CBA beat Delbarton 3-0 in the NJSIAA Non-Public title game a year ago to cap a 27-0-3 capaign, becoming the state's first unbeaten hockey team in 15 years.
But Delbarton has achieved a measure of revenge by handing CBA both its losses this season. The teams also skated to a draw in a third meeting but a rematch could occur in the March 6 championshp game at the Prudential Arena. Delbarton is the tournament's No. 1 seed.
Leighton Biesiadecki, Sean Guinnessey, Vinny Barba and Derek Fiore also scored for CBA against St. Joe's (7-13-4) and Rocco Morenzi made seven saves.
