SBU Sports: Women’s soccer downs Delaware on the road

Stony Brook women’s soccer secured a 3-2 victory against Delaware on Oct. 13 at Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium in Newark Delaware behind goals from Gabby Daniels, Hannah Maracina and Reilly Rich. The Seawolves moved into a three-way tie for second place in the CAA with the win.

Stony Brook started the scoring when Reilly Rich recorded her third goal of the season in the 35th minute. Rich buried her second penalty kick of the season, opening the scoring after a Delaware foul in the box.

The Seawolves increased their lead to 2-0 on a goal from Hannah Maracina — her third goal of the season — in the 36th minute, assisted by Kristina Garcia. The strike saw Maracina get airborne, similar to her score in the win over Hampton earlier this week.

Delaware closed the gap to 2-1 on Brooke Vogel’s 57th-minute goal, assisted by Morgan Tilley.

The Seawolves went back ahead by two goals on a goal from Gabby Daniels, her third goal of the season. Emanuelly Ferreira had the lone assist on the goal, providing the helper off of a setpiece from the corner.

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.
