Glenside, PA – Stockton University (4-1-1) stretched their unbeaten streak to five straight matches with a 1-0 victory over Arcadia (3-2) on Wednesday night. John Maxted (Middletown/Middletown North) scored 1:14 into the second half for the lone goal of the contest, propelling Stockton to the win.
 
The first half was a tight, scoreless affair in which Stockton outshot the Knights by a slim 7-5 margin. The Ospreys put three attempts on net to one for the home team, but neither squad could break through for a score.
 
Maxted finally broke the deadlock with his game-winning shot from a sharp angle at the right side of the net that eluded the Arcadia goalkeeper for the 1-0 lead. Maxted's first goal of the season came on a pass from freshman Colby Rumpf (Williamstown/St. Augustine Prep), who earned his first career point with the assist.
 
From there, the Stockton defense clamped down, allowing just two shots in the second half, to grab the 1-0 victory. The Ospreys held a 6-0 advantage on corner kicks on the evening as well.
 
Stockton netminder Dino Gromitsaris (Bordentown/Bordentown) made three saves in posting his second straight shutout and third in the last four games.
 
Arcadia net minder Jake Varrato kicked out five shots on the evening.
 
Stockton returns home to start a four-match homestand on Saturday. The Ospreys will face Ursinus College, with a 4 pm start time.
