Last month The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey’s girl soccer team played an amazing game against Misericordia at their home field. My friend McKenzie Lillia and I went to the game about 15 minutes into the first half. There was a lot of support in the stands from Stockton students. Even though neither team scored, it was one of the best soccer games I have watched at Stockton College.
The first half started out as a normal game. There were attempts by both teams to score but all failed. During the second half the game started to get more intense. The attempts from Stockton became more and more frequent and closer and closer to scoring each time. Misericordia scored a few times as well. The teams seemed to be equally matched.
The second half ended with the score still 0-0. The game went into overtime. At this point not many spectators were left in the stands and it was about ten o’ clock at night. A significant amount of true fans were still routing for the team. Stockton got had a few corner kicks giving excellent opportunity to score but still they had no luck. Minutes felt like hours until the first overtime was over. Still the score remained 0-0 so the game went on to a second overtime period. This is when everyone was out of his or her seats screaming for someone to score. Unfortunately that did not happen and the game ended in a tie with zero goals. Even though there was no goals scored it was an excellent game and McKenzie and I had an amazing time watching it.
