JSZ hits the pitch for another great day of action in high school soccer! St. Augustine and St. Joe’s Metuchen try to stay unbeaten on the boys side. In girls soccer, Wall looks to get back on track in a Shore Conference battle against St. John Vianney, plus Point Pleasant Boro and Notre Dame tangle in a great non-conference matchup. Check back as the highlights are posted throughout the night!
St. Joe’s (Met.) 1 Plainfield 0 | Boys
Carter Stetz’s impressive goal in the second half was the difference in a tightly-contested non-conference game Tuesday in Middlesex County. Stetz broke a nil-nil tie in the 60th minute with a sweet goal to help St. Joseph Met. (7-0) keep their perfect record intact. Plainfield (4-2) played tough defensively for 80 minutes and will be a team to watch in the upcoming Union County Tournament.

Point Pleasant Boro 2 Notre Dame 1| Girls
The Panthers are on one of the most impressive runs in New Jersey soccer. With this win, reigning Group 2 State Champions Point Pleasant Boro (6-0) have now won 13 consecutive games dating back to last season. Fittingly, the first victory in that streak came against the same team they just defeated for No. 13 — Notre Dame (5-3). Montclair commit Elise Viggiano scored the go-ahead goal in the second half, marking her team-leading ninth goal of the season.
