Seton Hall Prep just made a pretty impressive statement.

Led by Leading Edge 2021 Jack Dunleavy‘s three-goal, one-assist day and eight saves from ’22 Jaz Zanelli (Bucknell), the Pirates routed rival Delbarton, 12-5, in a battle of New Jersey’s top two teams Wednesday.

“The focus is on playing more as a unit more than Me Ball. We play team ball,” Dunleavy told Mike Kinney of NJ.com. “If we keep playing like that, we know it’s gonna take us really far.”
