Galloway, NJ – Stockton University (12-4, 3-3 NJAC) played their last regular season game and came out on the short end of a 10-1 defeat to The College of New Jersey (15-1, 5-0 NJAC) on Tuesday night. The Lions, who never trailed in the game, are ranked #2 in NCAA Division III by the IWLCA.

The start of the game was delayed 70 minutes due to lightning. Senior goalkeeper Mary Stornes (Galloway/Absegami) made 12 saves for the Ospreys.
 
The Lions took control early, scoring four goals in the first six minutes. The Stockton defense faced heavy pressure in the first half as the shots were 15-1 for TCNJ, but the Ospreys battled throughout. Two more goals by the Lions made it 6-0 at the half.
 
Freshman Sarah Frankovic (Long Valley/West Morris Central) scored the lone Osprey tally on a free-position shot 5:01 into the second half to get the Ospreys on the board. TCNJ potted the last four scores of the game for the 10-1 final.
