Only two Ocean County boys soccer teams managed to get past the second round and into the quarterfinals of the Shore Conference Tournament. Southern Regional was eliminated by one of them.

Following a first-round victory over Raritan, the Rams (10-5-1) were bounced by Central Regional, 2-0, in the second round on Oct. 18. Southern finished with 10 shots on goal, but each was saved by opposing goalkeeper Kaden Stout.
