After a scoreless first half, Duarte got Stockton on the board at 60:55 with an assist from Clay Gashlin (Bayville/Central Regional) whose cross went through the goalie’s hands. At the end of the game, the Rowan goalie pushed forward to the offensive end as the Profs tried for the tying goal. Thomsen broke free on a long pass from  Kyle Evans (Seaville/Ocean City) and scored into the empty net with just five seconds remaining to seal the 2-0 Stockton victory.
