Bier scores lone goal as LHS ends seasons 19-3-1.
Although the Livingston girls soccer team faced a familiar foe, Montclair, in the North 1, Group 4 final, they also endured a familiar result against their Essex County rival.

Although they finished 19-3-1, they went 0-3-1 against Montclair (21-0-1), including losses in Essex County Tournament and sectional state championship games.
