The report says the match stayed scoreless for most of the evening at Glen Rock before Demarest found a decisive opening.
The timing was crucial. Glen Rock had held the game level deep into the second half, but Demarest converted their late momentum into a two-goal cushion within five minutes.
Parikos reportedly delivered the decisive individual performance, scoring the opener before assisting Selah for the second goal. His involvement in both strikes gave Demarest the attacking edge in a contest that otherwise remained close for long periods.
That contribution also underlines the value of having a player capable of changing a knockout match in a short spell. Demarest needed one breakthrough; Parikos supplied it, then helped create the finish that secured the tie.
The result would represent a clear tournament upset. Glen Rock entered as the fifth seed, while Demarest were listed as the 12th seed. The report also lists Glen Rock at 12-1-1 and Demarest at 11-3, adding further context to the scale of the result.
Demarest’s next challenge is reportedly a quarter-final against fourth-seeded Ramapo on Saturday. That match will test whether this was a one-night knockout surprise or the start of a deeper tournament run.
