Chatham 3 Shawnee 2 (2OT) | Group 3 State Final

Alex Donoghue crashed the net to finish a fantastic service from Lucy Arps on a corner kick with 5:03 remaining in double overtime to give the Cougars a second state championship in the last three years.  The Cougars trailed 2-1 when Arps delivered another corner kick to Rutgers commit Amanda Thornton to tie the game 2-2 in the 73rd minute.  Shawnee got goals from Caitlin Olkowski and Maddie Zaun.  Arps scored Chatham’s first goal and finished with a goal and two assists.  Chatham (19-5-1) won a fifth straight Morris County title and ended the year with a state title.  Shawnee’s excellent season comes to an end with a 21-3 record.

Lizzie Rubin added a beautiful finish to close out the scoring, giving Ramsey three goals within the opening twenty minutes.
