IN SHORT
The Wolfpack offense struggled to solve Madison goalie Brett Anton on Tuesday, finding the net just five times and making an early exit in the Morris County Tournament. West Morris made a push to open the second half, though, as they outscored Madison 2-0 in the third quarter to get within one goal of the lead, but were unable to capitalize.

WOLFPACK OF THE GAME

Shawn Barnes- Barnes netted a team-high two goals in the loss.

OTHER KEY PERFORMANCES
Kevin Reidinger (West Morris), one goal and one assist in the loss, Colin McLinden (Madison), the senior found the net one time on Tuesday and recorded a team high nine groundballs; Brett Anton (Madison), stopped 21 of West Morris’ 25 shots.

THEY SAID IT
“I think if we could have shot a little better, possessed the ball a little better and not turned the ball over as much, we could have had more offensive possessions and could have won this game. We had a couple of mental letdowns defensively and even offensively with some of the possessions. We had a lot of opportunities, a lot of mistakes, whether it be bad shooting right into the goalies stick or a couple of passes that got away from us."–Head Coach Rob Goodwin

Up Next—Caldwell on Friday at 7 p.m. at West Morris Central.
