Boy’s soccer hosts Liberty rival Northern Burlington this afternoon for a division match. Here is an in-depth look with our Gameday Focus.

When: Tuesday, October 25 at 3:45pm

Where: Cinnaminson High School

Pirates 6-8-1, 5-6 Liberty

The cutoff date for the playoffs came and went on Saturday and the Pirates are sitting at 13th in South, Group 2 with 178 power points. Final seeding will be announced next week.

Cinnaminson has had an up and down season, but has played better of late despite a 1-1 record.

The Pirates defeated Burlington Township 2-1 on October 18 and dropped a 1-0 decision to rival Delran on October 20.

The loss to Delran was a well played match for the Pirates, who lost the first meeting with the Bears 3-0.

Cinnaminson has a chance at evening their division record in their final Liberty match of the season today against Northern Burlington.

They then have two regular season games left against Bordentown and Palmyra.

A win today over Northern Burlington would put the Pirates in third place in the division to finish play.

Greyhounds 8-8-1, 5-5-1 Liberty

This game is also the final one of the season for the Greyhounds against a division opponent.

Northern Burlington comes in having won two in a row, both against Liberty opponent Pennsauken by a combined score of 6-1.

The Greyhounds, as expected, have been up and down in the Liberty this year.

It is a division where the teams just beat up on each other from three through seven.

The Greyhounds currently sit in third place in the Liberty, which has already been won by the Delran Bears.

Head to Head

Northern Burlington won the first meeting with Cinnaminson this season 3-2.

Mike Lutz and Ryan Mahaffy tallied goals for the Pirates and Mike Deal made eight saves.

Christian Herdt scored twice for the Greyhounds as Ethan Shaw added the third goal.

Connor Hogan made five saves in net.
