Galloway, NJ – Stockton University (3-0) scored once in each half and played stout defense to post its first shutout of the season, 2-0 over Elizabethtown (2-1). Victoria Caiazzo (Manahawkin/Southern Regional) scored a goal for the third straight game and added a defensive save as well.
 
Stockton had the better of the play early and cashed in with 23:35 gone as Britney Stein (Ocean City/Ocean City) poked in a loose ball at the right post for her first goal of the season. The shots were even at five apiece and the Ospreys held a 5-2 advantage in corners during the first half.

Less than two minutes later, Caiazzo shoveled a shot against the grain that found its way through a crowd and into the left side of the cage to boost the Stockton lead to 2-0. Elizabethtown registered 13 shots and 11 penalty corners in the half, but the Ospreys held strong in the defensive end and recorded their first shutout of the season and third straight win, 2-0.
 
Stockton goalie Emily Gilligan (West Deptford/West Deptford) made six saves. Calloway chipped in with one stop on the penalty stroke while Caiazzo and Arielis Reyes (Pennsauken/Pennsauken) each contributed one defensive save for the Ospreys.
