The Point Boro Boys Soccer Team started strong, and have been able to dominate all season long. The boys soccer team had a 2-0 start to the season, and continued to win 5 more in a row. This had them on a 7 game winning streak. In the second game of the season, they won their first shutout game since 2019 against Brick Township 4-0. After winning their first 7 games in a row, the boys soccer team unfortunately fell to 8-4 after losing 4 of their next 5 games.

They won the game after that against Mater Dei winning 4-0, with Charles Latendorf scoring 2 goals along with Jared Drewes and Shawn Cleveland both scoring a goal each. This resulted in Point Boros’s 2nd shutout of the season. The defense has been the biggest factor of their success this season by not letting up many goals.

They’re one game away from double-digit wins, and have won more games this season than they have over the last 3 years.

It will be a challenging game against Donovan, but the girl’s soccer team has played very well together this year and are ready. If they win the matchup against Donovan, then they move on to play #1 seed Freehold Township. An amazing season leads to a great game in the tournament, and it will be very exciting to see if Point Boro girls soccer can pull it off.
