Galloway, NJ – JACK CLEARY and RYAN VIERBUCHEN tallied three goals each, but the Montclair State University men's lacrosse team was topped by Stockton 15-11 in Coastal Lacrosse Conference action on Saturday night.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Ospreys opened the scoring before Cleary netted his first marker of the game off a Vierbuchen assist to make it 1-1 with just over five gone in the first quarter. Stockton opened up a three-goal lead entering the second, tallying three consecutive goals in the final 5:04.

• Vierbuchen opened the third stanza, scoring 1:23 into the frame before Cleary scored unassisted to make it 8-4. Mounier and JOHN CRANK netted goals to dig into the lead, but Stockton re-built the five-goal cushion with the last two goals and led 11-6 going into the fourth.

FROM THE FIELD
"Unfortunately we didn't play a complete game tonight. I thought we did some nice things but weren't able to get going offensively until after the break and at this time of the season you need to play complete games to be victorious." Head Coach Matt Poskay.
