The Lions snapped a three-game winless streak and dealt Stockton its second straight loss. Senior goalkeeper Steve Scuttellaro (Brick, NJ/Brick Memorial) allowed just one marker and made one save to earn the win.

Down 2-0 late in the second half after Luber's tally, Stockton got a goal from Sean McCallum (Vineland, NJ/Vineland) on an assist from A.J.Colubiale (Cape May, NJ/Lower Cape May) at 82:07 to cut the lead in half. The Ospreys threatened in the final minute and got the apparent game-tying goal on a header by Rafael Duarte (Ocean City, NJ/Ocean City) with 28 seconds remaining, but the scoring play was negated by an offside call and TCNJ prevailed 2-1.
Stockton goalkeeper Matt Hart (Dayton, NJ/South Brunswick) made two saves and was forced to leave the game due to injury in the second half. Tim McKenna (Sewell, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) replaced him in net for the final 12:53 of the match.
