Camden, N.J. (9/25/10) – For the third
straight match, sophomore Tiago
Goetzke pushed Kean to victory with the game-winning
goal, this time with a 2-1 victory over Rutgers-Camden on Saturday
evening.
Early in the second overtime, freshman Young
Ahn took a restart on the left side and served a ball
into a crowd at the top of the box, where Goetzke (pictured right)
flicked a header inside the far right post for the game-winning
goal. It was his team-high fifth goal of the season and lifted the
Cougars to 5-2-1 overall and 2-0 in the NJAC.
Rutgers-Camden falls to 6-4-1 overall and 2-1 in NJAC play,
snapping a seven-game unbeaten streak (6-0-1).
The Cougars scored the lone first half goal at 31:07 off a
perfect corner kick by Ahn to the far right post. It was headed
home by junior forward Ryan
Peart.
Rutgers-Camden tied the game in the 79th minute after freshman
forward Taylor McGrory slid a perfect through ball into
the box. Freshman midfielder Mitch Grotti ran onto the
pass and finished off his team-leading fourth goal.
Kean outshot Rutgers-Camden, 21-11, but the Scarlet Raptors held
an 8-6 edge in corner kicks in the tight conference game.
Kean senior keeper Alfredo
Oquendo (pictured left) went the distance, making four
saves. Scarlet Raptor junior goalie Tim VanLiew made
nine saves while playing the entire 103:16.
