Galloway, NJ - Richard Stockton (1-1) trailed by as many as 15 points to the No. 1 ranked team in NCAA Division III, FDU-Florham (2-0) in the first half but the Ospreys gamely fought back to within four markers before falling 76-64 on Sunday afternoon in the championship game of the Stockton Tip-Off Classic Stockton was trying to end a Devils' winning streak that has now reached 35 consecutive games.
 
The Ospreys opened the game with a 10-5 lead in the first five minutes of the tilt as Alex Nardoza (Fords/Woodbridge) scored four early points. A 12-0 run in a span of just under four minutes by the Devils gave them a 17-10 lead that they would never relinquish. Led by Leigh-Ann Lively, who scored 15 of her 17 points in the first half, FDU-Florham stretched their advantage to 44-29 before two Osprey fouls shots closed the half time deficit to 44-31 in favor of the Devils.
 
Stockton was not to be deterred against the defending NCAA Division III champs as they worked to close the lead to 59-55 with 5:24 remaining. Nardoza and freshman Sasha Williams (Cherry Hill/Cherry Hill West) led the charge before the Devils were able to put the game away with one last 12-3 spurt to gain a 71-58 lead with 1:35 left. Stockton was never able to mount another run at the national champs.
 
Nardoza led the Ospreys with a team-high 14 points, three assists and four steals. Williams continued her tremendous opening weekend with 11 points, 14 rebounds and seven blocked shots, giving her a total of 20 points, 23 rebounds and 12 blocks for the two contests.
