Cherry Hill East Boys' Soccer Makes Coaches Cup Finals
The Cougars get a second straight PK victory in the tournament.
When it comes time for penalty kicks, Cherry Hill East's Steven Oberlander is starting to get the reputation as a guy teams fear to face.
The Cougars keeper made three critical saves Sunday, just days after making a game-saving PK save against Cherokee, to help beat Washington Township Saturday and clinch his team a spot in the Coaches Cup finals next weekend.
No. 14-seeded East got a goal from Jake Faford in the second half, which was matched almost immediately by Township's Joe Casaletto's strike. The Cougars then fought through overtime scoreless, as Oberlander made 8 saves, to set up another PK ending.
