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.
The Stockton University field hockey team qualified for a Zag Field Hockey/NFHCA Division III National Academic Team Award from the National Field Hockey Coaches Association. The Ospreys earned the award for the ninth straight year and 14th time in the last 16 years.
The Stockton field hockey team continued its rise as the Ospreys won 14 games, just one off the school record set in 2018, for their third straight winning season. Head coach Sarah Elleman led the team to the best start in school history by winning the first 10 games, including four by shutout, and the best winning percentage in the program's 17 seasons (.778).
