Hoboken, N.J. – Stockton University (3-0) scored three straight goals to rally from an early 2-0 deficit and defeat Stevens (2-2) 3-2 for its third straight win to open the season. Gianna Morganti (Berlin/St. Joseph's) potted the game-winning goal on a penalty stroke with 4:36 remaining.
 
Stevens scored twice in the first quarter to put the Ospreys in a 2-0 hole. Skylar Migliaccio converted a penalty stroke 5:59 into the game and Brynn Froehlich added the second marker with just 10 seconds left in the period.
 
Kassidy Wentzell (Hammonton/St. Joseph's) started Stockton's comeback with her second goal of the season. Wentzell's shot into the left corner of the cage got the Ospreys on the board with 3:23 left in the second quarter, and the deficit was 2-1 at the break.
 
Jennelle Long (Matawan/Matawan) knotted the game at 2-2 with her first goal of the season during the third quarter and the teams were deadlocked heading into the fourth stanza. Stockton earned a penalty stroke with 4:36 on the clock and Morganti fired the attempt into the cage for the eventual game-winner in the 3-2 triumph for the Ospreys.
 
The goal was Morganti's team-leading fourth of the season. She has scored at least once in all three of Stockton's games thus far. The Ospreys were outshot 11-3 and outcornered 11-2 in the fourth period, yet they found a way to win.
 
Stockton goalkeeper Emily Gilligan (West Deptford/West Deptford) earned the victory with 10 saves, including five in the fourth quarter to keep the Ducks off the board. Gilligan's final save of the evening came with two minutes to play as she preserved the one-goal edge. Emily Franco made five stops for Stevens.
 
Stockton will conclude a three-game road trip with a contest at Swarthmore on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
