Shoreham-Wading River junior T.J. Neidhart came back from a late one-point deficit to defeat Phillip Barriero, a senior from Massena (Section V). Neidhart trailed 4-3 with about 25 seconds left before coming back to score two with four seconds left. As the match ended it wasn't clear if Barriero had scored before the end or if the match would continue. Two referees discussed it and ruled the match was over and Neidhart had won.
Neidhart led 2-0 and 2-1 after one period. Barriero tied it in the second with an escape point. Neidhart went back ahead 3-2 in the third before Barriero scored two to take his first lead, 4-3, with about 25 seconds left.
Neidhart advanced to the quarterfinals where he'll face Paul Martin, who beat Joey Gambino.
