After losing six of their last seven regular season games, the prospects for Washington Township winning another South Jersey Group 4 final for boys soccer weren’t looking too great.
But after three straight shutouts, including a 4-0 win over Egg Harbor on Monday, The Minutemen are back in the sectional final they won in 2014 and 2015 en route to their back-to-back state championships.

Third-seeded Rancocas Valley advanced in the other sectional semifinal with a 4-1 win in the penalty shootout after a scoreless draw at No.
