Pingry 2 Hunterdon Central 1 (OT) | Boys
No. 3 Pingry boys soccer’s undefeated season (16-0) rolls on as the Big Blue defeated Skyland foes Hunterdon Central (12-3) 2-1 in overtime on Wednesday.
The Red Devils got on the board in the 12th minute with a Colby Townsend penalty kick. Pingry then answered back in the 23rd as Arjun Hoshing found the net for the 25th time this season. The game would go into overtime where Andrew Marturano scored just his third goal of his career off a Hoshing assist to survive the upset bid. Pingry goalie Ryan Miller had three saves on the day while HC’s Evan Schafranek had seven.
