Stony Brook women’s soccer got a pair of goals from Reilly Rich in a 3-0 shutout victory over UNCW on senior day on Oct. 20 at LaValle Stadium. The Seawolves earned their sixth straight result and clinched CAA postseason berth with Sunday’s victory.

Stony Brook grabbed a 1-0 lead when Rich scored her fifth goal of the season, via a penalty kick, in the 37th minute. After a Seawolf was taken down in the box, Stony Brook was awarded the PK, which Rich buried on the left side of the goal.

The Seawolves added another score on a goal from Rich, this time after her shot deflected off a Seahawks’ defender, in the 46th minute. Mercy Sabuni Soderling and Emanuelly Ferreira assisted on Rich’s second goal of the match.

Stony Brook went up 3-0 on Linn Beck’s 61st-minute goal, her seventh of the season. Aneta Sovakova assisted on the goal, feeding a perfect pass from the corner that Beck headed home to the far side of the net.

Nicolette Pasquarella made five saves, including a pair of highlight-reel stops to keep UNCW off the board entirely and pick up her 10th win of the season.

“Happy with the overall performance today. We scored the first goal at the right time, just before half, that gave us the security and belief for the second half,” head coach Tobias Bischof noted postgame. “I thought we played a very clean game, created some good scoring opportunities and scored our goals at the right time.”

Stony Brook University recently unveiled a new statue of everyone’s favorite mascot, Wolfie, on the Academic Mall. 

The 7-foot-tall bronze sculpture created by artist Virgil Oertle stands behind a bench where fellow Seawolves can come over and relax, or take a photo. Funds were generously donated by alumnus Ken Marcus, Class of 1971.

Interim President Richard McCormick said the university was thrilled to present the statue to the community, and hoped it will be an enduring symbol of the pride of Stony Brook.

“Wolfie spans many generations of Seawolves, connecting us all through his spirit and tenacity,” McCormick said. “He is authentic, confident, inspiring and a supportive friend, reflecting the best of who we are as a community, and as individuals.”
