New Providence still has one regular-season contest remaining (against Kenilworth tomorrow), and then it's on to the State Tournament for a team who'll certainly contend for a State Section title. The NP girls are top-seeded in a seven-team North Jersey Section, so they'll begin in the sectional semifinal round next Tuesday, Nov. 11. It'll be either McNair Academy or North Arlington visiting Lieder Field that afternoon.
The Pioneers were likewise a top seed a year ago, when they were competing in Central Jersey. That tourney run ended with a sectional semifinal loss to Robbinsville.
If pressed on the issue, Coach Scott Murphy would likely admit NP's present North Jersey Section might be a tad less difficult, but the more significant difference this autumn is New Providence possessing a stronger side. Closs and Schlobohm, who each started as sophomores, form one of the better front tandems in Union County, while Farrell and sophomore Gina Caprara supply additional firepower from the midfield.
Senior Caitlin Sneeden is a standout at the stopper position fronting a stellar back-four that likewise comprises sweeper Nan Tucker and marking backs Lindsay Rosenstein and Alexa Lesnewich. Junior goalkeeper Connie Haggerty has been protecting the varsity net since October of her freshman year.
Whippany Park (11-6-1) is regarded as the team New Providence must beat to win the State Section.

New Providence holds North Arlington without a shot in 5-0 win
By MELISSA CHODAN • Staff Writer
NEW PROVIDENCE —The New Providence High School soccer team is not asking any questions. After being bounced in the first round of the NJSIAA Tournament in each of the past three years, the Pioneers advanced to their first sectional final since 2004 with Tuesday's 5-0 over North Arlington in the North 2 Group I semifinals.
"We really didn't know these teams," junior Kim Closs said. "We're not in it thinking they're supposed to be good. We kind of go in it and play our games. We don't worry about who they are or what their record is."
New Providence was outscored 11-0 in the three first-round losses from 2005-2007 but Tuesday managed to keep North Arlington from even taking a shot. The Pioneers moved from Central into North 2 this season and set a preseason goal of a state game. Three wins away from a state title, those plans have changed. "I was expecting to get past the first round," Closs said. "Now that we did that, we have the momentum."
The top-seeded Pioneers will play host to seventh-seeded Glen Ridge at 2 p.m Friday as they look to garner their first sectional title since 2003 — when they went on to win the state Group I title. "We always hear about the 2003 team," junior Rachel Schlobohm said. "They were the ones that made it. I want him (New Providence coach Scott Murphy) to say the 2008 team, not the 2003 team."
The Pioneers — who have outscored their competition 77-14 this season — came out shooting against North Arlington, holding a 9-0 first-half advantage in shots. The only shot converted came in the sixth minute, with Closs taking a pass from Schlobohm and firing it into the back of the net. New Providence continued to create opportunities but had trouble finishing.
"We lost focus as soon as we scored our first goal," Closs said. "We kind of thought we had it in the bag. We got too excited too early. The intensity went down, and we had to pick it back up." New Providence stretched its lead in the opening minutes of the second half. Schlobohm scored off of Alexa Lesnewich's cross two and a half minutes in. Lauren Bulzacchelli assisted Closs' second goal a minute later to put the Pioneers up 3-0. Schlobohm scored off Closs' pass with 27 minutes left, and Allison Boyle capped off the scoring nine minutes later. New Providence held a 22-0 shot advantage.
"The defense did a great job keeping it out and making sure they stayed on their players," Schlobohm said. "The midfield kept moving up and going back when they needed to." The New Providence defense kept the ball out of their third of the field. "The unsung part of our team is our defense," Murphy said. "The goal scorers get their names in the paper. The defense does our dirty work, gets the ball out."

The victory improved NP's record to 15-2-2, and the top-seeded Lady Pioneers will host the sectional championship match Friday, Nov. 14 at Lieder Field. Glen Ridge (10-7-1), the Group I Section's seventh seed, will provide the opposition.
Juniors Schlobohm and Closs accounted for the first four New Providence tallies Tuesday against the overmatched visitors from Bergen County. Junior goalkeeper Connie Haggerty registered a rather comfortable one-save shutout. The section's fifth-seeded entry, North Arlington saw its campaign conclude with a 12-6-1 record.

GROUP I SEMIFINAL
Who: New Providence (16-3-1) vs. Waldwick (14-7)
When/Where: Today, 5 p.m., at Ridge High School
How they got here: New Providence beat Glen Ridge 2-0, Waldwick edged Cresskill 2-1 in a shootout.
New Providence report: The Pioneers cruise into the state semifinals for the first time since 2003. While New Providence's much-heralded offense continues to marry ball to net, the defense has been perfect lately, as the Pioneers have posted five straight shutouts. Kim Closs and Rachel Schloebohm continued their offensive assault in Friday's sectional final victory over Glen Ridge, as each scored a goal. Closs added an assist on Schloebohm's tally. Closs now ranks second in the area in scoring with 26 goals and 13 assists, while Schloebohm is 10th with 16 goals and 11 assists. The Pioneers notched a victory in this game five years ago before heading to The College of New Jersey, where they shared the Group I state title with Glen Rock. A win here and New Providence would face the winner of today's Robbinsville/Gateway game at TCNJ with the chance to win another state crown.
Waldwick report: The Warriors who are led by first-year head coach Santiago Salme, have surprised many, including themselves, with this run. Waldwick, which suffered heavy graduation losses and fields a very young team, shook off a 4-3 start and a first-round exit from the Bergen County Tournament to win its first sectional title in 13 years. But while there was some panic at the start of the season, Salme said, the Warriors do play a schedule that includes some Group III and Group IV teams, and, Salme believes, that experience has only helped his squad during this run. Junior sweeper Jen Ott leads the defense, and has the most varsity experience on the unit, while the midfield is led by senior Meredith Dickenson. Senior forward Mimi Kocela is the team's top scorer, a good finisher who has a lot of experience being around the game all her life. Her 24 goals has her tied for conference lead. While the squad is very good on the ground, Salme said, it does lack height, and it's caused some difficulty winning balls in the air. Still, the Warriors' good team speed has helped make up for any vertical deficiency.

Pioneers ousted by Waldwick in shootout
By SIMEON PINCUS • Staff Writer
BERNARDS —The only way the New Providence High School girls soccer team could have been closer to making it to the NJSIAA Group I final at The College of New Jersey, was if the team bus had broken down on Route 31.
The North 2 Group I champion Pioneers did everything they could to sustain their postseason run Tuesday and earn their first trip to the final since 2003. But it in the end New Providence wound up on the wrong end of 3-2 penalty-kick shootout in the Group I semifinals, and fell to North 1 champion Waldwick 2-1 at Ridge High School.
Considering New Providence's frustration a year ago, Murphy couldn't have been happier with the way things turned out this year — unless the season hadn't ended in what is, essentially, a guessing game.
"Coming from last year, tying six games, we kind of had an idea that we needed to take that step to get to the next step," New Providence coach Scott Murphy said. "But if you had told me that we were going to be a shootout away from going to the state final, I don't know if I would have believed you, but I definitely would have taken it."
The game did not start out promising for New Providence, as Waldwick dominated the first 25 minutes, with the ball spending very little time in the Warriors' defensive third.
The Pioneers, who were outshot 6-3 in the first half and 12-6 through regulation and two overtimes, did not manage a shot on goal until the 15th minute, which was the first time Waldwick keeper Jill Neugebauer even touched the ball.
But New Providence netminder Connie Haggerty did her part, as the junior made six first-half saves, including two on blasts from inside of 25 yards, and the Pioneers defense did not allow Waldwick any good chances.
But as tense and somewhat bewildered the Pioneers seemed with the Warriors young, speedy team giving New Providence fits in their own third, it was the Pioneers that struck first.
Sophomore Gina Caprara managed New Providence's first good scoring chance in the 25th minute when she ripped a left-footed shot from the left side, just inside the 30-yard line.
And though that shot sailed over the net, Caprara wouldn't be denied on her second attempt, as she blasted a similar shot from nearly the same spot, only this one found the right corner of the net to give the Pioneers a 1-0 lead 26:06 into the first period.
While the goal definitely breathed new life into the New Providence effort, the momentum was short-lived, as Val Bedrock tied it for Waldwick six minutes later, connecting on a free kick from the left sideline, 10 yards out.
"I thought once Gina got the goal, I thought we would kind of settle down and play our game," Murphy said. "They definitely had the better of play (the first 25 minutes). To give them credit, their movement caused us problems by moving all over the field. We didn't know who to mark. But I thought after Gina's goal we would settle in, which we did, a little bit. Then their goal, after that, we kind of evened everything out."
Compared to the first half, the second period was relatively even, with Waldwick enjoying a 3-2 advantage in shots on goal.
The Warriors were at it again in overtime, blasting three shots on goal. Haggerty's finest save of the game came with 3:58 left in the second overtime on a diving stop to keep it knotted.
But it was becoming painfully obvious, especially to New Providence, which had been eliminated from the Union County Tournament in penalty kicks, that the game was headed for a shootout.
"I didn't want to think that, because we're not very good at shootouts, but midway through the first overtime I went to (assistant) Coach (Melissa) Halpern and said, "OK, we got our five shooters ready? Because it seems like it's going that way.' "
Christine Toro opened the shootout, connecting for Waldwick. And after New Providence sandwiched a Warriors' miss with two misses of its own, Gina Mazzariello gave Waldwick a 2-0 lead.
Caprara connected on her shot to cut it to 2-1, but Renee Schultz hit for Waldwick, bringing up Rachel Schlobohm, who blasted one past Neugebauer to tie it.
After Mimi Kocela missed for Waldwick, the Pioneers had a chance to force sudden-death, but Neugebauer guessed right on New Providence's fifth attempt to send the Warriors to TCNJ.
"I've said it before and I'll say it again," Murphy said, "I hate shootouts!"
Penalty kicks end season for New Providence soccer girls
by ART POLAKOWSKI
BASKING RIDGE -- The New Providence High School girls soccer season ended Tuesday evening, Nov. 18, when the Lady Pioneers were defeated on tiebreaking penalty kicks after playing a 1-1 draw against Waldwick in the State Semifinal round of the NJSIAA Tournament at Ridge High School. North Jersey Section Two champion New Providence scored first against North One champ Waldwick, sophomore wing midfielder Gina Caprara converting an assist feed from junior striker Kim Closs 13 minutes before halftime. However, the Bergen County squad answered six minutes later via a direct kick by Val Bedrock, the Lady Warriors' talented sophomore center midfielder. The teams played scoreless soccer the rest of the match, which included 20 minutes of overtime. The result advanced Waldwick (14-7-1) to the Group I State Final round, while New Providence's campaign concluded with a 16-2-3 record.

Soccer girls fashioned a top campaign
by Eddie Morgan/Tracking the Pioneers
NEW PROVIDENCE -- On Tuesday night, November 18, Ridge High School had the atmosphere of a state championship football game. Except when one looked on the field, there were no helmets colliding. There was a fair share of tackling going on; however, this tackling was not of the kind that football fanatics would be accustomed too. It was soccer tackling, which there was plenty of when the New Providence girls' team squared off in a physical battle against Waldwick High School in the Group I State Semifinal round of the NJSIAA Tournament.
Evenly contested throughout, this soccer match was decided via penalty kicks. Unfortunately, the Lady Pioneers could not register the victory. Nevertheless, it was a great experience for the girls, who now know what it takes to be the best.
With the NP girls having earned the number-one seed in their 2007 State Section Tournament but then suffering a 4-0 loss to Robbinsville in their first tourney match, avenging that poor performance was one of the goals coming into the season. Accomplishing that, and more, was what they did in claiming the 2008 North Two sectional championship by defeating Glen Ridge in dominating fashion. It was a 2-0 margin of victory that featured outstanding play in all facets of the game.
Therefore, with a sectional championship under their belt, the Pioneers have plenty to be proud of this autumn. Throw in a strong showing at the Union County Tournament, a Mountain/Valley Conference championship, and a final record of 16-3-2, and one could say that the 2008 campaign was an overwhelming success.
Reflecting on the season, star forward Kim Closs identified beating archrival Governor Livingston on opening day and slamming Brearley, (a team that handed NP one of its two regular-season defeats) as other highlights for this 2008 soccer edition.
The starting lineup was headed by senior captains Robin Farrell, Holly Tucker, and Caitlin Sneeden, who occupied the attacking midfield, right midfield and defensive stopper spots, respectively. Up front, New Providence featured the area's the premier offensive tandem - and potentially the best forward duo that New Providence has possessed in the school's history. Junior classmates Closs and Rachel Schlobohm terrorized opposing goalkeepers all year with their breakaway speed and powerful shots.
Sophomore stalwart Gina Caprara and junior Amy Marchisio occupied the other two midfield posts. Joining Sneeden at the defensive end were senior Lindsay Rosenstein and juniors Alexa Lesnewich and Nan Tucker. Although not receiving the glory that the offensive players do, this defensive unit consistently proved to be an impenetrable
force.
Manning the net this season was junior Connie Haggerty, a fixture at the position since early in her freshman year. And always ready to play a vital role when called upon were substitutes Jenna Fay, Allie Boyle, and Nicole Saitta.
A large amount of this team's success could be attributed to the love that these girls have for each other - and for the game of soccer.
"I've never before played on a team where everyday it was exciting to go to practice and work hard, side by side, with my teammates." Schlobohm related.
"We played so well as a team, and our close friendships allowed us to connect on and off the field," added Closs.
That kind of collective attitude is what any championship team must have; this year, the Lady Pioneers showed what great team chemistry can lead to. And with the 15 underclassmen on NP's varsity roster determined to keep that unity intact, the New Providence girls soccer team appears poised to make an even deeper run in the State Tournament next year.

BY RICH BEVENSEE
New Providence (19-1-0) Relies on Strong Defense
to Take Control
If New Providence rallies for two more victories and the program's third NJSIAA Group 1 title, Scott Murphy knows the success will have stemmed largely from the strongest defensive unit in his six years as head coach.
"People look at our team and see our offense because we don't have trouble scoring goals," Murphy said. "But this has been our best defensive corps. It's a very balanced group."
That defense will have to take control when New Providence (16-2-2) faces Waldwick (14-7) in the Group 1 semifinals today at 5 p.m. at Ridge High in Basking Ridge. In the other semi today, Robbinsville (15-4) and Gateway (18-3) meet at 7 p.m. at Toms River South.
Senior co-captain and stopper Caitlin Sneeden anchors a New Providence defensive group that has chalked up five straight shutouts and 11 in all, and has permitted just 14 goals in 20 games
Sneeden said that she, junior keeper Connie Haggerty, junior sweeper Nan Tucker, junior defensive center midfielder Amy Marchisio, senior outside back Lindsay Rosenstein and junior outside back Alexa Lesnewich understand their roles aren't always the ones that get headlines.
"It's an incredible feeling when we can shut out a team because it means we're keeping our team in the game," Sneeden said. "We know what our responsibilities are and that it may not mean getting our names in the paper. But I love being part of the dirty work because it's more of a self-satisfying thing for me."
The best: Robbinsville, with prolific scorer Laura Greb (17 goals, 10 assists), more than handled its own this fall while competing against bigger schools in the Colonial Valley Conference.
The rest: A breakout season for Gateway has been spurred greatly by a seasoned offense that banks on the scoring touch of senior forward Devan Doyle (35 goals).
The seventh seed in a well-stocked North Jersey, Section 1, Waldwick took down Cresskill, Kinnelon and Emerson -- the top three seeds -- en route to its first sectional crown since 1995. Seniors Mimi Kocela (23 goals) and Meredith Dickinson (15 goals) have clicked with sophomore Val Bedrock (five goals, 21 assists).
Prediction: The rigors of a tough schedule should pay off for Robbinsville, which has yet to give up a goal in the state tournament.
DEFENSIVE STOPPER -- Senior Caitlin Sneeden (24) has been a stella defender
all season for a New Providence soccer team that claimed the Group I State Section championship via its 2-0 victory against Glen Ridge last Friday.
ATHLETE OF THE MONTH -- The premier player for a New Providence soccer team that claimed NJSIAA State Section and Mountain/Valley Conference championships, Kim Closs receives her award from RYCO's Jim Newton. Sponsored by RYCO, the 'Athlete of the Month' is selected by the Independent Press.
Since continuing the sport at a Division I college is a career aspiration to which she readily admits, it would seem somewhat of a paradox that Kim Closs recently scaled back her off-season soccer activity.
"I switched to a different club team on which the time obligation isn't as heavy in terms of practices and matches," Closs reported. "It's still real good soccer but not quite on the level of the club where I formerly played."
The reason for the change?
"I thought my out-of-season soccer was interfering too much with my other sports," the New Providence junior explained. "Soccer is the game I'm hoping to play at the next level, but competing in high school swimming and track is also important to me. I enjoy those sports very much, and I need to be fully committed to my teams during the winter and spring seasons."
Here's a 17-year-old who understands it the way you wish many more coaches and parents would.
"That's one of the qualities which make Kim the athlete she is," NP soccer Coach Scott Murphy agreed. "She's a star who never wants to be treated as such. Kim is there for her team and her teammates."
Last month, the New Providence soccer team completed a season during which the Lady Pioneers claimed Mountain/Valley Conference and NJSIAA State Section championships. Only twice was New Providence outscored en route to a 16-2-3 record. Both Pioneer tournament exits - in the Union County quarters and State semifinal - resulted from penalty kicks.
Closs, who tallied 26 goals and added 12 assists this autumn, is our RYCO / Independent Press 'Athlete of the Month' for November.
"Offensively, she's surely the best player I've ever coached," related Murphy. "Kim has a unique ability to put a shot on net even when it doesn't look like an opportunity is there. Any angle, either foot - she'll at least force the opposing keeper to make a save."
Either foot?
"That's one of her remarkable attributes," Murphy noted. "You can't tell if Kim is right or left-footed. She takes our corner kicks from both sides, and she'll vary those in terms of which foot she uses, depending upon whether she's trying to bend the ball into the goalmouth or set up a teammate straight on."
Closs prefers to set up on the left side, where her signature move is a crossover dribble to the inside that offers the option of shooting with either foot.
Likewise blessed with explosive speed, Closs will enter her senior campaign having already scored 55 career goals. Kim's been a varsity starter since the opening match of her freshman year.
Improving a couple components of her game to elevate Closs' stature as a D-I recruit will be a point of soccer emphasis in terms of next season, but Kim's stated soccer goals revolve around New Providence's 2009 team.
"Our goal next year is to at least make the County Finals and to go all the way in the State Tournament," projected Closs, who'll be among seven returning Pioneer starters.
"We had 12 juniors on our varsity roster, and virtually all of them have been playing together for a long time," Coach Murphy related. "Plus there are some good kids in the grades behind them. We've got a chance to be a special team next season."
And in Kim Closs, it's for sure the Lady Pioneers will be led by a special player.

New Providence still has one regular-season contest remaining (against Kenilworth tomorrow), and then it's on to the State Tournament for a team who'll certainly contend for a State Section title. The NP girls are top-seeded in a seven-team North Jersey Section, so they'll begin in the sectional semifinal round next Tuesday, Nov. 11. It'll be either McNair Academy or North Arlington visiting Lieder Field that afternoon.
