Tayvon Gaither (Mt. Laurel/Lenape) shot 5-10 (50%) from the floor and added 12 points for the Ospreys.
 
Stockton endured an 0-14 slump from three-point range in the first half and trailed 44-27 at the break. The Ospreys chipped away in the second half and closed the gap to eight on a Devon Johnson (Pine Hill/Overbrook) three-pointer with 3:48 on the clock.
 
Stockton was unable to get any closer until the final minute, and the Ospreys fell 83-74.
 
Jamison Graves paced Salisbury with a game-high 26 points followed by Aidan Camper with 15 points and Churchill Bounds with 13 markers.
