Love's Brilliance Ignites Cinnaminson's Undefeated Reign as Soccer Season Heats Up

Cinnaminson, NJ – In a display of pure athletic dominance, senior sensation James Love continues to light up the South Jersey high school soccer scene, spearheading the Cinnaminson boys' team to an unblemished 6-0 record. The Division I commit, destined for Saint Joseph's University, proved once again why he's one of the state's most formidable forwards, bagging two more goals in Cinnaminson's commanding 4-0 triumph over Holy Cross Prep.

The match against Holy Cross Prep showcased the Pirates' relentless attacking prowess and impenetrable defense.

Love, a force to be reckoned with, found the back of the net twice, bringing his season tally to an astonishing nine goals in just six outings. His consistent scoring has not only fueled Cinnaminson's perfect start but has also solidified his status as a leading contender for top individual honors.

But Cinnaminson's success isn't just about one player.

While Love's offensive fireworks steal headlines, the team's defensive unit has been equally stellar. The shutout against Holy Cross Prep marked their fourth clean sheet of the season, a testament to their disciplined backline and the sharp reflexes of goalkeeper Mason Homan, who made four crucial saves to preserve the blank slate.

Cinnaminson head coach Mike Velardi couldn't hide his admiration for his star player and the team's collective effort.

“James Love is a special talent, and it's not just his scoring; it's his leadership, his work rate, and his dedication to making everyone around him better,” Velardi remarked. “He leads by example, and the team truly feeds off his energy. Our defense has also been outstanding, creating a solid foundation for our attacking players to thrive.”

Love's journey has been one of consistent excellence.

Last season, he was an integral part of the Cinnaminson attack, contributing 23 goals and 10 assists. His commitment to Saint Joseph's University underscores the recognition of his talent at the collegiate level, and he's showing no signs of slowing down in his final high school campaign.

The young Holy Cross Prep team, guided by coach Andrew Guglielmi, fought valiantly but ultimately couldn't contain the Pirates' relentless assault.

"Cinnaminson is a very strong team, and James Love is an exceptional player. He makes things happen," Guglielmi commented, acknowledging the challenge his squad faced.

As the season progresses, Cinnaminson, under the potent combination of Love's scoring magic and a rock-solid defense, is not just aiming for more regular-season victories.

With every decisive win, they are building momentum and confidence, setting their sights on a deep and memorable run in the state playoffs, hoping to cap off an already remarkable season with championship glory.
