Woodard also hit a pair of clutch free throws 15.9 seconds left to extend Ocean's lead to 66-61.
Senior Jack Carroll led Rumson with a game-high 28 points and was in the center of a controversial call in the final seconds.
After drawing a foul on a three-point shot with 3.6 seconds left and his team down by five, Carroll made the first two foul shots and purposely missed the third. The referee prematurely blew his whistle as the ball hit the backboard, but the ball hit the rim off the bounce, making it a legal miss. Rumson came down with the rebound, but the inadvertent whistle resulted in a jumpball and Ocean had the possession arrow in its favor.
Miller then hit the second of two free throws to deny Rumson another chance to send the game into overtime.
Junior Jackson Patton scored 15 points for Rumson, including 10 in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Geoff Schroeder also pitched in 11 in the loss.
