Caldwell coach Nick Esposito had to like most of what he saw from his Chiefs as they moved past Voorhees, 8-6, in Thursday's South, Group 1 state tournament first round game at Bonnel Field in West Caldwell, including strong showings from defenseman Ryan Healey (16), midfielder Logan Mooney (33), defenseman Teagan McOmish (5) in front of goalie Jacob Natt (11) while youngsters such as middie Sean Galper (2) also did their thing in solid win. (Photos by Jeff Stiefbold-www.jstiefbold.smugmug.com) (continued from page 1) “Teagan McOmish, who is a good athlete headed to Rowan to play football, also impressed on ‘D’ and our defensive midfield, with players like sophomore Ethan Bello, who has toughness and grit - really stepped up.” Caldwell plays in a rigorous Waterman Division with solid teams including West Morris, Ramapo, Sparta and Morris Knolls, and there is also the SEC where Seton Hall Prep, Glen Ridge and Montclair are strong opposition. “Our players have continued to work hard and have overcome some tough, 1-goal losses to keep after it every day,” continued Esposito. “We’re playing with house money right now and we’re hoping to extend the season for our 10 seniors as we travel to face a young and talented Haddonfield team.” NOTES- In addition to sophomores Weintraub, Bello and Grosso, among the other youngsters playing well for Caldwell was freshman midfielder Sean Galper…former Caldwell star football and lacrosse player Harry Boland has helped lead Tampa to the NCAA Division II national championship…Along with Gruzas (Stevens) and Healey (Adelphi) among the other Caldwell seniors headed to play lacrosse at the next level is attackman Riley Daniolowicz (34 goals, 17 assists this season)…Grosso was 7 of 17 in face-offs vs. Voorhees’ senior Max Smith, but won a couple of important ones which helped lead to goals.

Coach Nick Perkalis' Voorhees Vikings were once again a handful for Caldwell after also being edged by Chiefs in last year's state tournament. In Thursday's 8-6 Chiefs victory in West Caldwell the home team rode its stingy defense anchored by goalie Jacob Natt (11), while close defenseman including Ryan Healey (16) did their best to contain the talented Vikings midfielder Josh Hufford, seen winding up to fire one of his patented shots on goal.
