With the annual Stockton Athletics awards brunch canceled this spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Stockton Athletics is saluting its student-athletes via this virtual awards recognition. All 19 intercollegiate teams are represented with videos featuring seniors and award winners.
For spring sports, award winners from the previous season are featured along with seniors from the current season due to the usual timing of the brunch on the last Sunday in April. Videos for the spring sports teams include awards from Spring 2019 along with seniors from Spring 2020.
In addition to the seniors and award winners, this virtual awards recognition includes highlight videos from two conference championship teams, 2019 Men's Lacrosse and 2019 Volleyball, plus the announcement of the Stockton Male and Female Athletes of the Year.
A total of 133 Stockton University student-athletes earned spots on the 2019-20 New Jersey Athletic Conference All-Academic Team for their work in the classroom. Track & field competitor Qudratullah Qadiri (Ocean Twp./Ocean Twp.) collected NJAC All-Academic First Team recognition for the second straight year. Qadiri was joined on the First Team by field hockey goalie Emily Gilligan (West Deptford/West Deptford).
Qadiri and Gilligan both are seniors. Juniors Daniel Do (Galloway/Absegami), who competes in men's cross country and track & field, and women's soccer player Dasey DiElmo (Little Egg Harbor/Pinelands) were NJAC All-Academic Second Team selections. In addition to Qadiri, Gilligan, Do and DiElmo, 129 Ospreys snagged NJAC All-Academic Honorable Mention spots.
The Stockton women's basketball team improved by two wins over last season in head coach Devin Jefferson's second year at the helm. Of the 10 wins that the Ospreys fashioned this season, five came in NJAC play.
