Kali Dux-O’Sullivan only faced four shots on net.

Trinity Hall 0 Central Regional 0 (Trinity Wins 4-3 in PK’s) | Girls | Shore Conference Tournament Semifinal
After 100 minutes, this battle was still a scoreless affair, so the second spot in the Shore Conference Tournament Final would be decided in penalty kicks. After allowing three goals to start, Trinity Hall goalkeeper O’Neal Hile stopped three consecutive shots to help send the Monarchs to back-to-back SCT championship games. Fourth-seeded Trinity Hall (13-3-1) defeated ninth-seeded Central Regional (14-3-1) and will face tenth-seeded Toms River South in the title match on Saturday.
