• Addison Delia leads Ocean over Manalapan (thelinknews.net) — Manalapan High School's field hockey team fell 3-0 on the road to Ocean Township, which dominated possession and held the Braves without a shot on goal. The game doubled as Ocean's senior recognition night, but it was two Spartan sophomores who scored all three goals, including a pair from standout Addison Delia.
