Stockton University is ranked among the top public universities in the nation. Their nearly 9,000 students can choose to live and learn on the 1,600-acre wooded main campus in the Pinelands National Reserve in South Jersey and at their coastal residential campus just steps from the beach and Boardwalk in Atlantic City. The university offers more than 160 undergraduate and graduate programs.“It’s made me have a lot of fun at college,” said the sophomore Business Administration major from Forked River. “There are so many cool things that come with it. The trips. The community. I’ve met so many people. We hang out all the time, and it’s just an amazing community to be a part of.”During the party, Stockton’s team played game sessions with high schoolers and hosted a first-of-its-kind live, remote guest commentary, according to Demetrios Roubos, the manager of Stockton’s esports program. High schoolers were given the opportunity to join the Rocket League and Super Smash Bros. competitions and provide live commentary. Roubos said the esports team also presented a “Day in the Life of a Collegiate Esports Player” session to the high school students.This year’s Rocket League team also includes Nicholas Edwards, Anthony Roselli, Kevin Smith and Howard Haughton. Hayden Seiberlich, Andres Arteaga, Jackson Busza, Daniel Digioia, Justin Ritter, Trevor Smith and Jacob Hughes comprise the Super Smash Bros. team.In addition to the in-person competition, hosting the Garden State Esports Collegiate Circuit competition last week also allowed Stockton’s esports team to reach out to high school gamers through a virtual interactive watch party on Twitch.Parker, who’s also part of Stockton’s Overwatch esports team, said he’s followed Stockton’s esports team since he was a sophomore at Hammonton High School when the university hosted a Rocket League event.

This event not only celebrated our competitive spirit but also reinforced Stockton’s role as an innovator in the esports community.”(GALLOWAY, NJ) — The Stockton University esports team will compete for Garden State Esports (GSE) Collegiate Circuit titles after a dominating performance on December 10, 2024 at an in-person competition on campus.
View event page for full information“It’s nice being able to see other people and play against them when they are like 10 feet away from you,” said the Biology major from Hammonton. “That’s probably my favorite part about it all.”Hughes didn’t really know much about the esports team before trying out in his first semester at Stockton last year.The Ospreys’ Rocket League team defeated Camden County College and Rowan University, and the Super Smash Bros. team beat Camden County College and Atlantic Cape Community College. With the victories, both teams won the GSE South Conference and advanced to the Garden State Esports Collegiate Cup finals on Feb. 22 at ACX1 Studios in Atlantic City.“I still have an original Stockton esports jersey,” he said. “I joined the team as soon as I got to Stockton as a freshman. It’s one of the best things I’ve done here.”
