The report says J.P. Stevens settled the contest before half-time. Inderveer Singh opened the scoring after a pass from Talha Syed, who reportedly played a direct role in two of the team’s three goals.
Arnesh Banerjee then doubled the advantage before the interval, with Collin Casey providing the assist. That two-goal cushion gave J.P. Stevens room to manage the second half without needing to chase the game.
Atharva Nimbhorkar reportedly completed the scoring after another Syed assist. The result marked a productive attacking display from a side that entered the tournament as the No. 8 seed.
The report credits J.P. Stevens with a clear edge in attacking output:
That 12-4 shot margin reflects more than clinical finishing. J.P. Stevens also limited Sayreville’s opportunities, protecting its lead while maintaining enough threat to add a third goal after the break.
The win reportedly takes J.P. Stevens to 14 victories and two defeats for the season. Sayreville, listed as the No. 9 seed, is said to finish its tournament run after recording five wins, seven losses and two draws.
St. Thomas Aquinas represents a significant step up in the bracket. As the tournament’s top seed, it will test whether J.P. Stevens can reproduce the early intensity and defensive control displayed against Sayreville.
The quarterfinal on Thursday will be the next storyline to watch. J.P. Stevens has earned its opportunity, but another clean sheet and a similarly sharp start may be required to extend the run into the semifinals.
