Wayne, NJ – Stockton University (10-3-3, 2-3-2 NJAC) trailed for over 78 minutes before scoring a late goal that led to a 1-1 tie in an NJAC road game at William Paterson (9-4-2, 3-3-1 NJAC).

Eucario Solano (Galloway/Absegami) served a free kick that was headed by Darnell Lopez (Paterson/St. Benedict's Prep) to Dikamk, whose shot from in tight went in under the crossbar to pull Stockton into a 1-1 tie with 10:23 left in regulation.
 
The Ospreys survived a late scare as a William Paterson shot was knocked away from the goal by a Stockton field player with 4:01 left in the second half. Each team registered four shots total in the two overtimes, but none found the net and the match ended in a 1-1 tie.
