The quarterfinals of the South, Group 2 tournament will be played today as #1 Cinnaminson hosts #9 Oakcrest at 2pm. Here is our Gameday Focus.

When: Friday, November 4 at 2pm

Where: Cinnaminson High School

#1 Pirates 17-2-1

Cinnaminson easily dispatched #16 Lower Cape May in the first round 6-0, the 14th shutout of the season for the Pirates.

The Pirates have now won three straight games, all via shutout and a combined score of 16-0.

Goals in the first round game were scored by Hailey Gutowski (3), Alex Keck, Emma Karch and Meredith Updike.

The goal from Updike, which capped the scoring, was the first of her varsity career.

Cinnaminson will likely be tested more on defense this afternoon compared to the first round match.

In that first round contest, keeper Maddie Ogden did not face a shot from the Tigers.

Oakcrest is the second straight team from the Cape Atlantic-National Division that the Pirates will face in this tournament.

#9 Falcons 10-7

The #9 Oakcrest Falcons took down rival #8 Cedar Creek by a 1-0 score in the first round of the South, Group 2 Tournament on Tuesday.

The Falcons goal came with just two minutes left in the game.

It was the third meeting of the season between the two Cape Atlantic-National Division rivals.

Oakcrest had won the first meeting and lost the second. The two teams had actually played just five days prior to the playoff match.

The Falcons have been shutout four times this season and have recorded six shutouts on defense.

Oakcrest is led by Gabby Johnson, who has 20 goals on the season. Jana White follows with eight.

Catalina Lleras had the game winner against Cedar Creek and keeper Brielle Smith made 11 saves.
