GALLOWAY, N.J. (Nov. 2, 2019) – Through the first 21 years of the Rutgers University-Camden women's soccer program, the Scarlet Raptors compiled an 0-5 record in New Jersey Athletic Conference playoff games and never once made it to overtime in those contests.
 
The sixth-seeded Scarlet Raptors went to overtime and beyond here Saturday, pushing third-seeded Stockton University to the limit in a scoreless game before the Ospreys finally prevailed in the sixth round of a penalty kick shootout by a 5-4 PK margin.
 
Officially recorded as a 0-0 tie in the NCAA records, the result closes the Scarlet Raptors' season with a 5-12-1 record. Stockton, 14-3-3, advances to the NJAC semifinals, where it will play Tuesday at No. 2 Montclair State University (12-5-2).
 
Four days after dropping a 2-0 decision at Stockton to end the regular-season schedule, the Scarlet Raptors pushed the Ospreys to the brink of elimination in the NJAC playoffs. Rutgers-Camden took an early 2-1 lead through the first two rounds of penalty kicks, with Stockton hitting the right post on its second kick. Ospreys junior goalie Jennifer Devault, however, saved two of the Raptors' final three penalty kicks. After being deadlocked, 4-4, through the round of five penalty kicks, Stockton won it on the sixth kick when Juliann Gee tallied her PK and Devault stopped the Raptors' final kick.
 
The game marked the Scarlet Raptors' first tie against Stockton since a 0-0 deadlock in 2015 and left the Ospreys with an 18-1-4 lead in the all-time series. The Raptors' lone win came in 2003.
 
Stockton held a 7-5 edge in shots and a 4-3 corner kick advantage in the opening half before applying constant pressure the rest of the way, finishing with a 23-8 advantage in shots and an 8-3 edge in corner kicks. The Scarlet Raptors' defense, however, turned in a stellar performance, led by sophomore goalie Natalie Eberhardt, who made a career-high 14 saves. Eberhardt had 10 saves from the second half on, including a stellar one in the second overtime when she pushed a shot by Kiersten Reszkowski over the crossbar.
 
Eberhardt's 14 saves tied for seventh place in the program's single-game recordbook, only three shy of the mark shared by four goalies. She made five of those saves against Michelle Sander and four against Salena LeDonne, who combined for nine of the 14 Osprey shots on goal. Rutgers-Camden had only one shot on goal, collected by freshman midfielder Maggie Horn. Horn took three of the Raptors' eight shots, while Meghan Wachira had four shots and Lauren Calabria added one.
 
Devault made one save to register the shutout.
