UNION, N.J. (9/23/06) - Rutgers-Camden freshman back Julia
Jackson (Absecon, N.J.) netted the game-winner early in the second
half and the Scarlet Raptors held off the Cougar attack in
defeating host Kean University, 2-1, in New Jersey Athletic
Conference women's soccer action on Saturday evening. The victory
improved the Scarlet Raptors to 6-2 overall, 2-1 in the conference,
while Kean dropped to 5-2 overall, 1-2 in the NJAC.
The Raptors took an early 1-0 lead, as freshman forward Kendyll
Clayton (Philadelphia, Pa.) picked up the loose ball in the box
following a cross and fired a shot just inside the post.
Kean tied the game midway through the first half in the 21st
minute, when senior forward Heather Anzivino (Belford, N.J.) took a
pass from junior forward Michelle Fischer (Scotch Plains, N.J.) and
fired a quick shot that beat the keeper back to the net.
Early in the second half, Jackson netted the game-winner, as her
shot deflected off a Kean defender and past the keeper into the
goal.
The Cougars controlled the offensive attack, holding a 19-7
advantage in shots and a 6-2 edge in corner kicks. Raptors junior
keeper Kristen Cargen (Cherry Hill, N.J.) stopped four shots, while
Kean junior goalie Samantha Groh (Mason, Mich.) made two saves.
The Cougars return to action on Wednesday, September 27, when they
travel to New Jersey City University for a NJAC match-up at 3:30
p.m.
