Goalkeeper Bobby Varga (Toms River/TR East) made four second-half saves and the Ospreys survived a scare in the 62nd minute when Rowan's Tyler Logar bounced a shot off the crossbar. Varga made one last save on a header with 1:08 remaining to clinch the 1-0 Stockton victory.
 
Varga finished with seven saves and recorded his league-leading seventh shutout of the season. Varga also extended his shutout streak to 435 minutes since he last allowed a goal.
