Gov. Livingston Boys Soccer Loses For First Time
Delaware Valley defeats Highlanders 3-2 in final minutes.

With each victory, the pressure mounts, along with the expectations. The Gov. Livingston boys' varsity soccer team has handled it all well, and with the Union County Tournament on the horizon, Monday's game versus Delaware Valley was a key non-conference tuneup.
Despite a great start with GL going up 2-0 very early in the contest, a talented Del Val squad battled back to tie the game -- all within first 12 minutes.
