Stockton had one golden opportunity to break the shutout in the 87th minute when Dante Montesinos (West Long Branch/Shore Regional) got free in front of the net, but his header was tipped over the crossbar by NYU netminder Luca Mancuso.
 
Six different Ospreys had one shot each, with Montesinos and Ervin Gjeli (Hasbrouck Heights/Hasbrouck Heights) being the only Ospreys to fire a shot on goal.
 
Dino Gromitsaris (Bordentown/Bordentown) made one save in suffering his first loss of the year. Mancuso kicked out a pair of Osprey shots in posting his second straight shutout
