Sophomore center LaTonya Oliver is one of the key building blocks for the Ospreys. The six-footer has the size to dominate in the paint. Although she was just a freshman, Oliver was the most impressive Stockton player last year. She led the team in scoring, rebounding and blocks with 11.9 points, 8.8 boards and 1.4 blocks per game. Oliver earned the NJAC Rookie of the Week award four times and later was named NJAC All-Conference Honorable Mention.

Junior forward Kristin Sciarrillo joins with Oliver to give Stockton a strong tandem of post players. Sciarrillo is a proven rebounder and opportunistic scorer who averaged 5.4 caroms per game, led the team with a .495 field goal percentage and went 12-15 (80%) at the free throw line last year. Sophomore point guard Aliyah Nelson completes Stockton’s trio of returning starters. Nelson assumed the starting role as the team’s floor general right from the start of her rookie year and ran the offense with a maturity that belied her youth. The lightning-quick lefty averaged 7.4 points and a team-high 2.7 assists per game for the Ospreys last season.

Junior forward Julia Fagan is capable of providing offense and also contributing on the boards. Fagan joined the Stockton team last year as a transfer from Southern Vermont and averaged 6.2 points and 4.7 rebounds for the Ospreys. Sophomore Monique Garcia is striving to get back to full strength after her rookie year was cut short by a torn ACL. Garcia, who was just beginning to reach her potential when the injury occurred, scored 6.1 points per game in 19 contests before her season ended prematurely. Sophomore forward Sula Washington was used sparingly in 11 games as a freshman, but she has shown improvement and could see more playing time this year. Sophomore guard Casey Kirsch hopes to make a successful return after missing the entire 2008-09 season with a leg injury.

Sophomore guard Nancy White is an experienced newcomer to the Stockton program after transferring from Rowan. White should contribute right away at both guard spots for the Ospreys. Freshman guard Aspen Price-Perry is a rookie to watch in the backcourt. Price-Perry is a good shooter who can play either guard position. Freshman forward Che’Na Thompson is expected to be a strong addition in the frontcourt. Thompson is a versatile player who is solid at both ends of the court. Freshman Shannon Lane is a strong shooter who can play the small forward and power forward spots. Six-one freshman Noelle Hogan and fellow rookie Alexis Walker should help Stockton in the paint with their size. Freshman guards Jill Shaner and Daimis Ortiz add depth in the backcourt while junior transfer Kaitlyn Loftus and freshman Chavonne Shepherd complete the list of newcomers at forward.
