For Delaware Valley, it was a save that came in the Nick of time.

Leading Edge 2023 Nick Catino came up with the biggest of his 15 saves as time expired to preserve Del Val’s 7-6 win over Somerville on Monday.

“It was nerve-wracking there at the end because they could have done anything during those eight seconds,” Catino told Brandon Gould of NJ.com. “Once I saw him coming around and shoot though, I knew I had it. I made the save and that was it. We feel like people look down on Del Val, so a win over Somerville like this feels really good.”
