Wayne did make a run in the second half, pulling within 61-56 with just under a minute remaining. Siljee’s three point attempt with 33 seconds could have pulled WV within two, but the ball rimmed out. Some felt that Siljee had been fouled taking the shot, but nothing was called.
“It’s tough when you get up big,” Passaic Valley head coach Rob Carcich said. “I know we looked forward to Friday (the semifinals). We thought the game was over. I guess we didn’t know who we were playing. You have to give Wayne Valley credit.”
“We thought this game would be closer than it was,” said Governali. “We were hot in the beginning. We knew we couldn’t keep it up, but it was good enough to keep us ahead.”
Passaic Valley advances to play Old Tappan tomorrow in Old Tappan.
