It took penalties for Glassboro boys and Audubon girls and overtime for Souderton girls to capture their school’s first high school state titles over the weekend in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Glassboro won a penalty shootout with New Providence to capture the school’s first Group 1 boys soccer state thanks to a pair of saves by goalkeeper Griffin Rogers, whose disputed handball outside the box in last year’s final led to Glassboro’s defeat in overtime. Freshman goalkeeper Aysia Maldonado came up with a penalty save in Audubon’s shootout to seal her school’s first ever title in the Group 1 girls final.
