Joe Stapleton
Boxscore

Galloway, NJ – Richard Stockton (5-1-1) played almost a flawless defensive game and four different Ospreys scored goals as Stockton downed FDU-Florham (2-3-1) 4-0 on Saturday afternoon. Seven Ospreys garnered points on the day while the defense allowed just three Devils' shots, all in the second half.
 
Anthony Colofranson (Woodbury Hts./Gateway) got the scoring underway on a header from Ian Carmelia (Mt. Holly/Rancocas Valley) at 8:41 for a 1-0 Osprey lead. Joe Stapleton (Forked River/Lacey Twp.) netted his first career goal when he hit the top corner off of a crossing pass from freshman Alex Kourahanis (Sicklerville/Timber Creek) at 27:39 for a 2-0 advantage. Less than 12 minutes later, Kourahanis pushed in a header to make it 3-0 Stockton at the break. Jeff Morgan (Sicklerville/Timber Creek) sent a pass to the middle for the assist.
 
Led by Clevon McPherson (Kingston, JAM/Pemberton), Rob Hepworth (Delran/Delran), Vinnie Puglia (Freehold/Freehold Twp.) and Jeff Tanski (Sicklerville/Timber Creek) the Stockton back line stifled FDU-Florham for the game and Stockton squeezed off  20 shots for the contest. Jose Islas (Bridgeton/Bridgeton) ended the scoring with his first career goal on a pretty give-and-go from freshman Brett Sanson (Delran/Delran) with just 1:55 remaining to set the final score at 4-0. The assist was Sanson's first career point in his rookie season.
 
Stockton goalkeeper Bobby Varga (Toms River/Toms River East) earned his third win and fourth shutout of the season, making just one save. Nick Mihalik started in net for the Devils, making five saves in the first half in the loss. J.T. Bretschneider played the second half in goal, kicking out one shot.
 
Stockton will take to the road for their next game, as they will face Albright on Monday for a 7 pm matchup.
