Stockton jumped out to the early lead when John Maxted (Middletown/Middletown North) tapped in a crossing pass from Christian Bik (Vineland/St. Augustine Prep) for the 1-0 lead. Just over five minutes later, Ervin Gjeli (Hasbrouck Heights/Hasbrouck Hts.) scored from just about the same spot as Maxted in front for a two-goal margin.
 
Michael Echeverria (Linden/St. Joseph's) sent a pass from outside the box, when Gjeli potted his team-leading third goal of the season. With 19 seconds left in the half, Drew Ruble (Medford/Shawnee) curled in a right footed shot to the lower left corner to give Stockton a commanding 3-0 advantage going into the half.
 
In the 70th minute, Andrew Griggs (Galloway/Absegami) finished the scoring, when he was sent in on the goalkeeper one-on-one. Justin Ruiz (Wayne/Wayne Hills) gave Griggs the chance and his first goal of the season hit the lower right corner for the 4-0 margin. Both squads substituted freely after the score and the game ended with Stockton capturing the 4-0 shutout victory.
