Bernards 0(4) Pingry 0(2) Shootout | Boys | Somerset County Tournament Semifinal
You won’t find many other 0-0 games as exciting as this Somerset County semifinal matchup on Wednesday. These teams played in last year’s county final – Pingry defeated Bernards in a 4-1 shootout win. Giancarlo Acosta, the Mountaineers’ keeper, was in net for that game and came into this matchup seeking revenge. Acosta kept the Big Blue out of the score sheet during regulation and OT, and then made two saves on four shots in a shootout to help capture the win. Bernards now advances to play Bridgewater-Raritan in the Somerset County Tournament final on Saturday.
