Boxscore
Sixth-seeded Richard Stockton (16-11) could not prevent or keep up with the hot shooting of third-seeded Mount St. Mary (NY) (19-8) in the second half, and the Ospreys were eliminated from the ECAC Tournament, 85-80.

Senior Kai Massaquoi (Lawnside/Haddon Hts.) led Stockton with a game-high 26 points in his final game in an Osprey uniform. Massaquoi finished tied with Mario Lancioni for seventh in Stockton history with 1,277 career points.

Ibn Moye (Toms River/Central Regional) tossed in 13 points while DiAndre Brown (Sicklerville/Camden Co. Tech) notched a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Dave Williams (Pennsauken/Pennsauken) established a new career high with 10 points.

The Ospreys tied their season high with 32 three-point attempts but sank just eight (25%). Mount St. Mary shot 60 percent in the second half, including a torrid 7-9 (77.8%) from beyond the arc.

After trailing for most of the first half, Stockton pulled ahead 38-37 on a layup by Mike Pendleton (Pennsauken/Pennsauken) in the final second. The Ospreys led 41-39 after two Massaquoi free throws in the first minute of the second half, but Mount St. Mary began to heat up soon after. The Knights outscored Stockton 24-11 in the next 7:14, shooting 6-7 from three-point range during the outburst to open up a 63-52 lead.

The Ospreys gradually fought back and took a brief 77-76 edge on a three-pointer by Brown with 3:43 remaining, but they went scoreless for the next 3:20 while Mount St. Mary reeled off seven straight points. Williams gave Stockton a glimmer of hope with a three-pointer that made the score 83-80 at the 10-second mark before the Knights clinched the game with two free throws for the 85-80 final.
