When Chatham needed a stop, it knew it where to look.

Leading Edge 2021 Griffin Kology came up with a big 1v1 stop at the end of the game to help the Cougars cement a 7-6 win over Ridge on Monday.

“It was definitely hectic, but we go over that in practice and we were prepared,” Kology told Brandon Gould of NJ.com. “Even though that moment can seem so chaotic, we’re calm in those situations. We’ve relied on our defense and our goalie all year and we know we can hunker down and get that ball back to win the game.”
