Mendolla entered the game with 160 three-pointers, one off the record of 161 by Jenna Shenk (2003-07). The senior tied the mark in the first quarter and then broke it nine seconds into the third quarter with her second trey of the night. Mendolla shot 10-15 from the floor (66.7%) and finished with 25 points to bring her career total to 991 points.
 
Sasha Williams (Cherry Hill/CH West) chipped in with 15 points and 11 rebounds for her fourth straight double-double. Sophomore Mckenna Forry (Waterford/Hammonton) registered career highs of 13 points and seven rebounds. All 15 Ospreys played at least six minutes and 13 scored on the night.
 
After New Jersey City opened the game with a three-pointer, Stockton reeled off 34 straight points for a 34-3 lead at the end of the period. Williams dominated the paint with 11 markers and Mendolla contributed eight. The Ospreys continued the run with the first five points of the second quarter for an insurmountable 39-3 advantage.
 
Already leading 49-15 at the half, Stockton outscored the Gothic Knights 33-7 in the third stanza. Mendolla started the period with the record-breaking three-pointer and netted 12 points on 5-7 shooting. Overall, the Ospreys hit at 61.9 percent from the floor (13-21) in the quarter.
