Goalies Conor Keenan (14) of Seton Hall Prep and Landon Pini (56) of Caldwell were kept busy in Tuesday's big SEC showdown at Tevlin Field where SHP earned a 12-3 victory. Attackman Tyler Juhlin (23) was one of three Pirates who scored three goals, while SHP defensemen including Jonah Choi (33) were busy working against Caldwell including Chiefs such as Jake Gruzas (32) and Matt Costigan (20). One of the contest's stars was SHP midfielder Nolan Sabel (5), seen firing shot on net as he finished with a pair of goals and four assists.
