Galloway, N.J. (Sept. 10, 2017) - Stockton University (5-0) scored a goal in the 55th minute then added a late penalty kick for a 2-0 win over Alvernia University (2-3) Sunday afternoon in non-conference men's soccer action at Stockton.

The teams played a fairly even first half with Alvernia holding a slight 6-5 edge in shots over the first 45 minutes.  Both goalies made three saves each to keep the game scoreless.

Stockton broke through 10 minutes into the second half when Nick Cristea and Bobby Riordan converted on a give-and-go in the box resulting in Cristea's third goal of the season.

Alvernia nearly found the equalizer four minutes later, but a rip from Nick Sincavage was off the cross bar.

The Osprey held the 1-0 lead into the final minutes of play when they were given a penalty kick which Cristea converted for the 2-0 final.

Alvernia senior Zach Rider finished with six saves for the Golden Wolves.
