Galloway, NJ – Stockton University (2-0) scored the tying goal in the last minute of regulation, then won the match in overtime, for a 2-1 victory over Albright (1-1) on Sunday afternoon. Kassidy Wentzell (Hammonton/St. Joseph's) scored her first career goal to give Stockton their second straight win to open the season.
 
The contest was scoreless through the first 20 minutes of the first half until the Lions broke the tight defensive affair. Bailey Lehman scored on a penalty stroke to give the visitors a 1-0 lead that would last the rest of the half. Albright forced much of the action as they outshot Stockton 9-5 with six attempts being on net in the first half.
 
The contest remained a defensive struggle the rest of the game as neither team could break the other squad's backlines. Stockton had a chance to knot the score in the 63rd minute but a penalty stroke sailed high. The Ospreys kept up the pressure until the final minute when they finally were able to tie the match.
 
Victoria Caiazzo (Manahawkin/Southern Regional) passed a corner attempt to Harlee York (Riverdale/Pompton Lakes). York returned the ball to Caiazzo who backhanded the equalizer home with 54 seconds left in regulation. The assist was the first career point for York.
 
Stockton wasted little time in ending the match as they broke free toward the Lions' goal early in OT. A blast by Britney Stein (Ocean City/Ocean City) was blocked in front by an Albright defender. Wentzell collected the loose ball and fired home her first career goal for the game-winner just 1:50 into the overtime period.
 
Emily Gilligan (West Deptford/West Deptford) kicked out seven shots in earning her second victory of the season in net for the Ospreys. Aileen Taylor made six saves for Albright in taking the loss.
 
The Ospreys will face Elizabethtown on Wednesday night in the second of four consecutive home matches. Game time is set for 7 pm.
