Allow only sys admin to change stage name validation rule not working

HI, 
 I have the following validation rule: 
AND( 
$Profile.Name <> "System Administrator", 
ISCHANGED(StageName), 
(TEXT(StageName) = "Closed Lost" || TEXT(StageName) = "Closed Won"))

I want only the system admin profile to able to close opportunity. Yet, I logged in as a std user and was able to create a new opportunity and set the stage to closed won and it saved the record....

Actually, it was working but not with new records. So fixed it by adding ISNEW(). 
Thanks.
