Box Score CAMDEN, N.J. – Senior midfielder
(Marlton, NJ/Cherokee) was taken down in the box, setting up Grotti's penalty kick. The Raptor senior converted his fourth PK in as many attempts this season to put a sudden end to the game only 2:38 into the first overtime. The goal increased his career point total to 110 (45 goals, 20 assists), tying Mike Zeno (1992-95) for first place on the all-time program charts.
The shot extended the Scarlet Raptors' home winning streak to 14 games, dating back to last season.
After the two teams went scoreless for most of the opening half, Rutgers-Camden broke the ice when midfielders
Stevan Austino (Buena, NJ/Buena Regional) and
Eric Cutry (Medford Lakes, NJ/Shawnee) combined for a pretty goal at 41:49. Austino, breaking down the middle, chipped the ball past the Stockton defense to spring Cutry in the box. Cutry, who played a stellar all-around game, finished with a chip to the top right over Stockton sophomore goalie
Bob Millar (Cream Ridge, NJ/Allentown). The Ospreys finished with a 15-14 edge in shots, including 15-11 in regulation, while the Scarlet Raptors held a 3-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Millar finished with four saves for Stockton. Raptor senior goalie
Mike Randall (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill East) notched eight saves, including five during a busy second half.
The Scarlet Raptors return to action Saturday when they host Montclair State University in a 2:30 p.m. NJAC Homecoming Day game. Stockton entertains Penn State-Abington the same day in a 1 p.m. non-conference game.
