Roxbury holds off Mendham in a Thriller
When we were taking a look at this week’s schedule, there was a matchup at the top of the list and it was Roxbury against Mendham. Two teams contending at the top as Roxbury is presently in the Top 10 and Mendham was hovering in Power Ranking contention.

The last was a coin flip staying tight throughout with Roxbury coming out victorious.
Players were making play-after-play and was easily the matchup to watch and man it did not disappoint. It was a great measuring stick to see how even these two squads are.
Demarest Dominates Tenafly
In another top tier matchup, we have Demarest who is presently in the Top 10 Power Rankings and Tenafly who recently just fell out of the rankings. Demarest came out with their pedal on the gas and never took it off as they cruised to a 2-0 victory. Olivia Cammalleri Olivia Cammalleri S Demarest | 2022 State NJ was clicking on all cylinders making passes look effortless and spreading the ball around to keep Tenafly completely off-balance.
Anna Taufield tried her best defensively to keep Tenafly in it with 22 digs but it was not enough.
