When he was a sophomore, Caden Sundermann was thwarted on his only penalty-kick attempt during a shootout against Cinnaminson in the NJSIAA South Jersey Group II tournament. On Sept. 9 against nearby rival Southern Regional, the Pinelands Regional senior struck gold.

“I’ve been practicing my PKs, so when I put it down I knew where I was going to place the ball,” said Sundermann, who delivered the golden goal with 50.3 seconds left in the first overtime to give the Wildcats a 2-1 victory.
