NJAC Tournament semifinals: Stockton 1, Rowan 0 | ||
Val Davison (Cranbury/Princeton) scored the game-winning goal in the second half to lift third-seeded Stockton to a 1-0 victory over second-seeded Rowan in an NJAC tournament semifinal game. Ospreys’ goalkeeper Alex Rogers (Medford/Shawnee) made three saves for her 10th shutout of the season. With the win, Stockton advanced to the NJAC tournament final for the first-time in the nine-year history of the tournament. The Ospreys will face top-seeded College of New Jersey for the league championship.
Davison, part of a Stockton senior class that had been 0-4 against Rowan, volleyed a cross by Courtney Dougherty (Ocean City/Ocean City) just inside the right post at 66:30 to break the scoreless deadlock. The match was a physical, defensive struggle in which the teams combined for few scoring chances. Rogers made her best save in the second half on a high shot that she was able to deflect off the crossbar and then recover. With the 1-0 victory, Rogers extended her shutout streak to 287 minutes.
