MORRISTOWN – Mother Nature was the big winner Monday night as the OVAC Soccer Tournament saw several matches either postponed or cut short due to inclement weather.
In boys Class 4A quarterfinal action at Jets Stadium, No. 3 Union Local and No. 6 Harrison Central were deadlocked at one late in the 16th minute when nearby lightning strikes forced both teams into the adjacent locker room facility and left fans scrambling to their respective cars.
Following numerous lightning strikes, the match was suspended and tentatively re-scheduled for Tuesday at 4:45 p.m., pending the availability of referees.
Sophomore Dominic Crum scored the Union Local goal in the sixth action off a cross from Ian Thornton.
The Huskies tied the count less than 10 minutes later when Cooper Thompson headed the ball
