Westfield battled rival Scotch Plains-Fanwood to 100 scoreless minutes on Saturday
Westfield defeated Scotch Plains-Fanwood on penalties in the North 2, Group 4 final on Saturday, Nov. 4.And when he did finally enter four long minutes later, he was prepared for the moment.
The penalty sequence — after the two teams played to a scoreless draw for the second time this season — wasn’t always smooth sailing for Westfield. Scotch Plains-Fanwood led 1-0 after the first round after Luca Passucci tucked his shot inside the left post and Zach Preucil was stonewalled by Scotch Plains goalkeeper Jeffrey Dietrich.
“You just try to make the goal seem as small as possible for them,” Gunzberg said. “They missed two shots. If you make it as small as possible, they’ll try to make it fit perfectly and they’ll end up missing.” “I don’t want to put anything on them, but they were hoping for that moment,” Shaw said. “We just couldn’t find that final moment. I thought Ben had it in the first half and could be that one goal that would draw them out. Even late in the game, the buzzer went off. We had some other opportunities off crosses and services. We always knew this game was going to came down to it based on how they played against Ridge and Hunterdon Central.
Westfield won the toss for penalties and elected to go second, according to Shaw, to have a chance to recover from a bad first round if the opportunity presented itself. And it did.
