Galloway, N.J. … The College of New Jersey women's soccer team traveled to Stockton University tonight and earned a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory. The ninth ranked Lions now have an overall record of 11-0-1 and 6-0 in the NJAC.
 
Senior Christine Levering (Robbinsville, NJ/Robbinsville) tallied the golden goal just 53 seconds into the first overtime to set off a wild celebration and clinch the Lions 10th straight triumph.

Despite outshooting the Ospreys 7-0 in the first half, TCNJ couldn't find the back of the net and the game remained scoreless heading into halftime.
 
Levering got the Lions on the board six minutes into the second half when she headed the ball in on a free kick pass from Jen McGrogan (Pompton Plains, NJ/Pequannock Twp).
 
The score quickly went to 2-0 on a tally from Elizabeth Thoresen (Colts Neck, NJ/Red Bank Catholic) just seven minutes later. Levering passed to Thoresen, who broke away and tipped the ball past the goalie.
 
Stockton was able to cut the deficit in half however, when Adrianna Boucher converted on a penalty kick.
 
Three minutes later, Boucher added a second goal to tie the game at 2-2. Neither team was able to score again as regulation expired, so the game went into overtime.
 
Levering needed less than a minute into the first overtime period to break the tie with her 12th goal of the season. Kayla Bertolino (Medford, NJ/Shawnee) passed the ball up to a waiting Levering, who shot from the middle of the box and put it past the goalie.
 
Jessica Weeder (Lebanon, NJ/North Hunterdon) got the start in net for TCNJ and made one save throughout the contest.
 
The Lions are back in action on Saturday, October 15 when they host Montclair State University for an NJAC contest. The game is slated for a 1 p.m. start in the TCNJ Soccer Complex.
