Camden, N.J.

With the win the Cougars are now 4-3-2 overall and 2-1 in the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). Rutgers-Camden falls to 3-6-1 and 0-2-1 in conference action.

The Cougars scored the game's only goal following a corner kick, when Godwin picked up a loose ball from inside the box and struck a high shot over Rutgers-Camden junior goalie Vanessa Maia (Union, N.J.) and under the crossbar. It was her second goal of the season and first game-winning tally.

Kean out-shot the Lady Raptors, 22-4, and held an 8-3 advantage in corner kicks.
