Stony Brook shortened the deficit to two goals, 9-7, late in the third quarter and opened the scoring in the fourth frame to make it a one-goal game.

Binghamton extended its lead back to three goals, 12-9, and held the Seawolves to just one goal over the final eight-plus minutes of action to close out the victory.

“We were not ready to play with the level of focus, urgency and energy. I have to do a better job of getting the message across that we have to earn every single thing in every game,” head coach Anthony Gilardi said. “We need to learn from this and get ready for a rivalry game to start CAA play next weekend.”

Up next, the team opens CAA play next Saturday, March 15 at Hofstra. The Seawolves and Pride are set for a 7 pm start in Hempstead with the contest streaming on LacrosseTV.
