Stockton Tops NJCU 45-44 in Overtime

Galloway, N.J. – Stockton University (5-4, 2-2 NJAC) tied the game on a clutch three-pointer by Imene Fathi (Wildwood/Wildwood) with six seconds left and prevailed 45-44 over New Jersey City (3-5, 2-2 NJAC) in overtime. The Ospreys scored the first four points of OT and stayed in front from there.
 
Skylar Fowlkes (Vineland/Vineland) led Stockton with a team-high 10 points plus eight rebounds. Freshman Jameelyonna Horace (Penns Grove/Penns Grove) contributed career highs of nine points and 10 rebounds.
 
Freshman Aiyonna Alexander (Sicklerville/Winslow Twp.) also recorded career highs with eight markers and 10 boards. Fathi finished with eight points and six rebounds. The Ospreys dominated the glass 53-38.
 
The lead changed hands six times in the fourth quarter before Fathi's timely three-pointer tied the game 36-36 with six seconds on the clock. Fathi and Alexander then scored the first two baskets of overtime for a 40-36 advantage.
 
The Ospreys led by four on three more occasions, with the last coming at 45-41 on a free throw by Fathi with 11 ticks left. A late three-pointer by NJCU's Elyssa Russo set the final score at 45-44.
 
Fowlkes scored six points and Horace added four during a low-scoring first half that ended with Stockton on top 17-10. The lead was 19-12 after a basket by Fowlkes in the third quarter, but NJCU reeled off eight straight points and pulled ahead 20-19.
 
The remainder of the third stanza and entire fourth period were close. Danielle Jeffreys (Sicklerville/Williamstown) gave the Ospreys a lift with five of her team's 12 fourth-quarter points. Fathi forced overtime and Stockton outlasted the Gothic Knights 45-44 after five extra minutes.
 
Kendra Rigo paced NJCU with a double-double of a game-high 17 points plus 10 rebounds. Carissa Reyes scored 10 markers and Autumn John added 10 boards plus four points.
