No. 2 Men’s Lacrosse handles Stockton, 21-7

GALLOWAY, N.J. – The second-ranked Salisbury University men's lacrosse team improved to a perfect 12-0 in the 2025 campaign on Wednesday evening, using a nine-goal second quarter to pull away from the Stockton University Ospreys in its second Coastal Lacrosse Conference (CLC) bout of the season, 21-7.

Chris Wong powered a 4-0 Sea Gull start to the affair, following Ty Keaton's opening strike with consecutive punch-ins before Bryce Stevenson netted his third pole goal of the campaign to establish the early edge. Connor Herraiz found Keaton at the 2:07 mark to answer Stockton's first goal, setting the score at 5-1 through 15 minutes.

The Ospreys (7-6, 0-2 CLC) opened the second stanza with back-to-back goals to draw the wrath of the Sea Gulls, who promptly unleashed an eight-goal run in just over five minutes to break the game open, 13-3. Ryan Della tallied three goals in the stretch, while Riley Strub and Chris Wong each added a pair and Herraiz added his first tally. Della added his fourth goal of the frame to answer Stockton's fourth and set the halftime score, 14-4.

The third quarter saw just two goals scored, with Brice Bromwell connecting with Strub for SU's 15th net-rustle. Bret Bergey and Kellen Smaw entered the scoring column to open the fourth, while four Sea Gulls – Brayden Velasquez (aided by Preston Huffman), Jacob Gigliotti, Jimmy Son and Bishop Barnes – added to the total in the final 10 minutes before a late Osprey goal set the 21-7 final. Gigliotti's tally was his first goal as a Sea Gull.
