Rutgers-Camden jumped out to an early 13-11 advantage before the Ospreys got untracked. Stockton methodically started to wear down Rutgers-Camden, led by DiAndre Brown (Sicklerville/Camden County Tech) who scored 12 of his team-high 15 points before the break to propel the Ospreys to a 32-18 lead.

Rutgers-Camden scored the first five points of the second half to get within 32-23, but Brown answered with a three-pointer, igniting a 10-0 run that resulted in a comfortable 42-23 cushion after Kelly swished another trey with 13:13 remaining to end the scoring spree.
