Galloway, NJ – Stockton University (2-0) opened the 2026 season in fine fashion, as the Ospreys downed Manhattanville University (0-2) by scores of 3-1 and 3-0 on Tuesday afternoon. Elizabeth Martin (Port Republic/Cedar Creek) and Casey Sokol (Lansdale, PA/North Penn) both earned their first career wins in the circle.
 
Game one saw the teams score a run each in the first inning. Stockton plated single runs in the third and fourth frames on RBI by Emma Coldsnow (Yorktown, VA/Tabb) and McKenna George (Centennial, CO/Eaglecrest) for the 3-1 lead.
 
Martin tossed the first four innings allowing four hits and the one run, before giving way to Lexi Liquori (Union/Union) who closed the door with three scoreless innings for her second career save and giving Martin her first career victory.
 
The nightcap was another taught affair with a pair of freshmen leading the way. Camryn Harry (Swedesboro/Paul VI), who rapped her first career hit in the first game, drove in her first career RBI in the first inning to give the Ospreys a 1-0 lead.
 
In the fourth frame, after pinch runner Jordan Jennings (Philadelphia, PA/MAST Charter) swiped second and third, Aubrey Jeffers (Lumberton/Rancocas Valley) plated Jennings with a ground out for a 2-0 margin. In the sixth inning, freshman Emily Clauss (Delanco/BCIT) scored Sienna Smith (Freehold/Freehold Twp.) with her first career RBI for the insurance run and a 3-0 advantage.
 
That was all Sokol needed as she finished her complete game shutout, scattering four hits and striking out seven hitters for her first career victory, completing the doubleheader sweep.
 
George, Coldsnow, Jeffers, and Caitlin Cetrulo (Caldwell/James Caldwell) all had two hits on the day.
 
Stockton will travel to Salisbury, MD this weekend to play in the Margie Knight Tournament. The Ospreys will play New Paltz at 11am, then will face NYU at 1:30 on Friday for their next two games.
