After a slow start to their season, the Ospreys successfully defeated their rival, Rutgers Camden, in three sets straight. The Ospreys are now in second place in the NJAC and will have two more matches on Saturday before their playoff season begins. 

In this match, the team worked cohesively to shut down their opponents. Haley Green, an outside hitter, solidified the win with 16 kills. Additionally, Paige Anania racked up time in the libero position, digging up 16 balls. 

In the first set, the Ospreys were neck and neck with the Raptors but managed to win the set 25-18. Stockton finished out the 2nd and 3rd sets with little to no errors, wiping them out (25-11, 25-9). They will host the first NJAC against the 3rd seat on November 3rd at 7pm. If Rowan University advances, the championship game will be at their gym on Saturday, November 5th.
