GLASSBORO, NJ -- #2 Rowan advanced to the NJAC Championship with a 4-0 semifinal victory over Stockton Wednesday night from the Rowan Soccer & Lacrosse Complex.
The Profs (15-0) will take on #6 TCNJ in the NJAC Title Game on Saturday in a 5 p.m. start. This is the tenth appearance in the tournament final in program history and the third time it will be hosted in Glassboro (2023, 2015). Rowan is seeking its first conference crown since 2022.
Bella Moore, Sara Wiedeman, Angela Oliveto, and Gabby Rabinowitz all scored to give Rowan a crack at the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row.
In the 21st minute, Moore scored her eighth on the season as she took a pass from Wiedeman and was able to flick on by Stockton keeper Tori Vliet. The home team outshot the Ospreys, 7-2, in the first 45 minutes where it stayed a one-goal game.
The second half saw the Profs fire off 15 shots. One of which was from Wiedeman who cranked a blast from the left side from 25 yards out to the far post in the 54th minute for her team-leading 14th tally. Cailey Bozinis drew the assist.
Later in the 68th minute, Oliveto was able to make it 3-0 as she potted her sixth goal after a scrum on the goal mouth off a corner kick. Rabinowitz capped the scoring just over six minutes later as she converted on a shot after a Stockton turnover just outside the box.
Vliet recorded two saves for the Ospreys (9-6-3).
Rowan goalie Enya Carthy was credited with one save for the team's fifth shutout in a row and 12th this year.
