Pro Shottas “A” prevailed 2-1 in a hard-fought encounter with Notre Dame while Empire staved off the challenge of the Academy “B” team to win 3-2.
Pinelands, BSA, Pro Shottas “A” and Kick Start “A” also won their quarterfinals in the Under-13 age groups while Pro Shottas, Gall Hill, BSA?and Mavericks advanced to the semis in the Under-15 age category.
