Glassboro, N.J. - Stockton University (15-11, 3-5 NJAC) took a swing at knocking off unbeaten Rowan University (30-0, 8-0 NJAC), which is ranked second in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association poll, but the Ospreys came up just short by scores of 1-0 and 3-0.
 
Emily Spencer (Southampton/Seneca) reached a milestone with the 100th hit of her four-year college career, which encompasses two seasons at Monmouth University and two seasons at Stockton.
 
Nerina Tramp (Blackwood/Highland) pitched a four-hitter with two strikeouts and two walks in the opener, but an unearned run in the third inning proved to be the difference in the 1-0 setback.
 
A double by Charli Czaczkowski (Jackson/Jackson Memorial) in the top of the first was the lone hit for Stockton off Rowan pitcher Rylee Lutz.
 
Spencer went 2-3 in the nightcap with a double in the fourth inning and an infield single in the top of the seventh that was hit number 100 for the shortstop. Megan Sears (Oakland/Indian Hills) and Emma Coldsnow (Yorktown, Va./Tabb) each reached base twice on one single and one hit by pitch apiece.
 
Rowan scored once in the second inning and twice more in the sixth frame for the 3-0 final. Despite the result, Stockton pitchers Lexi Liquori (Union/Union) and Mia Barone (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) produced solid performances in the game.
 
Liquori allowed one run in two innings while Barone pitched three scoreless innings before yielding two runs in the sixth as the duo held a Rowan squad that is averaging 7.0 runs per game to just three.
 
Stockton will be on the road again on Saturday for an NJAC doubleheader at William Paterson that begins at noon.
