Hopewell Valley 1 Burlington Township 0 – Central Group 3 Semifinals
Tuesday’s matchup in the Central Group 3 Semifinals between Burlington Township and Hopewell Valley was an 80 minute defensive battle. Despite coming off an upset win against No. 1 ranked Allentown in the previous round, Hopewell Valley was able to limit the Falcons thanks to a 10 save effort by sophomore Braylee Walters. Late in the first Emily Cooke scored the only goal of the game for the fifth seeded Bulldogs to send them to the sectional final where they will face second seed Brick Township on 11/9. JSZ’s Nery Rodriguez has the call:
