Field hockey: Forecasting the HWS seeds

The fourth annual Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex tournament gets under way on Saturday with two pigtail round games.

Here's this year's complete schedule:

Pigtails on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the higher seeds, with the winners advancing to the eight pre-quarterfinal round contests on Saturday, Oct. 6 at the higher seeds.   The quarterfinals are slated for Saturday, Oct. 13 at the higher seeds with the semifinals to be played on Saturday, Oct. 20.

The championship game will be held on Saturday, Oct. 27 at a neutral site.

But first thing's first, the teams must be paired and seeded, which takes place midweek.

Seeds are determined by a coach's vote -- the Hunterdon-Warren coaches determined their bracket and vice versa for Sussex. Now, I truly believe a majority of coaches vote their conscience. That being said, I also believe they vote with their team's interest in mind -- of course they do -- but I also feel there is a lot blind voting in that some coaches just aren't that familiar with teams in their area.

Do we change the process? If so, how? Good questions to be certain. I don't believe we should leave it in the hands of athletic directors, most of whom have not seen a lot of field hockey and a few who really have no working knowledge of the sport.

Here's my two cents -- probably about the right price -- if I was doing the voting. And I'm not campaigning too either. I will predict this to be the most wide open tournament yet and plenty of higher seeds will fall in the early rounds.

Based on my votes, Lenape Valley would host North Hunterdon in an 8-9 matchup, while No. 10 North Warren would travel to No. 7 Sparta for Saturday's pigtail round.

Here are the other matchups (A-Sussex, B-H/W):

Top bracket

8B-Belvidere at 1A-High Point
5A-Vernon at 4B-Phillipsburg
6B-South Hunterdon at 3A-Newton
Sparta-North Warren winner at 2B-Hunterdon Central

Bottom bracket

Lenape Valley-North Hunterdon winner at 1B-Warren Hills
5B-Hackettstown at 4A-Pope John
6A-Kittatinny at 3B-Voorhees
7B-Delaware Valley at 2A-Wallkill Valley

Here are my seeds with records and info:


Hunterdon-Warren


1. Warren Hills (6-1) -- Streaks are two-time champions and the reigning winner after a 3-1 win over High Point in last year's final. The clear-cut No. 1 with wins over Voorhees and Phillipsburg this season.
2. Hunterdon Central (4-3) -- Tough call here between 2 and 3, but I feel the Red Devils have played a tougher schedule thus far with games against Bridgewater (4-0 loss) and fellow Delaware Division unbeaten Pingry (3-2 loss). Coach Jenn Sponzo's team also faces Phillipsburg and Warren Hills in the coming weeks.
3. Voorhees (3-1-1) -- The Vikings, who won their first HWS title in 2010, recently took a 3-1 loss to Warren Hills and owns a win over P'burg. One question, though, why don't they play in-county rival Hunterdon Central?
4. Phillipsburg (4-3) -- With losses to Warren Hills and Voorhees, the Stateliners belong no higher. Coach Jen Paulus' team is looking for that signature win this season and this tournament could provide an opportunity to do so.
5. Hackettstown (4-2) -- Tigers are on the upswing this season and recently knocked off defending NJAC Freedom Division champion Wallkill Valley -- 1-0 on Friday. Tough to vote on a team that hasn't played anyone outside of North Warren -- a fellow NJAC member -- in its own county or in Hunterdon.
6. South Hunterdon (5-1) -- Eagles are another tough team to figure since they have only played Belvidere -- a 1-0 win on Sept. 13. The Skyland Valley Division is certainly not as tough as the two upper divisions, though South is much improved and gave a good account against High Point last year.
7. Delaware Valley (3-3) -- Terriers have lost to Warren Hills and Voorhees, and had a game with P'burg wiped out by Tuesday's rain. Narrow 1-0 wins over Somerville and North Hunterdon are why they aren't higher, though I believe Del Val can play with some higher seeds.
8. Belvidere (3-3-1) -- County Seaters just played to a 3-3 tie with North Hunterdon on Saturday and have won two of three since dropping three in a row, including losses to P'burg and South Hunterdon.
9. North Hunterdon (0-5-1) -- Lions are having a rough start but three goals -- their first three of the season -- against Belvidere could be the start of a more positive swing. In three losses, North held its opponents to one goal.
10. North Warren (2-5) -- Patriots are playing their first season in the NJAC and snapped a four-game slide with a 1-0 win in overtime against Lenape Valley on Friday. North's other win was out of state.

Sussex


1. High Point (5-1-1) -- Another clear choice for the top spot as coach Bev Keur's team seeks a repeat trip to the finals. Wildcats, who were hit hard by graduation, own three wins in the county -- Vernon (7-1), Pope John (2-0) and Sparta (4-1). Senior midfielder Darby Smith leads the area in scoring.
2. Wallkill Valley (4-2-1) -- Rangers are having a bit of an up-and-down campaign with a narrow 2-1 win over North Warren in a game they trailed 1-0 at the half and a 0-0 tie with Pope John. Both in stark contrast to a 1-0 win over nemesis Newton. In seven games, Wallkill has five goals.
3. Newton (5-2) -- Braves just played a tough one against NJAC Freedom Division leader Parsippany -- a 1-0 loss on Friday. Along with the aforementioned loss to Wallkill, coach Lisa Bechtel's team owns 1-0 wins over Hackettstown and Kittatinny. The loss of senior forward Melanie Rudio (out for the season following knee surgery) is a killer.
4. Pope John (3-3-2) -- First-year coach Gina DiMaio -- no stranger to winning county titles having won a pair of Hunterdon-Warren titles while at Hackettstown -- has the Lions playing well of late. After an 0-2-1 start, PJ has won three of five, including a nice 3-1 win over Vernon on Thursday. Those recent wins were sandwiched around a 0-0 tie with Wallkill and a competitive 2-0 loss to High Point.
5. Vernon (3-4) -- Vikings reached the quarterfinals last year, but graduated a lot of their offensive firepower. Their only in-county win was a 4-0 victory over Sparta on Sept. 10.
6. Kittatinny (2-5) -- Cougars are still trying to find their way in the young season and are coming off back-to-back 1-0 losses to Newton and Jefferson in the NJAC Freedom Division. They do own wins over Lenape Valley and North Warren.
7. Sparta (1-5) -- After snapping a long losing streak with a win on opening day, the Spartans have lost five in a row, though they've certainly been more competitive this season as evidenced by two one-goal losses.
8. Lenape Valley (0-5) -- Patriots scored their only goal of the season in a 2-1 loss to Kittatinny on Sept. 15. They also have two overtime losses to Hackettstown and North Warren.

Field hockey: Streaks clip Vikings to stay unbeaten

The joys of youth and innocence.

Despite a big 3-1 win over its arch-rival on Wednesday, Warren Hills' field hockey team was relatively subdued following just its sixth victory over Voorhees in the last decade -- a span of 22 meetings.

The Blue Streaks are a fairly young bunch with four sophomores in the starting lineup and a slew of underclassmen on the roster. Yet, the victory wasn't lost on the senior members, including forward/midfielder Niki Miller who scored one goal and assisted on another.

"Since my freshman year it's been back-and-forth," said Miller, who is now 3-3-1 against the Vikings in her four seasons. "We always have the mentality that we have to beat Voorhees. We're the defending [Skyland] conference [Raritan Division] champions and we don't want to lose that position. We have a lot of younger kids, mostly sophomores, and we don't have too many that know [the series history]."

Warren Hills, ranked No. 1 in the Open Mike area, has started a season 5-0 for the sixth time under veteran coach Laurie Kerr, now 6-15-3 against Voorhees. Miller, who played mostly center forward in this one, capped the scoring with her team-leading fifth goal in the second half.

It gave the Streaks some breathing room as they entered the final 30 minutes nursing a one-goal lead.

"Jessica Nissen passed it over and I saw the line, and the goalie [Kathryn Boyce] had it on her stick," said Miller, who is playing with a broken nose sustained in the offseason while playing in China on the Junior Nationals team. "I just pulled it back and flicked it in."

Junior forward Shannon Zignoli got Warren Hills on the board quickly with her third goal of the season just 1:54 into the contest.

But No. 3 Voorhees (2-1-1, 2-1-1) rallied after a slow start to tie the game with just 4:45 left before halftime. The Vikes, who still hold a 28-16-6 edge in the all-time series, didn't get their first penalty corner until the six-minute mark. The goal by junior Emily Scheier -- the first of her career that followed their second corner -- knotted things at 1.

But sophomore Nikki Profita didn't waste time giving Warren Hills the lead for good when she converted off a feed from sophomore Sydney Muntone on a corner with 1:11 left before the break. Despite a 9-1 edge in corners in the first half, neither team got an opportunity for another in the second half.

"We passed really well in the first half and [Voorhees] gave us some passing lanes," Kerr said. "One thing we need to work on is forcing corners, instead of trying to go for goals. They're used to scoring, but we need to learn when to shoot and when to try and create scoring opportunities. We played more of a safe game. We didn't do anything too high risk because you don't want to give chances to a team like Voorhees."

Despite allowing the late first-half goal, second-year Voorhees coach Taylor Webb thought her team was still in good shape heading into the half.

"Many games you're down by one at the half," said Webb, now 1-2 as a coach in the rivalry. "We knew what we had to do. We had some moments in the second half that were better than the first half, but we didn't sustain things long enough. I don't think we had as much purpose on our passes. We didn't play our system which is stick-to-stick passing. Warren Hills was in the right [defensive] postions, but we made it easier for them."

Kerr was extremely pleased with the way her young group rose to the occasion of such a big game.

"We are very young and I thought there'd be a little more excitement [after the game]," said the coach, now in her 13th season at the helm of her alma mater. "It was just another game for them. These sophomores won 22 games last year, so it was just another day at the office. I believe in this team and we battled back."

Voorhees (2-1-1, 2-1-1)              1                   0             --   1
Warren Hills (5-0, 4-0)               2                   1             --   3

First half -- WH, Shannon Zignoli, 3rd, (Niki Miller), 28:06; V, Emily Scheier, 1st, (Kathryn Roncoroni), 4:45; WH, Nikki Profita, 2nd, (Sydney Muntone), 1:11.

In NJAC action on Wednesday:

Parsippany 4, Hackettstown 3 (OT) -- Senior forward Stefania Swider connected for her third goal of the season as Kelly Healy and Kate Lyng also connected for the Tigers (3-2, 3-2), who held a 2-0 halftime lead in this NJAC Freedom Division clash.

Newton 1, Kittatinny 0 -- Senior midfielder Stephanie Mocerino connected for the winning goal off an assist from junior Katherine Kellenberger as the Braves (5-1, 4-1) won the night affair on the new turf at Palmer Field. Goalie Audrey Kelly made nine saves for the shutout.

Field hockey: Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex rankings

No change at the top as No. 1 Warren Hills ran its record to 4-0 with Saturday's 5-1 victory over Bernards in a battle of 2011 Skyland Conference division winners.

UPDATE: Following Tuesday's washout, the Blue Streaks will host No. 3 Voorhees on Wednesday in the season's first big showdown and the 50th meeting overall in what's been a great grudge series over the last decade-plus. The two teams split a pair of matchups last season -- both winning on their home fields as the Streaks won 1-0 at home on the turf, while the Vikings prevailed 2-1 in overtime on the grass in Lebanon Township.

Voorhees, which leads 28-15-6 in the series dating to 1975 when it opened, has won three of the last four meetings and 16 of 24 since 2000. The teams also tied three times (2003, 04, '09) in that stretch.

Warren Hills, which also has a big showdown at Bridgewater-Raritan on Saturday, has won just three of the last 16 encounters. Veteran Streaks coach Laurie Kerr's teams are 5-15-3 against Voorhees during her 12-year tenure. Kerr, a star player at the Washington school, was 0-1 against Voorhees as a player as the Streaks lost a 2-1 decision her senior year in 1986. The teams met just 11 times from 1986-99.

On the other end, second-year Voorhees coach Taylor Webb, an outstanding center midfielder for the Hunterdon County school, was 3-0 against Warren Hills as player -- winning 2-1 as a sophomore, 1-0 as a junior and 2-0 as a senior in the 2002 Hunterdon-Warren final.

Both teams are extremely young, but talented, so this should be another great one as this series usually decides the Skyland Raritan Division winner. Perhaps the first of three potential meetings this season. Voorhees will host the next regular-season clash on Tuesday, Oct. 9.

On with the rankings:

1. Warren Hills (4-0) -- Blue Streaks broke out offensively in their two wins last week after a pair of tight 2-1 affairs to open the season. First up was a 4-0 win over No. 4 Phillipsburg as Kerr notched her 200th win. Sophomore forward Jessica Nissen socred a pair of goals in the victory and got her fourth of the season in Saturday's 5-1 win over Bernards. Senior midfielder Niki Miller had a big week with one goal and two assists in each win. She also has four goals on the season. Kerr enters the week with an overall mark of 201-59-11.

Up next: Voorhees at home on Wednesday; at Somerville on Tuesday; at Bridgewater-Raritan on Saturday.

2. Hunterdon Central (3-2) -- Red Devils have faced some stiff competition in the early going -- falling 3-2 to a very good Pingry team last Thursday before closing the week with a 1-0 independent win over Westfield on Saturday. Central enters the week 2-2 in the rugged Skyland Conference Delaware Division. Sophomore forward Kendall Nickel has carried much of the offensive load, scoring five goals in the team's last three games, including a hat trick in the Devils' 6-0 win over North Hunterdon last Tuesday.

Up next: at Madison on Tuesday; Watchung Hills at home on Thursday; Lawrenceville at home on Saturday.

3. Voorhees (2-0-1) -- The young Vikes are coming off a light work week -- a 1-1 tie at Montgomery last Monday and a 5-0 blanking of Somerville in a pair of Raritan Division matchups. Sophomore forward Abby Flagler made the scoring list with a goal and two assists against the 'Ville. Junior midfielder Tori Crans also notched her first goal of the season in that one. In all, seven different players have scored goals for Voorhees this season.

Up next: at Warren Hills on Wednesday; Delaware Valley at home on Thursday.

4. Phillipsburg (3-2) -- Stateliners went 2-1 last week, beating Somerville, 5-1, on the road before the loss to Warren Hills. Coach Jen Paulus' team capped it with a 3-0 win at Blair Academy on Saturday. Janelle Jackson had a goal and an assist in the victory over the Bucs, while goalie Brittany Lavin made two saves for her second shutout.

Up next: Delaware Valley at home on Tuesday; at Montgomery on Thursday; Ridge at home on Saturday.

5. High Point (4-0-1) -- Wildcats kept rolling with a 3-0 week, beating Mount Olive (4-0), Morris Hills (7-0) and Pope John (2-0) in NJAC American Division clashes. High Point has held the opposition scoreless in four straight, including a 0-0 tie with Pequannock. Senior forward Darby Smith increased her tri-county leading goals total to nine, including a hat trick against Morris Hills. Sophomore Alexis Ambrosino scored a total of six goals in the three wins.

Up next: at Sparta on Thursday; Montville at home on Saturday.

6. Delaware Valley (2-2) -- Terriers lost a pair of tough ones -- 2-1 to Warren Hills last Tuesday and 2-0 to Montgomery on Thursday before ending the week on a positive note with Friday's 1-0 win over North Hunterdon. Junior forward Robyn Case scored the winning goal off a feed from junior tri-captain Kristen Brokaw. Goalie Jackie Compta made two saves for the shutout.

Up next: at Phillipsburg on Tuesday; at Voorhees on Thursday; Notre Dame-East Stroudsburg (Pa.) at home on Friday.

7. Wallkill Valley (3-1-1) -- Rangers rebounded from their first loss -- 7-0 to Parsippany last Tuesday -- with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Jefferson on Thursday and Newton on Saturday in a pair of NJAC Freedom Division matchups. The latter was on Newton's brand new turf field and gave coach Irene Chernati's team three straight wins over the Braves dating to last season. Junior forwards Casey Pustelniak and Courtney Berado had the winning goals last week. On Monday, Wallkill played to a 0-0 tie with unranked Pope John. Rangers have scored three goals in five games.

Up next: at North Warren on Wednesday; Hackettstown at home on Friday.

8. Newton (4-1) -- Braves rebounded from Saturday's 1-0 loss to No. 7 Wallkill Valley for a 4-3 win over Blair Academy on Monday. Senior midfielder Stephanie Mocerino scored a pair of goals, and she will be counted on to pick up more of the load with the loss of senior foward Melanie Rudio, who is done for the season with a knee injury.

Up next: Kittatinny at home on Wednesday night; Parsippany at home on Friday.

9. South Hunterdon (3-1) -- After a 1-0 win over No. 10 Belvidere on Thursday, the Eagles took their first loss, 5-0, to Montgomery on Saturday. Forward Kaycee Zelkovsky scored the winning goal against the County Seaters -- her team-leading fourth of the season. Goalie Samantha Soscia made eight saves for the shutout.

Up next: North Plainfield at home on Tuesday; Mount Saint Mary at home on Thursday; at Stuart Day on Friday.

10. Belvidere (2-3) -- County Seaters stopped a three-game skid -- all shutouts -- with Saturday's 2-0 win over Somerville in a Skyland crossover contest. Senior forward Alexa Beaumont converted a pair of goals in the victory. Senior goalie Amanda Fisher made two saves for the shutout.

Up next: at North Hunterdon on Saturday.

Wrestling: NJSIAA releases 2012-13 classifications

Despite the uncertainty of when districts or regions may be held or whether there will be a week off between Groups and districts, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association released its classifications for the 2012-13 wrestling season.

Just a quick glance, High Point is back in Group 2 after winning the North 1, Group 2 sectional championship last season before a Group 2 semifinal loss to champion Raritan.

South Plainfield, last year's Group 3 champion and likely to start the upcoming season ranked as the state's No. 1 team,  is back in the North 2, Group 3 section. Good new for High Point fans, not so much for Warren Hills fans. The Blue Streaks, who figure to have one of their best teams in recent years, are also in North 2, Group 3.

Phillipsburg, the defending Group 4 champion, will be a heavy favorite to repeat in the North 2, Group 4 draw. The Stateliners have won 32 of a possible 33 sectional crowns since 1980 -- reaching every final and only falling in the 1990 title match to Warren Hills.

In one change from last year, Lenape Valley drops down from Group 2 to Group 1 and shifts from the North 1 section to North 2. Definitely good news for Pats coach Doug Vetter, whose team figures to be a contender in that section.
