The Brookdale Community College women’s soccer team advanced to today’s national championship game for the second straight year after a 3-0 victory of Rock Valley College, Ill. (12-3-1) on Friday.
Brookdale faces Richland Community College of Texas (17-5-2) in the NJCAA Division III National Championship game.  The match-up is slated for 3:30 p.m. today on the campus of Ocean County College.
The team reached the final winning the game on Friday after freshman Ashley Cafarella put Brookdale on the board first, finding the back of the net off an indirect kick from Brooke Tartis in the 20th minute.  Sophomore Caroline Duerr proved to be unstoppable once again, scoring the Blues’ final two goals in the second half to secure the squad’s 18th victory of the year.
