The report says Saddle River Day raced into a 3-0 lead before Tenafly responded with four first-half goals. Saddle River Day then levelled before the interval, leaving the teams tied 4-4 after a frantic opening period.
The second half brought no sustained control. Saddle River Day moved ahead 5-4, Tenafly equalised again, and the decisive goal arrived late, with about eight minutes remaining. In a knockout match, that sequence underlined the fine margins: early dominance offered no protection, while every attack remained dangerous until the final whistle.
The report says Saddle River Day’s goals were spread across the team, with Brinley Samples scoring twice. Gabriela Stewart, Sloane Casey and Ava Stabile reportedly added a goal and an assist each, while Grace Darling, Ella Ramasamy and Emma Lopez also contributed assists.
Tenafly had a clear individual threat. Hayden Hawkins is reported to have scored a hat-trick, with Amelie Simeon adding two goals. Their combined output kept Tenafly in contention after the early deficit and turned the tie into a genuine quarter-final opportunity until the late setback.
The report credits Saddle River Day goalkeeper Alice Tishco with nine saves, while Tenafly goalkeeper Madelyn Juhng reportedly made 14 despite conceding six times. Those figures capture the volume of chances at both ends and the pressure created by two aggressive attacks.
The report puts Saddle River Day’s record at 11-1, while Tenafly’s tournament run ends after a campaign listed as nine wins, four defeats and one draw.
The next test is Ramsey, with the quarter-final reportedly scheduled for Saturday at Indian Hills. Saddle River Day’s ability to turn a chaotic attacking game into a controlled knockout performance will be the key storyline.
