The No. 3-seeded Ospreys were eliminated from the NJAC Tournament with the loss to the No. 2-seeded Lions.

Just over three minutes later, a shot was saved by Delfina Vanelli (Galloway/Cedar Creek), but the rebound went to Jadyn Huff, who scored the eventual game-winner.
Somers, Olivia Catalano (Cinnaminson/Cinnaminson), Abby D'Arcangelo (Egg Harbor Twp./Holy Spirit) and Madison Stillwell (Shamong/Seneca) were solid on defense in front of Vanelli, who made a career-high 11 saves in net.
