Greater Middlesex Conference tournament. It was a hard fought victory that rested on an incredible performance by star goalie Zack Stahl who
had 12 saves in the game. At the end of the game, South Brunswick was ruthlessly attacking the East Brunswick goal, but Zack Stahl with help from
the Bears defenders was up to the task. East Brunswick scored first when Evan Brandsdorfer took a throw-in from Chris Fawzy and with defenders on his
back, he fired a cross through the box to Ryan Norland who knocked it in. South Brunswick tied it up in the 48th minute with a score by Zenda. Three
minutes later, East Brunswick scored what turned out to be the winning goal on a header by Chris Fawzy off a long throw in by Jeremy Merkel. After starting
the season 3-3-1 and with 10 new varsity players this season, the Bears kept getting stonger as the season went on and capped it off with a magnificent
victory in the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament. Congratulations to all.
East Brunswick finished the season at 16-5-1 for the season.
