Collegeville, PA – Stockton University (7-3-3, 2-0-1 NJAC) saw their six-match unbeaten streak to come a halt with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Ursinus Bears (3-6-2) in a non-conference matchup on Tuesday night. Aiden Hoenisch (Bordentown/Notre Dame) tallied the lone goal for the Ospreys in the game.
 
The home team took the early 1-0 lead in the first half on a penalty kick for the only scoring in the first 45 minutes of play. Stockton dominated the play most of the match, outshooting the Bears 8-3 in the first half and 20-7 overall but could not find the back of the net.
 
The Ospreys kept up the pressure, but Ursinus' defense was able to fend off the visitors. The Bears scored what would prove to be the game winner at 82:22 on Matthew McFadden's second tally of the night to make it 2-0.
 
Stockton kept firing away until Hoenisch scored his fifth goal of the season at 88:05. Uche Wokocha (Galloway/St. Augustine Prep) and Kieran Sundermann (Little Egg Harbor/Pinelands) assisted on the marker. The Ospreys had one last chance with 30 seconds left but Wokocha's header sailed wide, and the Bears came away with the 2-1 victory.
 
Hoenisch, Ernst Louisius (Asbury Park/Neptune), and Eddie Smith (Florence/Florence Twp.) accounted for 11 of the Ospreys' 20 shots in the game.
 
Brady Bartletta (Hainesport/Rancocas Valley) made three saves in net, while Josiah Moore made seven saves for Ursinus.
 
Stockton will play their second of three straight road contests on Saturday, when the Ospreys take on Rutgers-Camden in Camden, NJ in NJAC play. Game time is scheduled for 1 pm.
