NJCAA Region 19 District A Champions
Roadrunner Coach Tom Eichhorn and his assistant coaches Kenyatta Collins and Natalie Pantalone have done an excellent job in guiding the Runners to an impressive 11-3-2 overall record against a tough 2025 schedule. They slipped by Bergen CCC, 1-0, in the Region 19 District A championship game for heir eighth straight win!
Several players, freshmen and sophomores alike, have sparked the team's success. All-Region selections include Goalkeeper Mackenzie Cignatta, defender Brianna Morgan, midfielder Ava Pino and forward Brianna Howard.
Pino, a Delsea graduate, has performed well at midfield, scoring 21 points on 4 goals and 13 assits. Freshman Brianna Morgan has anchored the back line on defense while teammates Brianna Howard (23 points) and Ava Delaney (22 points) and Riley Cogan (17 points) have provided a solid attack with freshman Ryann Foote adding scoring power off the bench. Chipping in to the offensive firepower has been Emily Belsanti, who scored the winning goal in the Region 19 title match, as wellas Jordyn White, who collected 16 points this Fall.
Others have contributed as well, including Allie Blankenship, with everyone on the roster playing their top-level games currently.
"We have challenged ourselves early ..played against some tough competition ... and the results have proven that the girls are working hard -- they're scoring goals, they're defending and they're doing everything we've asked of them," said Eichhorn. "It's really working out well.
"We are excited to see how far we can go in the National tournament -- every game will be a tough battle."
