Boxscore

Richard Stockton (5-2, 0-1) saw their four-match unbeaten streak come to a halt as they dropped the NJAC opener to defending conference champion Kean (4-1-2, 1-0 NJAC) 5-2.

The Ospreys also had their shutout streak stopped at 424 minutes. Offensively, Kevin Churchill (Newton/Newton) and Daen McMichael (Middle Twp. /Wildwood Catholic) scored one goal apiece for Stockton.

The Cougars dominated from the beginning as they scored twice in the first half on goals by Erickson Simeon and Abner Denis. Both tallies were assisted by Sheldon Palmer, giving the Cougars a 2-0 lead at the break.

Palmer then scored 7:43 into the second half to make it 3-0 and ended the day for Stockton goalie Tim Brett (Palmyra/Palmyra). Tiago Goetzke made the pass on Palmer’s goal. Alexander Fernandez scored on an assist from Denis for a 4-0 lead before the Ospreys broke the shutout.

Churchill hit the net with 16 minutes remaining on assists from Anthony Procopio (Vineland/Sacred Heart) and Dominic Nocito (Delran/Delran) to cut the lead to 4-1. Kean extended their lead to four once again just 36 seconds later on a score by Danny Olivo from Tulio Pinto.

McMichael got his first goal of the season for the Ospreys with a helper from Brian Thomsen (Brick/Msgr. Donovan) with just 1:38 remaining to set the 5-2 final score.

Brian Haines made two saves in recording the victory for the Cougars. Brett, who suffered his first loss of the season, made four saves before giving way to Noah Morris (Brick/Brick Twp.), who played the final 36 minutes. Morris kicked out five shots
