GUNNERS CROWNED NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!
NJSA 04 Gunners (NJ) was the first to be crowned tonight as the New Jersey boys clashed with their Southern California counterparts, Arsenal FC. A possession battle endured throughout the match as neither side appeared breakable. As time neared expiration, a Mael Corboz direct kick in the 70th was the difference maker as Corboz struck a perfect strike to beat the keeper to the near post. It’s been 20 years (1988 Union Lancers - Under-19 Boys, New Jersey) since a New Jersey boys team has won a national championship.

NJSA 04 Girls
11/1 - State Cup: POWER in Semis, BLAST & RUSH in quarters
The NJSA 04 Girls Program has really made some noise this year. The NJSA 04 POWER, NJSA 04 BLAST and NJSA 04 RUSH all advanced to the quarterfinals with the Power making it all the way to the semifinal game for the second straight year. The Power lost 2-1 earlier today to a very disciplined Old Bridge team despite dominating most of the game and hitting the post with 4 minutes left! All three NJSA 04 teams had hoped for better fortune and to advance a little bit further but it wasn't to be. It was still a great run and all three lost to excellent teams. WELL DONE GIRLS!!!
