Cougars Nail Goal in 2nd OT; Unsettle New Providence, 1-0

Two tough setbacks were followed by another viable foe when the Cranford High School boys soccer team hosted the New Providence Pioneers at Memorial Field in Cranford on September 9. It took nearly a full 100 minutes but senior Manan Shah on an assist from senior back Colin Reilly, struck gold with three minutes remaining in the second overtime to secure a 1-0 victory for the Cougars.
