The Green Wave Varsity Soccer team dropped a heartbreaking 1-0 semifinal to Chatham, ending Delbarton's three-year reign as county tournament champions.

Delbarton and Chatham played a very close first half, at Mount Olive, with both teams producing a number of quality scoring chances.  However, it would be Ryan Hoffelder from Chatham who would strike first, as he broke passed the Delbarton defense off a goal kick and took advantage, putting a shot past keeper Vayun Swamy for the 1-0 lead.

That lead would stay throughout the game, despite a number of quality chances for the Green Wave.  With 27:37 remaining, Delbarton had a quality scoring chance as Peter Wynne raced down the left side but could not produce a quality shot.  Delbarton would continue to push the tempo and try to produce quality chances but keeper Jack Paone was solid in goal, making 7 saves in the shutout victory.  

Delbarton finishes off the regular season against Sparta on Wednesday, then two home matches against Roxbury and Mount Olive before turning its attention to the NJSIAA Non Public tournament.
