The Stony Brook men’s soccer team came out on top on Oct. 8 with a 2-0 victory at home over CAA opponent College of Charleston. The Seawolves first scoring opportunity came in the 30th minute when freshman defender Jon Jelercic blasted a shot into the top left corner of the net. This was the first career goal for the freshman. 

The second goal was scored in the 71st minute by sophomore forward Jonas Bickus as he sped past the defenders and tapped the ball home. Jelercic and Bickus had the assist on each other’s goals. 

Senior goalkeeper Edmond Kaiser recorded a clean-sheet, tallying four saves. 

“We got a win and three points so we are obviously very pleased with that, but more importantly the way we played. We’ve been harping all season long that we have to defend well, compete, battle, and play together. Very happy about the clean sheet as well. We put ourselves in a position to win, very happy, very good performance,” said head coach Ryan Anatol.

“We changed our style of playing and the zone around the half line pressed the other team. I think the most important thing for us is the energy, which was totally different today. We are fighting more than ever. It feels special to have a goal and an assist today and I hope that I can keep it going,” said Jon Jelercic

“We won this game because we brought the energy to practice this week. Everyday we worked so hard and I think that we showed that on the field. We have to be focused and keep the same mentality moving forward,” added Jonas Bickus.

The Stony Brook University volleyball team extended its winning streak to three matches on Oct. 9 after defeating Hampton University in straight sets. This is the first ever weekend sweep for the Seawolves in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), as the squad notched a four-set victory Oct. 8 against the Lady Pirates.

The Seawolves were charged by the junior duo of Abby Campbell and Lauren Schmitz capturing a team high of 13 kills and 11 kills in the victory. For the weekend, the tandem led the squad in kills with Campbell capturing 27 and Schmitz having 24 in the conference sweep.

The squad had their hands full in the first set with the Lady Pirates that saw a tied score at seven different points in the set. But, the Seawolves did not fault or waver a lead the entire set and went on a 5-1 run at 20-19 to ultimately take the set, 25-20. Junior Leoni Kunz and Schmitz mashed two kills each in the final stretch to finish off Hamptons early momentum early in the match.

Following a powerful second set victory by Stony Brook, the Lady Pirates did not render, fighting to keep the match alive, as they went on a 9-0 run in the middle of the third set to take a 18-14 lead. However, the Seawolves stormed back later in the set, again going on a late run, scoring the final four points to take the final set, 26-24.

Defensively, junior Julia Patsos led the squad with her persistent and tenacious back-row play, as the libero collected a team-best 13 digs today and 24 overall for the weekend. The Long Island native has had 10 or more digs in 12 of 17 starts this season and now has 202 for the season.

“I am very proud of our group for locking two wins in this weekend which is huge for our goals for the season. I thought we played really well offensively and made some adjustments defensively from yesterday that made a big impact,” said head coach Kristin Belzung.
