MOORESTOWN, NJ — The Moorestown High School girls soccer team begins pursuit of the unofficial South Jersey title this week.

Moorestown is the No. 5 seed in the South Jersey Soccer Coaches Association Tournament, and will host No. 12 Williamstown in the first round on Thursday, Oct. 18, 6:30 p.m., according to nj.com.

The winner will play the winner of the game between No. 4 Bishop Eustace and No. 13 Paul VI in the quarterfinals on Oct. 22. The semifinals are set for Oct. 24, and the championship game will take place on Oct. 27. The semifinals and finals will all take place at DeCou Field in Cherry Hill.
