Defensively, Allie Masera and Alexa Constant each collected a team-high three ground balls and causing a pair of turnovers along with Avery Hines. In net, Natalia Altebrando made six saves on a .667 save percentage through the first three quarters, as Francesca Viteritti made one save in the fourth.

HOW IT HAPPENED

William & Mary struck first before a 5-0 scoring run for the Seawolves with a pair from McDonald, and one each for Wilmoth, J. Fusco, and Caporuscio. The Tribe would get another on the board as Stony Brook’s Olivia Schorr closed out the first quarter with her second of the season for a 6-2 lead.

The Seawolves dominated with another four goals to start the second quarter, and William and Mary responded with one of their own with only 70 second remaining in the half. Wilmoth found the back of the net one more time before time expired heading into the break.

Stony Brook continued to impress, scoring nine straight goals through the third and fourth quarters courtesy of Caporuscio, Wilmoth, Casey Colbert, Courtney Maclay, J. Fusco for a career-high, and Olivia Coffey for her first collegiate goal.
