The Green Knights soccer team is moving on!

On Monday afternoon SJR defeated Newark Academy in round one of the NJSIAA playoffs. The game was drama filled and needed extra time to be decided. 

On a day where the student body was let out of school early to pack the stands at Dinallo Stadium, the home crowd saw the Green Knights battle through a scoreless first and second half. Goalkeeper Jacob Hook kept the Green Knights in the game with multiple big saves in net. Ultimately the game went to overtime, and then a second overtime where SJR finally found the back of the net. On a cross Emanuel Gavela streaked in front and deflected the pass out of the air and into the net for the game winning goal.

#7 SJR now advances to round two of the playoffs where they'll take on Bergen Catholic Thursday afternoon in Oradell.
