JSZ hits the road for a busy Tuesday in high school soccer around the Garden State. We’ve got five great matches coming your way, so check back as the highlights are posted throughout the night!

Bergen Catholic 3 Don Bosco Prep 1 | Boys

The Crusaders beat their archrival for the fourth straight time but it didn’t come easy. James Melia connected on a blast from 14-yards out that pierced the upper right corner in the 61st minute and 3:35 later, D’Angelo Tavarez converted a header off a bicycle kick to put the Crusaders in front 2-0. Don Bosco battled back on a goal by Gianni Caterino then nearly had the tying goal with just under three minutes to go. Caterino’s header was stopped by Jack Coleman and kicked in but the official ruled it a possession and waived the goal off. John Semelsberger sealed the win with three seconds left.

Madison 1 Westfield 0 | Boys

The Dodgers are quickly becoming one of the most fascinating teams so far in the 2025 season. After tying state finalist Scotch Plains-Fanwood last week, Madison (2-0-1) took out top-five state ranked Westfield on Tuesday night. Callum Regan was brilliant in net, making 10 saves to earn a clean sheet. Justin Macrina’s first half goal was the difference-maker for the Dodgers in this massive early-season win. Westfield (2-1) will regroup before facing Union on Thursday.

Steinert 5 Hightstown 2 | Boys

Coming off a sectional final appearance and a 16-win season in 2024, Steinert (2-1) picked up its second consecutive victory with a win over previously undefeated Hightstown (3-0). Five different Spartans found the back of the net, while Derek Monahan, Zach Barton, and Sergio Mateus-Gomez each tallied three points. Victor Maldonado scored both goals for the Rams. Steinert will look to keep the momentum going when they face undefeated Princeton Day on Thursday.

Freehold Township (0-2-1) has had a tough start to the new year – they’ll face Southern, Rumson-Fair Haven and Red Bank Catholic all in the next six days.
