Delaware made it a 3-2 game on Olivia Bley’s goal in the 82nd minute. Nicolette Pasquarella made one final save down the stretch, helping Stony Brook stave off a potential Delaware comeback.

“Compliments to the team. We played a good team on the road and had to change some things around. The girls did an amazing job adjusting and deserved the win,” head coach Tobias Bischof said. “The first half was very good, especially with the 18-2 shot advantage.”

The team returns to action on Oct. 20, hosting UNC Wilmington at LaValle Stadium for senior day. The Seawolves and Seahawks are scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff with the contest streaming live on FloFC.

Stony Brook women’s soccer fought back from a second-half deficit to knock off Campbell, 2-1 on Sept. 29 at Eakes Athletics Complex in Buies Creek, N.C. Luciana Setteducate found the equalizer in the 50th minute and Linn Beck provided the game-winning goal seven minutes later.

The Seawolves leveled the game on a goal by Luciana Setteducate — her fourth goal of the season — in the 49th minute, assisted by Sammy Hannwacker. The two connected for the goal off a corner setpiece.

Stony Brook then busted up the 1-1 draw on Linn Beck’s 56th-minute goal, her fourth of the season. Gabrielle Cote assisted the goal.

The Stony Brook University men’s soccer team played to a scoreless draw with the Northeastern Huskies on Sept. 27 at LaValle Stadium. The result brings the Seawolves’ overall record to 1-4-3 on the season.

Stony Brook started quick offensively, creating their first chance of the day in the opening five minutes of play. A shot from Jonas Bickus forced Northeastern’s Colby Hegarty to make an early save. The Huskies responded with a shot of their own in the 15th minute, Rushon Sandy to make one stop to keep the match level.

Opportunities were plentiful as Alex Fleury in the 31st minute had a brilliant shot that bypassed Hegarty, but the Northeastern defense was able to make the team save. Despite another pair of first half chances as Moses Bakabulindi and Trevor Harrison each fired on net, the match would remain scoreless heading into the second half.

Fleury would tally another shot to get things started in the final 45 minutes, while Bakabulindi followed behind with one of his own in the 82nd minute. Stony Brook controlled possession and tried to get ahead as Bickus and Harrison each had an opportunity in the final two minutes of play.

Neither side could generate a score in the match, sending both sides home with a point in the conference standings.

“We got the clean sheet and defended well, I thought we created some good chances. Disappointed though to not get three points out of the game. I thought both halves we were the better team, but we’ve got to do better in front of goal. I think we have the opportunity to create even more chances, but from a performance standpoint it was a good performance. We put ourselves in a position to win the game, but we’ve got to do more to get those three points,” stated head coach Ryan Anatol postgame.

Stony Brook women’s soccer earned its fourth consecutive clean sheet and victory, topping Charleston 3-0 to begin CAA play on Sept. 22 at LaValle Stadium.

The Seawolves improved to 6-2-1 with their fourth straight victory. Stony Brook has outscored the opposition 13-0 during its winning streak, which began back on September 9. Stony Brook continued its dominance at LaValle Stadium, improving to 4-0 at home this season.

Stony Brook took a 1-0 lead when Gabby Daniels scored her second goal of the season in the 30th minute, assisted by Emanuelly Ferreira on a set piece from the far corner. The Seawolves dominated much of the possession in the early going, making good on the constant pressure by scoring the opening goal of the match.

The Seawolves quickly added to their lead when Ferreira and Leah Rifas combined on a goal. Rifas’ throw-in led Ferreira perfectly, who patiently waited to sneak one past Charleston’s keeper to tally the first goal of her collegiate career.

Stony Brook padded the lead early in the second half on Linn Beck’s strike in the 50th minute. Luciana Setteducate and Gabrielle Cote assisted on the goal.

Charleston upped its tempo and pressure offensively late in the contest, finishing with a 9-6 advantage in second-half shots. Despite the nine shots and five corners in the second half, Nicolette Pasquarella was up to the task. Pasquarella made four of her five total saves over the final 45 minutes of play to earn her sixth win of the season and lead Stony Brook to its fourth straight clean sheet victory.

“I’m very happy, it was a great performance by the team. I truly believe that Charleston is one of the best offensive teams in the CAA, obviously that stats say that too. I thought we did a good job trying to minimize their good chances,” head coach Tobias Bischof noted postgame. “But more importantly we did what we wanted to do, which was create chances and score some goals.”

The team returns to the road to continue conference play at Elon on Sept. 26. The Seawolves and the Phoenix meet at 7 p.m. with the contest streaming live on FloFC.
