Camden County advances to NJCAA Division III national championship

It’s taken almost five years, but Camden County College will get a rematch of the national championship final they lost in 2016.

The Cougars advanced on PKs against host Herkimer College after a scoreless draw and two scoreless 10-minute overtime periods to get back to the national final where they will face Dallas-Richland. The Thunderducks beat Camden 4-0 in the 2016 final.

Camden County played with 10 men from the 33rd minute on after leading goal-scorer Pablo Marques was shown a second yellow card. Despite being short-handed, they controlled possession and created a bulk of the chances but weren’t able to find a breakthrough in a chippy affair that saw the referee give out seven yellow cards.
