Elizabethtown, PA – Stockton University (6-5) played its first game in 10 days and suffered a 71-49 setback to Elizabethtown (7-3) in a non-conference road contest. Perhaps rusty from the layoff, the Ospreys shot only 2-18 from three-point range (11.1%) and scored less than 65 points for just the second time in 11 games this season.
 
Najha Treadwell (Cinnaminson/Cinnaminson) was the lone Stockton player in double figures with 13 points. April Peterson (Lafayette/High Point), Lea Mendolla (Nutley/Mount St. Dominic) and Mckenna Forry (Waterford/Hammonton) contributed nine markers apiece, with Forry tying her career high.
 
Peterson went 4-6 from the floor and also grabbed a team-high seven rebounds while Amy Loyola (Camden/Camden Academy) grabbed a career-high seven boards. Hailee Porricelli (Howell/Freehold Twp.) tallied eight points and a team-high three assists. All 15 Ospreys played in the game but only six scored.
 
Stockton put just six points on the board in the first 8:24 before two buckets by Tredwell in the last 1:35 of the opening quarter helped cut an eight-point deficit to 15-10 at the end of the period.
 
After falling behind by nine early in the second stanza, three-pointers by Mendolla and Porricelli, Stockton's only two treys of the night, closed the gap to 19-16. A Porricelli free throw later got the Ospreys within two at 21-19 but they went scoreless for the last five minutes of the half while Elizabethtown netted 11 straight markers for a 32-19 count at the break.
 
Stockton was unable to make a dent in the margin during the second half. The Ospreys went 0-6 from three-point range and trailed by double figures for all but 18 seconds after halftime. Peterson and Forry combined for 18 of Stockton's 30 second-half points with nine apiece but the rest of the Ospreys shot just 5-26 (19.2%) and the result was a 71-49 defeat.
 
Stockton returns to conference play with an NJAC home game against Rutgers-Newark on Wednesday at 8 pm.
