PANTHER OF THE GAME

COACH'S TAKE

"We have not played well for a full game and that's bad. Obviously, we've done some nice things, we're 12-1. Most 12-1 teams you think are dominating the competition. We are not dominating anyone. We've had a couple of close games that could have gone either way, three games went into overtime. This 'thing' this team has, is these peaks and valleys of our inconsistent play. And today was the closest we've had of putting a whole game together."—Bridgewater coach Gene McAteer

UP NEXT—The Panthers will host North Hunterdon Thursday at 7 p.m.
