Boys Soccer Starts Season On Right Foot

The epic run to the NJSIAA Group III semifinal round from the 16 seed was no fluke in 2012.

That’s what the Mendham boys soccer team wants to prove in 2013, and it’s off to a great start.

The team kicked off the season with a 4-1 win over Cranford earlier this week, and lost a heartbreaker to Delbarton, 1-0 Thursday, according to nj.com.

That victory over Cranford matches Mendham’s regular season total from all of 2012, according to dailyrecord.com.

But that didn’t stop the team from stringing together a handful of wins out of the bottom seed of its bracket last fall; an achievement it hopes to surpass this season.

The Minutemen host Parsippany Hills at 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16 for its first home game of the season.
