3-1
Pomona, N.J. (9/15/07) - Senior Anthony

game-winner as Kean University picked up their first win in
conference play by defeating Richard Stockton College, 3-1,
Saturday afternoon.
The Cougars (3-3, 1-0 NJAC) snapped a three-game losing streak
and dealt Stockton (4-1-1, 0-1 NJAC) its first loss of the

Stockton quickly answered at 4:32 when Rafael Duarte (Ocean
City, N.J.) scored on a penalty kick to tie the game at
1-1.

assist from senior Konrad Kruczek (Clifton, N.J.)
at 33:52 to take a 2-1 lead. Tuesta connected again at 44:12,
this time on a penalty kick, which gave the Cougars a 3-1 lead in
the first half.
