Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Midfielder Sarah Zuzulock appeared in every Rutgers-Camden game during her brilliant four-year career with the women’s soccer program, starting all but two of them. Her 69 career games are tied for 16th on the program’s career list and her 12 assists are tied for the 13th-highest total. She added seven goals for 26 career points.
 
Named the team’s Most Valuable Player as a junior, Zuzulock was a two-time team captain who led Rutgers-Camden to New Jersey Athletic Conference playoff berths during her final two seasons. The Scarlet Raptors also added an ECAC playoff berth in 2018. Prior to that season, the team hadn’t reached either the NJAC or the ECAC playoffs since 2007.
 
Zuzulock’s accomplishments extend far beyond the soccer pitch, where she was one of the team’s leaders. A Dean’s List student who captured numerous academic honors in the demanding field of Nursing, she also served on the school’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
 
During her senior year, Zuzulock was named Rutgers-Camden’s Woman of the Year by the New Jersey Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NJAIAW). The NJAIAW annually honors one female athlete from all of the state’s two- and four-year colleges, noting, “Each Woman of the Year recipient has made significant contributions to her institution and community through athletic accomplishments, academic success and community involvement.”
