Boxscore Clay Gashlin (Bayville/Central Regional) had Stockton’s best scoring chance of the first half on a shot from the left wing that the Swarthmore goalie got his arm on and deflected off the post. Osprey goalkeeper Tim Brett (Palmyra/Palmyra) later made a point-blank save on a header, and the game was scoreless at the break. In the second half, Swarthmore got on the board first by scoring on a rebound at 58:27. The goal came after Brett stopped a blast from inside the top of the box. Stockton knotted the contest on Brian Thomsen’s (Brick/Msgr. Donovan) goal just under six minutes later. Rafael Duarte (Ocean City/Ocean City) and Kevin Churchill (Newton/Newton) had the assists with a header and a flick to Thomsen for the finish. Duarte registered Stockton’s best chance of the scoreless first overtime on 12-yard shot from the right wing that sailed wide. Swarthmore attempted two shots from inside the box in the first OT, but both were off the mark. Evans’ game-winning tally came early in the second extra session for the 2-1 Stockton triumph. Brett made nine saves in picking up his seventh win of the season and running his unbeaten streak to nine straight contests. |
